if u got headache, get the 1000H it solves all ur headaches =D

get the 1000H and get used to the weight
the extra sized keyboard and the bigger screen definately will help u do more work

Have you sold laptops before?

Cause i did before, and yes, their margins are something as low as RM50 for the really low end ones, while for higher ends like sony perhpas up to RM200.

And the reason why their price and suddenly drop alot, is because the distributors set the prices. Rarely retailers keep huge stock of notebooks, rather the distributors are the one with lots of stock. So to receive new models from overseas, they'll push the old stocks by dropping the price of the notebook. Of course the prices for retailers will also drop accordingly.

So the culprits are definately distributors and not retailers. Its pretty well known that the computer parts, notebooks and most gadgetries retailing are surviving on razor thin margins. Its the peripherals and add ons for most gadgets that usually have huge margins. Most leather pouches or the like are retailing for 50-80% margin.

my 1000h using team elite, but the one that comes with it is adata

haha no la they company which i've bought the notebook from upgraded to 2Gb for me using the team elite. they took back my adata 1gb

My 1000H OC endevours and its 3DMark03 scores :

Windows XP SuperP AC - 811

Windows Vista SuperP AC - 795 / 695 / 731
Windows Vista 1.6Ghz AC - 668
Windows Vista 1.7Ghz AC - 740
Windows Vista 1.9Ghz AC - 811
Windows Vista 2.0Ghz AC - 840 / 868

Windows Vista SuperP Bat - 689
Windows Vista 1.9Ghz Bat - 808
Windows vista 2.0Ghz Bat - 863

AC means connected to adaptor, Bat means running on batteries.
SuperP means using the Super Hybrid Engine program, while the 1.9Ghz etc is using the respective maximum speed set using eeectl.

Also, the slashes indicated various runs. The SHE gives varied results compared to the eeectl.


edit : some people on eeeuser.net managed to get theirs running up to 2.3Ghz but those are very rare. The more common one is 2.0Ghz. Mine cant go more than 2.0Ghz. Oh, people that hit 2.2-2.3Ghz can get scores up to 1000 for 3DMark03

Its like this :

Old 1000h :

- 80GB
- 6600mah normal size
- RM1999 3-4weeks ago

New 1000h

- 160gb
- 5600mah
- RM1999 current

So guess that they increased the hdd size but reduced the batteries

Some people want to use this laptop to watch movie so maybe they want to keep all their collections on it

Or for photographers who want light picture editting on the spot for their raw shots which takes up alot of space

Having extra HDD space never hurts .

external HDD beats the whole point of mobility
what is the point of paying so much to get a ultra small netbook and get get bogged down by a large HDD?

storage size to price ratio of SD is very very low compared to that of HDD. if you want to get SDs to add your space, might as well spend on hdd you get more space for the money spent

for example, i travel out of the house 7 hours per day, and i use my eee pc about 2-3 hours
with a large HDD, i can chuck my whole series collection and slowly watch whenever i feel like it without needing to constantly remove and add into it like i have to do with my old PDA

why should i spend so much on a mobile netbook when i need to be bogged down by either an external hdd, or an adaptor, when i can just bring the netbook if i have a large HDD and a large battery? =D

yup, but for us, its better to get larger battery than size because HDD can be upgraded very cheaply compared to batteries
so i guess i wont be that upset that i bought my old 1000h earlier =.=

Using Vista and lovin it

yup running it quite smoothly
2GB ram yes

played dota on it but its pretty laggy and screen abit small
but when i OC it to 2.0ghz its much better, but still small screen means need to scroll alot even in battles

no problem running it


go to www.eeeuser.net and go to their forums
read their articles on eeectl which is the software used for overclocking =D

But the drawbacks for bluetooth is that you need to leave the bluetooth on which uses alot of battery. Both choices has its pros and cons

office 2007 definately can work in xp pro
been using it

yeah i agree the 1000h sound quality isnt bad at all for a netbook =D

I used the normal IDE > USB convertor usually used for harddisk. Used it with my DVDROM, and installed from it. Pretty good

Another way u can do is to install it from your thumbdrive. For normal programs you can just install, but for Windows, there is a special preparation method to follow before it can work.
