QUOTE(Itori @ Jun 4 2008, 02:59 AM) the EEE logo is because of the branding... They want to make EEE like how Nestle brands Maggi... I prefer the Asus logo anytime over EEE. Maggi didn't give a negative connotation for eg. but in our culture, EEE gives out a yucky impression, like "eee...yucks". but still... The Eee logo sucks... I like the asus logo better... I hope that Eee 900 drops its price... But if Eee 901 is below the RM2k range, I might consider to buy it... Damn them, why suddely release all the good stuffs out? Is it because everyone in joining in the 'Netbook' market now? Sheesh... 701 soon below RM1k... Hmm... tempting. This may be a good start for 3rd world countries to adopt technology... Since OLPC phailed to gain the popularity...  And for me, having all the good stuff coming out around the same time is a good thing. More competitors=better price and better stuff. So I can have more choices!  QUOTE(ar188 @ Jun 4 2008, 12:25 PM) yup EEE name sucks.. sounds like = "Eeee yer.." yucky Ditto. My point exactly.  |

QUOTE(estara @ Jun 4 2008, 02:49 PM) I prefer the Asus logo anytime over EEE. Maggi didn't give a negative connotation for eg. but in our culture, EEE gives out a yucky impression, like "eee...yucks". Same as me. I wonder why don't they just stick with the Asus logo over it and move on. Carrying the name won't be hard right? but instead of putting a mark on the laptop with Eee.... And for me, having all the good stuff coming out around the same time is a good thing. More competitors=better price and better stuff. So I can have more choices! Later when carrying that computer around... Ppl think I like to stick fancy hello kitty stickers on my It's like killing your own product in a sense that they produce 900 out and told the public and selling it at a price of Rm1900, Then when the new ones came out, 901 is estimated to be sold at Rm1900 also. Eventhough that the 900 will still have a price drop. But the best thing is, having 701 at estimated price drop to RM900 is very interesting to low income earners who wants to learn about technology. They sell big with 701... But with the emerging market now of portables, I am wondering how far does Asus carry on the Eee. Probably getting the EEE 900 soon if the price is below Rm1500. I not so interested with the 901 with new logo and the thickness of it.

I don't think that will every happen... sienz... Petrol naik lagi... Elektrik naik lagi...then, when is the olpc era? haha QUOTE(ar188 @ Jun 4 2008, 12:25 PM) yup EEE name sucks.. sounds like = "Eeee yer.." yucky Let's think of better names for EEE... AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD... Alamak... it feels like I'm grading my student's exam papers all over again... siao... This post has been edited by Itori: Jun 7 2008, 05:50 AM |

You'll probably able to get cheap ones from the leftovers of some shops.. |
