it was to be priced at $500.. but they could have gone lower i bet...
it has instant on, >8 hours battery life, 1024x768 (compared to eee's 800x 400?) features that i mention are those that eee gay-looking pc does not boast |

foleo will not ship. Palm wants to put all its efforts into a single platform and to focus on the development of its smartphones.

What? COME ONE guys, for $500 i could buy a fully loaded Acer 15.4" Celeron 1.5 with Win XP. Greater screen resolution, etc. This EEE is a piece of crap, in my opinion. It might have better portability, but in that sense Foleo is better albeit it is not going to be released Added on October 31, 2007, 9:19 pmp/s the only good thing about this is that it was offered for $200, of which it was never released due to a $15 price hike on lcd monitor. damn asus This post has been edited by mypetridish: Oct 31 2007, 09:19 PM |

I love Asus Eee Pc so much, the size, weight, design, is simple enthuse. The first impression of this little Eee is jst simply entice & sophisticated... although is powered by Linux, yet still user friendly, and i can still able to use log my msn messenger, gmail, friendster, plays mp3 and other movie files as well. I will get another one which powered by Window. If Asus able to upgrade a little of the webcam quality and sound it will be the perfect match for student and people who searching for a light piece of fine tech gadget to fit their daily lifestyle. |

Wow looks cool and light.
However i think the screen is pretty small, 7" only? I wonder why they dont make the screen as big as the whole "black area". But still an exciting new gadget, SSD cool! |

Actually there's something that I'm worried about. If I were to install XP on it, would the 900MHz Celeron-M ULV be bloody laggy? Celeron-M performance is somewhat like the older gen centrino right.
Hmmm... |

"Operating system
Xandros-based OS or Windows XP" does it means that there is an option where the unit comes preloaded with winxp other than the linux? |

It's currently preloaded with linux. Win XP version dunno when will come. But the presumption is that u can load it from CD via external.
An update for all potential buyers, not trying to burst ur bubble or anything but although it's using a ULV processor, the usage duration is an estimated 3.5 hours (from reviews) and the heat output is somewhat like a normal laptop which means it'll kill off ur... descendants if used for prolonged hours on ur lap. But at a price of less than 2K per pop, it's a STEAL! |

I will get another one which powered by Window. If Asus able to upgrade a little of the webcam quality and sound it will be the perfect match for student and people who searching for a light piece of fine tech gadget to fit their daily lifestyle.seriously later will post now wanna sleep |

Can anyone answer my doubt for this Asus Eee ?
I just couldn't understand what this Eee is for since the harddisk is just at 8GB maximum. Price is tempting to me , but buying just for wireless surfing seems a little waste to me. |

 Lol! About the sony vaio, I like to go to shops, act like some rich dude n go molest the vaio gao gao. Then when the shop keeper start displaying signs of 'buy-or-get-out', I whip out my Dopod 900 as a 'proof of affluency'. Normally that gets him off my back for another 15 minutes or so. |

at least it looks better than a U1010 when viewing LYN.
 i'd go for larger screens with lower res than higher res but ultra tiny pixels for umpcs. saves the eyes from strain, actually. |

QUOTE(kerazul @ Nov 2 2007, 12:00 AM) Estee Lauder perfume - RM500 gf happiness level - CONFIRMED at least 9/10 QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Nov 2 2007, 01:40 AM) Can anyone answer my doubt for this Asus Eee ? It's not harddisk... it's flash memory.I just couldn't understand what this Eee is for since the harddisk is just at 8GB maximum. Price is tempting to me , but buying just for wireless surfing seems a little waste to me. Eeepc is basically a new segment altogether. Officially, it's for the education market and the an alternative to the UMPC and MID devices thats about to be launch In street talk, its basically targeted towards the in between the "buy-a-Kaiser-and-squint-to-see-the-damn-webpage", "the-STUFF-reader-who-want-but-cannot-afford-an-UMPC and the "pay-peanut-get-rubbish-but-complain-QC-no-good" crowd. Asus could've done it cheaper but didn't. So personally, I do think it's a much better buy than those sub RM2K notebooks (which seems superficially better value) |

