can buy next year or next next year when it is more affordable. After all , it is better to buy after the warranty period is over.

I believe in recycling ! I buy older gadgets at half the prices ( LCD, MODEMS , PDA AND HIFI ).

Although there is something called inflation, my money sometimes fetch a higher value .

No Lah, people selling modems for rm 40 each ( i bought 2 ) , just buy and keep. After all ,Chinese say if you do not buy, also eat and spend elsewhere.

Taiwan/China Asus website got NOD32 anti virus for downloading but the licence is for limited time only. It is a big favourite with netbook users. I personally use Avast 4.8.

A month ago, i downloaded from Asus website , and it said can be used up to end of this year when i click about NOD 32. You know only when you install it.

Then i decide to uninstall it.

This is a pretty outdated poster printed for PC fair. By now, 901 is no more available in Malaysia. The prices also printed wrongly for 900 and 901. RM 1749 meant for 901 model.

I had a copy of this before buying the 900, then changed to 1000H.

Whether you need one more year extended warranty at rm 58.00 ?

Not every shop would provide this.

It is your own choice. upgrade or swapping to 2gb ram seems to be a must for most users. There is only one slot , so has to decide on the spot. Some may allow you to come back and swap the ram, but then may not be at a bargain anymore.

Why there are so many Asus models ? i think the best people to answer your question would be Asus' management themselves.

Frankly speaking, from my point of view., Asus could lose quite many sales when they stopped the 901 model in Malaysia, and replaced with 900A or H and 904 ( users also losing tracks of the latests ).

Most people look for 6 cells battery and atom processor together, before buying the EEE PCs. same things could be happening in Amazon ( see their best sellers ). Those are not looking for these, then Acer could be cheaper and preferred. And then 901 is making a coming back ( do not know when also ).

Asus could have misunderstood the consumers ( of what they want ). Competitors are taking advantages of it.

Correct me if I am wrong.

maybe a free shopping bag to put the free mouse.

Actually. i got free lock, mouse, earphone, cleaner and usb 4 ports during the PC fair, all in a Asus box.

904HD could be a rebranding of 900, still using Celeron.

I see most competitors are using atom processors.

If you are happy with it, then it is ok with us , afterall it is your choice and money , not ours. We sound out , and is for those may not be aware of. or new to EEE PC.

Celeron is said to produce more heat and drains battery fast, speed wise could be the same. I had a 900 before and was unhappy with it not bcos of the speed, battery lasted less than 2 hours. I lost about 10% of battery power the moment i boot my 900. Less than 10 minutes, it dropped to 80%.

But just in case you need to upgrade by selling it off later , then it could be pretty tough to do so.

Just like a HiFi, not necessary have to be expensive, those popular UK brands tend to be easy to sell off if you have taken care of.

Not saying atom is superior to celeron, just only a preferred choice.

The final decision will still be yours. Buy according to your taste.

Nice baby.

I feel it is for the EEC markets with high currency, Euro 599 ( RM 2700 ).

Chances that it may not come to our shore ( if 901 is making a come back )

Correct me if I am wrong.

Not so fast lah, dual.. Atom chips are in short supply to the demands in netbooks. maybe next year lah.

Mind to share ?

What is your special reason for choosing Avira Anti Virus ?

Mind to share ?

Ya, I am using Avast now for my home PCs.

So far so good. But do no know how the recovery works ?

Mind to share ?

Standard lah. 80gb 6600mah. Out of stock.

160gb is 5600 mah, unless you are lucky, then 6600mah.

How to install back with an image file ? never try before.
