Evernew selling EEE PC 1000(H) at RM2,099 at PC Fair!!!
They jacked up the RM1,999 price from Asus.

They give you a free backpack and convert your warranty to on-site warranty, which I don't need anyway....

Very bad from Evernew....jacking up the price even though they are the authorized distributor for Asus product.
Notebook Studio in Lowyat is selling RM1,999 but they ran out of stock..

1000h price really so expensive compare to wind..anyone know why and what the different btw this 2 spec?
I rather go Lowyat to buy !! nod.gif

People may want the 1000H because it has more storage capacity, larger keyboard and a more comfortable display while people may want the 901 because of the very compact form factor. The 1000H isn't a lot larger than the 901 actually but the ergonomics is a lot better. Although the screen is larger by an inch the resolution stays the same. So you only get larger fonts and icons. I am comfortable with 901's screen size though so it all depends on your expectations.

For me the only reason why I should get the 1000H is the storage capacity.

Yes same as 901. The same glossy surfaces on the top surfaces (display outer shell and keyboard area). The bottom LCD casing and bottom chassis is a very light matte surface which is great for slightly rough terrain. Overall, it gives you a hint of quality and nice finishing. My advice is to get the white color because it hides finger prints and grease extremely well. You won't see a thing unless you scrutinize every inch of the surface diligently. It is also not noticeable with scratches.

The only thing we don't know yet is discoloration. I am extremely worried about the keyboard which may suffer yellowish coloration after long term use or exposure to light and UV rays. Also, the 6-cell battery's color tone and finishing is slightly different from the rest of the 901 (white). The color is slightly off white which kinda spoils the overall look.

i also noticed if white colour, the keyboard look a bit low quality like will easily get yellowish...
Black colour will be more attractive due to its glossy ! shocking.gif

Today, one dealer in Digital Mall PJ wanted to sell the 1000H to me for 1699.

Is this really cheap?

The spec is the usual 1000H spec. I was suspicious and I left

that is what your friend tells you. Its like the retailer showing us a printed paper telling us that it is his cost and he is only making RM20. When I bought my Nokia N95 for RM2800, the retailer showed me a printed paper showing me he only earns RM20.

yeah right.

Bought a plasma and surprisingly, retailer can discount RM2000.

Added on August 10, 2008, 10:12 pmFor those who owned 1000H, may i know it comes with 1gb ram or 2gb ram???

They are shipping out 904/5 models in 2 weeks time, with bigger keyboard .

maybe to yr advantage. Price of 901 may drop then.


Added on August 12, 2008, 6:05 pm

I thought you need to press fn and F1 ( sleep )  key together ( if you set the power in the screen saver properly ). Do not need to go out of the windows.

But i cant wait to hold this baby with me! cry.gif I not dare to do the booking as i not yet see the real thing! and cant choose btw colour and model (901 or 1000H)! tongue.gif

If the price drop, my place here also wont drop so fast! cos less ppl got stock mah then they will take advantage lor.. wub.gif