Somebody mentioned my name?
Yeah, really bz lately. INSANELY BZ!  So come here to escape the real world for a while. I think the Eee PC is good for those whose requirements are very specific and are not adventurous with their PC. Take for instance those who buy PPC phone n the reason given is that they can "Go to starbucks and enjoy free internet". Honestly speaking, surfing the net with my 3.5" - 4" VGA res screen is JUST NICE only. Those with 2.7 - 2.8" QVGA screens wan... heh... goodluck lorr... If ur purpose is to "Go starbucks and enjoy free internet" which is not exactly free anyway coz ur expected to purchase a beverage or food, I feel that the Eee PC is a better way about it. Therefore, if ur uses r strictly documentation and internet, it's a good device. Anything else, u'll end up as Sniper On The Roof said; in the pay-peanut-get-rubbish-but-complain-QC-no-good class. |

Need to carry a laptop everywhere cuz i'm forex trader. the trading platform only 40-50mb.. so this one is more than enough for me.. currently i'm using acer travelmate 6292. 12" lcd, weight 2kg.. quite heavy also.. especially for small person like me..

aiya... all just models only lah. U think they really own the thing meh... Hey ZenZen, y neva take close up pic of the long-haired chick behind? Looks potentially hot.
Well, the target segment of the Eee PC IS parents who want their kids to start out on PC's young and not spend a bomb on notebooks. Explains the kiddie apps u can find inside. Maybe it is also to provide a channel to the lower income groups update themselves with technology. |

yeah, last i heard the foleo was cancel. For now, if you want one of these cheap 'UMPC' i'll say get Asus EEE. But next year when 'Menlow' out in production, that might be a different story.

Then it's better to stay with Linux rather than changing it to XP.
I heard XP itself is 3GB and + Office would left with XXXMB. The 2GB would be enough for me to store all my documents and assignments. Songs and the rest could be stored in my external HDD or SD. |

well, I would say this hype is due to the size of the lappy... small like and UMPC, power /performance is predicatble... furthermore with SSD... only 1500...
I would say I would go buy it becasue of the Weight/Size and SSD... best to mov around and perhaps install in the car my wife should be very happ with this also, as a light user. shall wait for the official source..... |

oh? an Eee thread? wonderful!
Kerazul: this is the stuff that i mentioned to you previously. Good eh? btw, this would be nice for classroom setting as its not HUEG or HEAVY or something to that sense, and its about the same price as people would pay for a handphone these days. seeing this has about 3.5 hours of battery WITH wifi on, i can say you can add about 1 hour or so with the wifi turned off? and also, as someone previously said, SHDC 8GB + this = a better thing to have than a PDA. Even with XP on it, you can save some space by installing OpenOffice seeing its smaller. Besides, you can always nLite your XP installation. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4062 <== some tweaks people have done for the Eee, which includes XP installation. BTW, there is another model of the Eee announced last year - 8GB version. it WILL be more expensive, but would be more better for installing XP WITH extra space. but for basic document workings? i think the 4GB is decent enough. |

If one decides to remain Linux then the 4GB one would be sufficient.
But if one decides to have XP + Office + some other programs,then the 8GB would be nice. |

Hi seaotter,
yeah... I remember that u told me about it d other day. So how ur 6828? Haven't seen u ard here often lately.I think I'll wait for the 8GB version. There's 2 benefits to waiting. The price of the device will drop / Other brands will come up with similar products and similar prices. |

I think you have to wait a lil while longer for the black version considering white version is not yet available in Malaysia. Anyone know when will it be readily available ( go to shop and directly grab it and pay, no need to order one ). I myself waiting for 8G, then try to play it first. If good then only buy.

