Asus has this practice of giving diff battery capacities for diff shipments.

So your luck counts.

If I am not mistaken, it is still 6-cell but the rated total output is lower only. Sometimes these ratings are very confusing. For example 5600mAH does not mean it will output 5600mA in 1 hour. It could be 560mA in 10 hours or some other resultants. But anyway you should check your operating time. Most 901s can withstand 5+ hours of non-stop operation. 1000H should be somewhere there too. If you're getting 4 hours, you should go back to ASUS and complain since this can be a case of misrepresentation liao.

sup guys !!! i finally took the plunge and bought a 1000H already ... wooot wooot ... took me 1 and half hours to find the 80gb one cause everyone is sold out .... i was walking around one of the alley when i asked this dude if he is selling the 1000h .... he said got .... its infront ... then i said i dont want this one ..... i want 80gb one ... he said wait ... he go behind and took out 1 final black 1000H ... so i checked if its ok then all systems go !!!! woooot so happy =)

Welcome to the 1000H club.

I guess 1000H 80gb is a better buy, a hundred RM cheaper than we first bought it.

You should be having 6600 mah battery, right ?

i'm too trying to hunt for a 1000H 80gb black ... but have no luck ever since

Wonder why ASUS's netbook life expectancy is so short. Sell for awhile change model number and even sold out. The parts all so short in demand meh?

yea =) I am having the one with 6600 mah =) .... so happy to be able to find it ... evernew, all it, thunder match all confirm dont already .... btw guys i saw the S10 pink color for sale for RM1749 at Thunder Match...

to people who are still looking for the 80gb 1000h ... do try the back lane in low yat ... as in not the main shops ... they might carry old stock ... either that or find from digital mall ...

all the best =)

so, based on u guys' recent eepc hunt at lowyat, what series still available for sale there?
904 available or not?

if you mean 904HD then yes .... its RM1399 =)

how about 901?
and is there any 1000? [not the h/hd coz i want the ssd]
if so, how much for each of these two?

i dont think you can find the 901 already in the market ... its been discontinued .... not sure if there is 1000 wit the SSD... have to wait for other pros to comment on this

A new version of 901 is coming but do not know when.

If comes with 3.75g modem. It is a ssd i think 16 gb,not too sure.

The spec could change too.

Another development on the horizon :-

Toshiba Corporation today announced enhancements to its line-up of NAND-flash-based solid state drives (SSD) with the addition of an industry-leading 256-gigabyte (GB) SSD and the launch of a series of small-sized Flash Modules for netbook computers ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) and other mobile and peripheral applications. The new drives will be showcased at the CEATEC in Makuhari, Japan, from September 30 to October 4.

I got the white one from http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/768938 (not sure have black or not)

I also think the 80Gb is best value for money now (cheaper + larger battery).

Can the 901 xp be backup and the linux be installed instead? If so how? Has anyone done it?

Im new to this community, and recently i just got myself the 1000H with kingston 2GB ram upgrade. Although the 160gb version have trade off its higher capacity 6600mAH lithium-ion, but the 5600mAH lithium-polymer battery is a warm welcome (better charge cycles + lighter). 4-5 hrs should not be much prob if proper settings are applied, In terms of the looks of the newer battery, i think is acceptable. But at stock without window update i notice graphic slow down in terms of video playback. So take note on this issue. Currently working on my project to make it a portable gaming machine (not graphic intensive one please), hehe^_^ so far, super nintendo, capcom arcade emulators are working pretty well, except for PS one games, i so used to OpenGL when using Epsxe to play wif GT2 or Capcom vs SNK in desktop PC, real slow down when using OpenGL here.But seems that in this machine u need to use D3D plugin to optimize speed and visual. And beware of display sets if anyone still in search of 1000H 80gb version. A Happy User for 1000H 160GB.

on your way to it, try dota please. XD
i dont really mind the graphic quality, used to set all settings low [even the sounds]

is there any chance that i can upgrade a 1000h harddisk to one of the 256gb ssd?

256gb ssd?? sure very expensive!

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.

nono..when the price is more afordable, can upgrade the whole netbook rather than only change to ssd...

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 .
