I have been try go to PIKOM PC FAIR today 7/12/07, but cant get it. Then in a very lucky time my friend suddenly call me he left only 1 unit, icon_rolleyes.gif But The price is: RM 1499 sweat.gif sweat.gif . But as i feel this price is ok loh, Because i really like it so much. So let`s start to my review here, wink.gif wink.gif

Product Design and Ergonomics
The Eee PC is a UMPC that is designed with three basic product positioning statements in mind - Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play.

The casing of the Eee PC is built of a fairly rugged plastic composite. i tested a unit built with a pearl white finish that looks great and gives the unit a very "clean presentation and feel".

The Screen and Keyboard
i`m sure you're all wondering about is, "How does the user interface, screen and keyboard hold up to every day use?" While this definitely is a very subjective area, i only can say that most folks interested in a machine like this will be happy with the Eee PC's operation, look and feel.

For starters, the keyboard - In all honestly, it took a bit of ramp up time to get used to the proximity of the keys and things felt pretty cramped in general, especially while using the touch pad and then going back to the keyboard to type. i recommend a USB mouse if you have one nearby as they're automatically detected and installed very easily by the OS. Regardless, after a few hours of learning curve, things started to feel a bit more natural using the Eee PC for every day tasks. However, don't expect the machine to feel like a full-sized notebook. Because It's an ultra-mobile PC, hence trade-offs in available keyboard real estate have to be made. That said, for this type of product the Eee PC actually excels comparatively, offering a near standard sized keyboard in a not-so standard available space.

The 7" LCD screen on the Eee PC generates good contrast and color but is a bit short on brightness with minimal backlighting. This again is an obvious trade-off due to power budget constraints. However, for normal indoor use, the display does its job nicely. It's only in bright outdoor environments, that challenge even most standard notebook panels, that you'll see some washout. The Eee PC's display does have a decent viewing angle as well.

Here is my some review, hope it can give all of you a little bit information about this Asus eeepc, Thanks for Reading. sweat.gif sweat.gif
