Didn't find 901 at the stores in Low Yat today.
Only 900 with 30GB HD and many 701's.

beebee,

Yup you can definately install from the USB drive after you use nlite to make it smaller. There is even a tutorial for it. I am now actually reinstalling my EEEPC 901 again... AGAIN yup this is the 3rd time. This time I follow the 411MB XP link that I posted before. There is one settings you must not disable is the CPU Pentium 4 Hyper Threading support. And I can tell you that it boots up REAL FAST..... the 17 sec is true.

WOW ...... I am impress. With all the drivers installed I only used up 680MB with no swap file.

Again it boots up so fast ..... FASTTTTTTTT

Remember the days when the 900 was launch, you can hardly find one let alone the 701. I believe it should be a while before you can see the 901 and the 1000H or until they clear their 900 down to 10% stock status.

hehe... this is life.

Battery life is very important, a few days ago I got a MSI Wind U100 for my brothers son. Well he brought the MSI to my house and we configuring his notebook. He has to plug his MSI Wind U100 to keep it going because it was low in battery.... HEHE... I am still going strong with 50% battery...

What good is a Computer without POWER....

So you better think twice before you get the 900 or Acer Aspire One or even the HP.

just my 2 sen worth.

Hi Jack

Sorry, for asking this question again

Which do u think the best,
1. MSI Wind U100
2. Asus 1000H
3. Acer Aspire One

In terms if processor, speed, battery life and etc

I'm going to use it mainly for:
1. P2P (Limewire, torrents)
2. Office (Word, Excel..)
3. Video Streaming....Youtube and etc..
4. Video Conversion
5. Lite games...(Not going to use it often i guess)

Actually i'm much interested in 1000H as it supports 80gb HDD, but at the same time i'm also interested in 901 bcoz of the weight, but 901 the HD capacity is small, so i'm left

Hope to hear more from u

These notebooks are meant to replace a normal laptop >_>

the 3 netbooks you mention all have the same type of proc all of them can't do video conversion and gaming performance from spec wise is about the same

p2p and video streaming depends on your internet speed

the eee comes with a larger capacity battery...

its easier to type on the wind but it just takes some getting use to on the eee

Rahuldave,

Now this is my own opinion only. As indicated you need a big HDD 80GB for P2P download, Word processing and Excel spreat sheet, Video Streaming and Video Conversion plus some lite games. So I would assume this would be your PRIMARY COMPUTER. Primary Computer meant that you will be using this all the time. With that in mind if I were to purchase the following would be my criteria.

1. All 3 of them are using the Atom CPU and upgradeable to 2GB so this is not an issue.

2. P2P requirement meant you need Disk Space to store all those "DOWNLOADS" so a 80GB is a MUST.
So you can safely rule out the Acer Aspire One because it only comes with 8GB Flash Disk. So the Asus 901 is
also rule out because of disk space.

3. Now we only have the MSI Wind U100 and the Asus EeePC 1000H and base on the indicated prices
MSI = RM 1,730/= where as the Asus 1000H = RM 1,999/=. The only difference I can see is that the
Asus comes with a 6 Cell 6600mAH bettery rated at 5 hours where as the MSI is only 2 -3 hours. Also the
Wifi on the MSI is only a & g where as the Asus is a g & n. Larger keyboard for both the MSI and Asus
would definately rule out the Acer Aspire completely. Also a larger keyboard is important because you
would be using this as your PRIMARY COMPUTER.

So we are down to only 2 which is the.

1. MSI Wind U100 - Cheaper by RM269/= but smaller battery, no Wifi Wireless Draft N
But that you can purchase a high capacity battery when 3rd party cheaper battery are available.
STOCK IS AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY.

2. Asus EeePC 1000H - More expensive, large battery, Wireless Draft N.
NO STOCK + NO INDICATION WHEN AVAILABLE.
(This is base on the 901 which felt SOLID TO HOLD, where as the MSI Wind U100 abit flimsy).

Well that is how I would make my decision on which model to purchased but your would need to make your own decision.

Hi,

For those of you following the 411MB XP Nlited setup, do take note that you cannot disable modem support if you are planning to use 3G Wireless USB modem support.