The only upgradeable thing that you can do is upgrade your RAM - up to 2GB but i doubt anyone here wanna put 2GB since the processor is only 900MHz. However if you plan to install XP, i suggest upgrade to 1GB RAM or wait for EEE 8G since it come with 8GB SSD n 1GB RAM

Don't you think that the screen is actually a bit too small? It's a good screen, bright and nice and the contrast looks great, but it's too small for my liking.

make sure u keep your eyes on it when u r using it outdoors/cafe, thieves will be drooling over it, and it's so light they can take it and run a mile before they run out of stamina
that's the benefit of having a heavy ass notebook........they'll think twice before doing it |

They will have a Pre-launch on 16th November, then the Pre-sale will started on 1pm at my store. About the Warranty is only for 1 year local instead of 2 years Global warranty. Please do update us in this thread upon demo unit arrival. Do you think there will be another round of EEE promotion during upcoming PC fair? |

Maybe. But his cost should be different from that of the official retailer. Lower perhaps. Since he got his stock from Taiwan or sth.

My brother in law mentioned about the Eee yesterday but didn't think much about it until i read this thread this morning and found that the price below RM1.5K. Below link shows what the Eee is bundled with. Also a lot of videos at on Eee at YouTube too.
http://eeepc.asus.com/en/guide.htm Now got thread for prelaunch at RM1299 which is half the price of my Dopod 818Pro when i bought it, me very interested in getting one as it is small and screen much bigger then my PDA and great for travelling. Can also use it to watch movie in the car. The storage may be limited but i got a spare external USB HDD lying around collecting dust. Since it got no IrDA and BT, can it be connected to handphone to surf internet via GPRS/3G at places that got no wifi? |

k0k_w31,
1) What time your shop close on Friday? If i have sent you the form before 16th November, is the unit reserved until your closing time? 2) Lazy to download and use Paint to fill in form. Can you fax the form to me tomorrow when i get to the office? 3) Also there was a question in respect to CC purchase which you didn't answer. Is there any surcharge? |

QUOTE(Balok @ Nov 11 2007, 07:35 PM) i heard from the In-Ta-Net said that the warranty is void if we upgrade the ram but there is a way to upgrade it without void the warranty. How is it? ok, regarding about the RAM upgrade to 1GB,Im very concern about this issue too, since i will buy one also. I've talk to Asustek people about this. may be we got to go to Asus Royal Club there for the proper RAM upgrade. hope they will approve and let us upgrade the Ram to 1GB in reasonable price. Will update you guys once i got any news from them. |

QUOTE(Balok @ Nov 11 2007, 09:14 PM) say k0k_w31, lol, ok.have u try this machine oredi? what do you think if u oredi try it? Well honestly, when the time i first knewing this machine, i was in love it with. Because it suit my usage. I did try it already last friday, it was small and cute. Hmm...performance wise still consider fast if you using in linux software. but i didnt try windows, Asus people not allowed me to format it to windows XP. and by the way, it came from taiwan for marketing testing, so it will return back to taiwan later. is looks great, pearl white body and small, but we can feel the body is very solid when we hold it using one hand. not like those expensive notebook u feel like worry it will crack the screen when u holding it tight. Design for kids ma, somemore durable and shock proof design. haha and when u hold it, u can feel the solidness. so whenever you go, jz bring and use. like going to starbuck or any cafe with Wifi services. People like me will only using this thing for msn and suft the net and also online banking. it comes with 4GB flash drive, come on, what else u expect in this price which is RM1299?? U buying a hightech handphone is more than that. jz imagine, u getting a mini notebook at RM1299, how cheap it is??? The screen size is 800 by 480 pixels. so for guys n gals like me who always put on our own personalise wallpaper have to touch up a bit (i mean edit the size) the webcam is 300k pixels, but still looks good, not those blur like cant see ur eyes at all, haha. as u gus know la, we cant compare with those big notebook which comes with 1.3 or 3 megapixels one. especially the performance... then the battery is 4 cells 5200 mAh, can last till 3.5 hours. Enough ade. the last thing is, I believe in their Quality and services, thats y i will own one unit for my daily use too, haha. Hope you guys can get it and satisfy with it usage. Cheers...

