By golly... Now hands itchy ady. Damn...

hmmmm... sure beats the Hp tx series. I wonder if u can get d linux version n install Windows on it?

lol... yeah, really bz rite now. It'll make a nice christmas gift to myself. Hahaha... Just a lil worried bout d performance. N also d compatibility to my Dopod 900.

WOW! Tempting!! But then, I think I'll wait for the XP version. I think there's too many limitations to using a proprietary OS

Can we install programs on it? Sorry, I'm a real noob when it comes to linux

umm... some multimedia apps for cutting and joining media files, photoshop equivalents, Outlook equivalents... stuff like that.

OMG, I'M SO JEALOUS OF U KAZASHO! Can u pm me which shop n how much u bought it for?

Can an external optical drive be connected to this device?

That's good news! I have been thinking of getting a ultra portable laptop for some time now. I think I've found an answer.

Y dun u take a pic with one of ur hands on d keyboard so we can get a feel of the size.

Brilliant! Thanks Kazasho!

Hmmm... now I need to wait for the 8GB model to come and also install XP on it.

yeah man! Now my 15.4" is a real pain to carry around - especially with all my kah chang in d backpack as well. Heh... doc say if cont liddat, my shoulders will become lopsided.

I see whether my gf also wanna get one or not.

Full specs

802.11b/g wireless LAN

3 USB 2.0 ports

MMC/SD/MS card reader

2/4/8 GB flash memory

Memory
256MB/512MB/1GB DDR2-400 RAM

Display
7 in TFT LCD with LED backlight @ 800×480; although the unit is slightly larger than the screen to accommodate the speakers

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...

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!

If u open d back, u got a DDR2 RAM slot. U can try dumping 2GB in n see. It SHOULD work. Haha!

errr.... well, that's a possibility. U know la nowadays kids all canggih wan; got handphone and all. Might as well throw in a sub-laptop to boot.

Xmas present? HMmm...

Asus Eee Sub-laptop - RM1500
gf happiness level - unknown

Estee Lauder perfume - RM500
gf happiness level - CONFIRMED at least 9/10

lol! Well, I poor maa... that's y when got deal like this, straight away orgasm. But still got lotsa issues not over lerr... haihh... have to go plan gao gao...

hehehe... that one I think u go for Vaio TX/TZ series better.

hahahaha... still alive and kicking... Wahseh... don't tell me that u've been here all night?!?! No sleep?!

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.