Darn.... after finish all the setup and plug my USB Maxis 3G modem cannot run because the nlite 411MB XP guide took out the modem support. Now I have to recreate another one.... This time I will add a few more feature just to be sure....

hehe... I am getting pretty at installing XP on the eeePC by now.

jackdon

do you guys recomend installing win xp to 4g model with only 512md of ram?

I have eeepc701 4g os xp sp2 4gb SSD with 2bgram & 4gb SDHC.
I just test it with eeepc 900 xp sp3 30gb HD sata with 2gb ram & 8gb SDHC.

At first, i,m sad when i compare my eeepc701 that i bought 3mths ago witht he eeepc900 that is saw past few day at lowyat.

But after i test both of them, i will stick with my eeepc701.( i tot of selling it that day!)

eeepc 900 with 4400mah batt have shorter stamina comparing with eeepc701.

eeepc900 got bigger touchpad but i found that eeepc701 touchpad is more precise. the eeepc900 tapping on the touch pad is not as good as 701. fail double tap so many times.

eeepc900 screen is far more better than stock 701. but after i install eeepc tool beta1.0, the display for 701 problem is solve with 800 x 600 alltough is kinda like out of actual ratio.

Sound for 701 has better stereo seperation than 900 which has the speaker built beneath the keyboard.

Both has same 900mhz intel celeron. startup & shutdown for 4gb SSD seems to be like instant comparing with 30gb HD which need more processing time.

u can try holding both eeepc701 & eeepc900. U can feel the weight difference. eeepc701 is lighter & slimmer a bit.

If without those pro that i found with eeepc701, i will definitely sell out my eeepc701 by this week.

I use my eeepc701 just for msn, internet surfing, youtube, mp3, msoffice 2003.

WC3 Dota is install in external drive.

For me, eeepc is for the size. It has class of it own. Do more than a PDA for internet & chat, Lighter & smaller than a normal laptop. I given up with pda once i got this eeepc.

Well put, may I know what kind of battery life you are getting on the 701.

jackdon

anyone know if there are clear laptop skins for eeePC 900 in the market?

i thought skins are custom one ?

Thanks for you opinion.

What we can conclude here
Eee PC 1000H has/support
1. Wireless Draft N (Which Is New I guess....is it backward compatible to support draft a)
2. 6600mAH 5 hrs.
3. Solid To Hold

So I guess its worth waiting and spending more for Asus Eee PC 1000H, and just wanna ask your opinion, some of the site state that 1000H is 1.36KG With 6 cell battery, is it heavy, i mean noticeable?

Thanks

yeah, but i actually want a clear one...then i'm gonna go for the ultimate customisation : stickers!
(nak act kewl, tapi tak nak stick directly on lappy)

Rahuldave,

The Eee PC 901 is slightly over 1KG so the 1000H should be heavier. Unless they come out with one made of Super light alloy like the Sony VAIO series. The way I see it is is that the additional weight is about the weight of an additional book. So pack a little lighter .

All these are just speculation and from what we read, I had not done any hands on the 1000H.

jackdon

the skin shop also got clear one le ...

Tks for your reply. Is it advisable for me to upgrade to 2gb DDR2 with my usage as stated earlier? If I upgrade to 2gb, does this will affect the weight too?

TQ

Rahuldave,

You remove the existing 1GB and then you put in the 2GB maybe it will increase the weight by about 10 - 20 grams

Then you can auction that 1GB here in the trade zone.

jackdon

i personally think eeepc 900 is better than 701.

battery life almost 4 hours with light usage. 5800mAH standard battery for eeepc 900.
my one is eeepc 900 20gb ssd. Performance much much better than eeepc 701. Weight also almost the same. only 70gm heavier. not really noticeable.

however this is not the same for eeepc 900 30GB HDD. battery life will be much shorter. some more performance of 1.8" hdd is very very bad. thats why you will notice that eeepc 701 is better because 701 is using ssd.

where u bought ur eeepc? i find allover lowyat and i can't find 5200mah & 5800mah btt for both model.

mine is 4400mah which i do ask b4 my supplier why i got 4400mah.

is true for the SSD is more faster than the 30gb HD. in fact i read it from one article tht SSD will replace present HD by 2010.