QUOTE(Balok @ Nov 11 2007, 09:42 PM) So when you might expect to sell the 8GB model? this one im not sure,because the 8GB price i guess will almost the same with the cheapest range of bigger notebook which selling at RM1799, They jz told me the 8GB Flash disk cost a lot, using the external hard drive better. so at this moment havent heard any news from Asustek for the upcoming model, somemore if the pre-sale sold all of it, then PC fair may be no Eee Pc also. Althought the 4GB version will have the pre-sale on 16th november. I guess it might take so long time to wait another batch coming, due to the whole world shortage of Asus Eee Pc... |

I can understand the hesitation and wariness of dealing with Linux, but you guys should give it a chance. Take up the challenge of learning something with this.
Either way, slip in an 8Gb SDHC card and you will have more storage space than you ever need. I guess this is up to the individual, but I'm willing to give Xandros a chance. I also have the option to go the WinXP route if I need to, with that 8Gb SDHC card i have handy. The reason i see here why most will say that they dont have enough space is that they treat this like a typical notebook, when the EeePC is anything but typical! Like what Kazasho have described, all the basic needs like IM, media players and going online are already being taken care of with the preinstalled applications. If you are using this laptop for anything more than those activities, you are making the wrong decision buying this laptop, you would be better off getting an actual laptop than this. You should read the philosophy and the reason why Asus came up with this. Do not treat this like a typical laptop or you will be sorely disappointed. |

Treat it like a device with specific function in mind.
Like a coffee espresso machine. You are guaranteed great coffee with it, as long as you read the instructions right and follow them. You can also mod it to make tea for you, but there are no guarantees that your tea will come out tasting nice. Same case here. The EeePC is geared towards doing specific functions excellently, but nobody can tell you that you can't install other applications to do other things on it. It is just that the experience using it with this application will not necessarily be a pleasant experience. The trouble with Malaysians are that they are taking the Pengguna Bijak campaign to the ridiculous end, wanting cheap prices but also demanding the best of specs. Use it as it is intended and you are guaranteed an enjoyable experience, just dont come back here whining about buying this EeePC and complain that it couldn't run your preferred apps. You already made an erroneous decision buying this if you already have that in mind. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Nov 12 2007, 04:28 PM |

Yes, String is right. So everyone please do check out the system first before buying it cause you're not exactly buying what the masses call a standard notebook for RM1299.
Anyway I guess I'll see you there on Friday String, hopefully I can slip out of work to secure my unit. And Kok Wei still hasn't confirmed receipt of my fax after I have send it to him twice, 5 days ago, and right just now. if i had a scanner on me right now I'd just scan and email him the darn forms! |

QUOTE(marauderz @ Nov 12 2007, 04:33 PM) Yes, String is right. So everyone please do check out the system first before buying it cause you're not exactly buying what the masses call a standard notebook for RM1299. Hi, im back!!!Anyway I guess I'll see you there on Friday String, hopefully I can slip out of work to secure my unit. And Kok Wei still hasn't confirmed receipt of my fax after I have send it to him twice, 5 days ago, and right just now. if i had a scanner on me right now I'd just scan and email him the darn forms! No worries, jz came back from lowyat plaza, hehehe Sorry for the late reply, Yup! I've received ur Fax ade. U r in my list ade |

I think he's keeping tab of it somewhere else, in his own list somewhere.
Any USB external drive should work. Im planning to use this with the Xbox 360 HD-DVD external drive for optical disc installations. Added on November 12, 2007, 6:35 pmDont think it would matter on who faxes the form first, it would be the case of who gets to their premise first on this 16th. As long as I get one unit and it works fine, it doenst really matter to me if im first or last. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Nov 12 2007, 06:35 PM |

somewhere on the net you can see that 4GB releases now, then 8GB next month.. so if you really prefer the 8gb, then do wait for it.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but:-
 The 1001 model is a reality, but the pricepoint may be encroaching into the those of a full-fledged laptop, that it may not be viable for sale after all. Im interested to get back into the last 10inch experience i've lost since the Fujitsu P series, but it would be pipe dream to think the price wont be going beyond RM2000. I'll stick with the 4Gb version. Storage solved by the 8Gb SDHC i already have from my Xacti HD camcorder, RAM is easily solvable as well by standard RAM sticks too. First thing to do when i got this is to create a restore image of the Linux OS on a spare 1Gb SD card i have lying around. From the folks at EEEUser forum, the restore image filesize is only around 910Mb. |

