Hi,

Wonder how much is the Touch Screen Upgrade for this 901 or is there any 3rd party available.

Hmm... I am enjoying and yup the battery is close to 5 hours with screen on and running windows media player 11.

Are you running on the stock battery?
What's its capacity?

Hi all,

I think this would be good news  rclxms.gif  for those who wanted to get EEE PC 900 at a good price plus something extra

I came across Asus EEE PC 900 with 30GB SSD (not the normal 12GB or 20GB) on sale at lelong.com for RM1599 ... follow this link.

The lelong.com listing also have a link to the actual online shopping website that sells laptops.  Here is the direct link

  doh.gif  sadly I am out of budget for this....  some of you out there might benefit from this information.  Grab the bargain while stock last!  thumbup.gif

Hi,

I have been busy playing with the 901 now with 2GB, it is just awesome.

Reinstall with

TinyXP09 with Drivers SP3 (No Swap Files)
MS Office 2003 Custome Install
Messenger Live 8.0
IE 7.0
Windows Media 11
ffdshow Codec
Real Alternative
Quick Alternative
Adobe Reader 8
ACDSee 8
FlashXP (Geat FTP)
Firefox 3.0
Google Earth
Garmin MapSource with MalSingMaps
Garmin NRoute (I pair with my Garmin and I can route)
Sonic PDF Maker (A low cost PDF maker)
Able2Extract 5.0 (Convert PDF to Word / Excel)
RAM Drive (128MB Drive R for Temp Files)

C: Drive free space = 1.48GB
D: Drive nothing install just a bunch of video and mp3

Now all 901 users should go to http://www.elantech.com.tw/download.aspx to download their verison of touch pad. The multi touch drives install by Asus installer does not have as much feature as the manufacturer version. I guess Asus does not want to be sued by Apple with their zoom feature when you split your fingers. Or use 3 fingers and move up to open up my computer. The multi touch is just AWESOME. Does the 900 have the multi touch feature ?

With 5 hours battery life and if you keep you XP clean IMHO it sure beat any C2D that I have come across that came loaded with tons of useless utility that slows down the boot up time and windows xp performance. Well my EEEPC 901 with the above installed boots in 50 seconds with the first 10 second for the BIOS.

Well I am happy and planning to get a Maxis USB Broadband 3G soon.

Jackdon.

Leenux,

I do not have a 320GB but I have a 60GB and a external notebook slim cd rom connected at the same time and it works well.

jamezco,

What about Digi because the current promotion and free EEEPC 701, I could get it and pass that to a relative that is studying.

Well at lease celcom is cheaper at RM99/=, as a maxis post paid customer I pay RM118/= rebate. This set me thinking hmm.gif
