Hi,

I'm very interested in obtaining the 8G model when it comes to Malaysia.

Product Page:

I think this will make an amazing mobile companion for a lot of us. Anyone from Asus Malaysia care to commment on when this will be available here and how much?

Thanks.

Am hoping they'll launch it here soon with the 8GB SSD model, that would be one sweet machine.

Wow! that's cheap considering the portability

Something to share. This is regarding the 4GB Onboard SSD for the EEEPC900.

I did a Virtual PC Setup of 1GB RAM, 4GB Primary & 8GB Secondary Drive, mimicking the constraints you will face on a EEE PC 900 XP.

After turning on NTFS compression disabling page file and moving System Temp Directories, Temp Internet Files & Documents to D:, I was able to install the full versions of the following:

1) Windows XP Professional SP3 (Build 5512) Full Install & Updated
2) Internet Explorer 7
3) Media Player 11
4) Windows Defender
5) Microsoft Outlook 2007 SP1
6) Corel Wordperfect Suite X4 (Office 2007 Compatible) - minus the Corel Mail
7) CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4
8) Mozilla Firefox V2.0.14
9) WinRAR V3.71
10) K-Lite CODEC Pack
11) Filezilla FTP Client
12) USB Safely Remove
13) Skype
14) Skype Recorder
15) Trillian Basic Multi-IM
16) Tweaknow Registry Cleaner Professional
17) AVAST Anti Virus Home
18) Your Uninstaller Pro 2008
19) Ultra ISO
20) Transoft MultiTranse
21) Allok Video Joiner
22) Text Aloud w/Chinese Voice
23) PaintDOTNet
24) Xobni Insight PlugIn For Outlook 2007
25) Nokia PC Suite

All the above are full versions installed in the 4GB drive with NTFS COMPRESSION Turned ON. Other than games, the above should keep any road warrior pretty happy and productive, and has proven to myself that I don't need to live with the anemic Via C7 processor and can safely take the plunge into the EEEPC 900.