Common sense. Will a 10 inch EeePC still reside in the economically affordable scale of point or will it be just another 10incher? This line of reasoning is what compelled me into getting the present 4Gb version. Getting the 8Gb version will mean jacked up price from the present RM1299 to a price up to and including RM2000. While im not short of cash or anything at the moment, i could financially cope with the 8Gb , hell, even the 10incher. But if you do it by Asus's philosophy, which includes affordablity in this case, all these criterias come to mind.
In short, buy only what you need, not what you want. I've already a Macbook, and going 10incher for this defeats the purpose of me getting the EeePC for portability. I've lived with the 4.5inch screen size of Vaio UX all this while, so getting the EeePC is an upgrade in screen real estate for me. The processor speed is a downgrade for me,when you consider it clockspeed-by-clockspeed, but im running the EeePC on a different platform altogether, on a different OS where clockspeed may not necessarily means much. It all comes to what you intend to do wit this little marvel. If you're using it as your primary notebook, then you will be in trouble, and most definitely be disappointed. Going 10incher to the EeePC 1001 is a waste for me since this means sacrificing its key advantage in portability. The next reason why im inclined to accept the diminutive aspects of the EeePC, both specs and sizewise, is that i treat it as what it is intended, and nothing more. In fact, im excited about going back into dabbling with Linux, and not back to the bloatware (however trimmed down it would be) that is Windows. I want this thing to instant ON (XP? Good luck on that!), fast boot up, snappy response, and do what it was advertised to do without any side effects. Asus may say it is also compatible to run with WinXP, but not mentioning how pleasant it would be. Life is about challenges, and going for the familiar = routine and boring to me. To each his or her own i guess, but going about at how good the responses were by users on the preinstalled Xandros, i cant wait to experience this myself. Maybe when im really really bored, and want to submit myself to self-flaggelation and torture, i would consider going into the mess that is WinXP, but until then, im running this baby AS IT IS INTENDED. |

well, i think the other way. it could be Asus marketing idea to create a new market in mobile computing. Using EEEPC as the starting point, create a few segments eg: low, medium, high end... market of EEEPC.
for a bit high end segments eg: 8G 10", it can potentially grap the market of other branded ultraportable notebook, especially for business/sales/corporate execs. low end models for new comers. medium end models for light users/students. when think of this, we can imagine what is the purpose of Asus creates the 8G 10". |

I would understand if you dont have any laptops right now and wants the best speced EeePC you can get. But a lot of those getting the EeePC are getting this as an option to carry around than their regular laptop. That way, if you get the highest speced, their present laptops are more or less redundant. for a bit high end segments eg: 8G 10", it can potentially grap the market of other branded ultraportable notebook, especially for business/sales/corporate execs. low end models for new comers. medium end models for light users/students. when think of this, we can imagine what is the purpose of Asus creates the 8G 10". |

I see a lot of people are still thinking of the eeePC as a regular notebok for everyday use, it is NOT! If you buy one with that kind of thougt, you're going to be very disappointed!

i for one think it as the cheapest sub notebook that you can buy in the market now to do normal day-to-day jobs - document writing, net surfing, occasional songs/video, maybe some light programming.
its light enough for me to bring to class and use it without me having the need of needing huge tables or something like that. for me, even with XP,. 4GBs is enough for what i intend it to do - Memory cards/thumb drive are cheaper per GBs these days, so its not hard to have stuff to go. question - for those who has it - mind putting up a picture of the power brick? i heard its small, but i need to see it then i can belive |

Yes, i wan to make it fair to everybody.
Ok, like let say the person who fill up the form but never turn up, he/she will be replace by the one behind, then need to re-queue from behind. So u guy must come here early and take the number from me (this is special privilege for those submit the form ealy) then will make sure u can get the eee on that day. But do not forget that u have submitted the form early doesnt mean u can come here late ya. if you cannot come, please ask someone who can be ur volunteer. then the Pre-sale started at 1pm, so make sure u all will be in my store, this is the most important timing to get the Eee. But im understand Malay customer got sembayang right? Can u all list down ur name so that when u all come here i can arrange for u guys? 1) Balok. 2) Added on November 15, 2007, 5:56 pm QUOTE(ronnie @ Nov 15 2007, 05:28 PM) This very good rule... one person with one form can only buy one unit of EeePC. if the response is overwhelming,Very fair to the rest of the people.

For Seaotter,
Still dont believe me, although i posted the pic of the power charger in my previous post? Here it is again, with my iPhone.  Meet the rest of the family!Little brother (Asus EeePC), just met little sister(Macbook), both dressed in white. Little baby Nokia 770 sits in its crib watched by the BT keyboard and BT mouse. Their little pets (iPhone and iPod Touch) skimps about merrily, while BigMama (Toshiba Qosmio G40) watches the household making sure they behave themselves.

Lokgotz,
I should think that if they refuse to reimburse you with a brand new one, instead of a molested one you have, then you can throw tantrum here. Try talking to them nicely, and explain to them rationally. As far as i can remember, MTCS (Mike in particular) is very very reasonable when it comes to returns and replacements during early purchases period. Rather than throwing a tantrum here, i suggest you head back there and explain to them calmly. The bunch i see there are not known to me, but i know the old MTCS staffs there, and they are very reasonable. I know it is very disheartening and disappointing to see your unit molested before you did it, but there may be some confusion, when they might grabbed the wrong stock (display unit, instead of brand new ones) and mistakenly sell it to you. I've been MTCS customers for a while back, since their early single-store-in-Imbi/Lowyat days, and even though the younger staff may seem obnoxious and ignorant, the vets there are quite accomodating and friendly. I try not to think bad of vendors until i hear both sides of the story. If i could prove them wrong but in nice calm manner, they themselves malu and will remember my case in any future dealings i have with them. In the end, both sides win. Calm down, and i suggest you head back there and demand, calmly though, for their explanation. If you need to, you can pass me your name/receipt number and i can forward your case to Mike if needed to. You need to hurry though, im due for Adelaide tonight.

Yes I admit that this is only one side of my story and I am waiting for Kok Wei for an explanation here (He was online when I posted my previous message). I don't mind having this unit but at least let me know that it is a used unit or let me check the contents before signing the form. When I was there, there were less than 5 people in the line and I don't think switiching the EEE PC on and test on it's Wi-Fi would delay the whole thing. Anyway, I am in the process of restoring it to factory configuration, which means that I do not have anymore proof. I'll let this go and if I offended anyone here, my sincere appologies. I was red headed and I am calm now. P.S. Kok Wei, I hope I get an explanation from you in this thread/PM. Thanks.

k0k_w31: thanks bro for your excellent and friendly service. Posting now using the Eee
Came back and wife already on the unit for an hour. It was hot! Its now on my notebook cooler. Just connected it to my home wi-fi without any problems. Must say that i am happy with the screen. Connect to external mouse and on the spot it works. Good thing its not pure white like in the ad. However the keyboard is small and not suitable for typing long documents. And mine is new P.S. my wife said you nice guy. |

I hope Kok Wei comes in here with the explanation. This will soothe temper, calm misunderstandings and allay fears of them of possibly screwing their user demographics just because it is a hot selling item. Im not worried though, from my experience, MTCS always had been good to me.
Gotta pack up for work! Oh , all those previous post after the pics? Posted on the EeePc of course! |

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Nov 16 2007, 05:38 PM) k0k_w31: thanks bro for your excellent and friendly service. Posting now using the Eee Came back and wife already on the unit for an hour. It was hot! Its now on my notebook cooler. Just connected it to my home wi-fi without any problems. Must say that i am happy with the screen. Connect to external mouse and on the spot it works. Good thing its not pure white like in the ad. However the keyboard is small and not suitable for typing long documents. And mine is new P.S. my wife said you nice guy. Feel so great after hearing u all very satisfy with ur Eee PC, But yea, its abit hot if compare with others Notebook, may be the fan is too small. anyway, anyone of you try to install other device which has no drivers like printers, scanners or camera? This might be the next issue for the customers.. |
