so.. what is actually selling in Lowyat?
900 with 5800/4400/6600mAh?
Is there 901 now in Lowyat?

I just got my 1000h from lowyat. According to the staff, their stock arrived yesterday and had 10 units, now left only 1. So those who want it, go grab it fast.

Can't test it yet as I am going outstation. Probably will format it and throw in TinyXP plus eeeUbuntu when I am back.

How much did you get it for? 6600mAh battery?

Susuwatari,

Give us your hands on experience when you got the time.

Superman7,

rm1999, didn't bargain as I was in a hurry.
Yes, the battery is a 6600.

Jackdon,

Will test it on monday if Im free, hehe.

I just got myself 901-X Japanese model. After using a few hours, I find the keyboard is a little small for me. Performance is snappy. Another complaint is the small 12GB SSD. I got a 16GB SDHC as extra storage. The reason I choose it over Wind and Aspire One is because of smaller size and 6 cell battery. It's pretty small and portable.

Tks again

But, can I just add another 1gb to make it 2gb (1+1). Does it hv 2 slots for RAM?. Which is advisable, ie to make the speed faster.....make it 1gb+1gb or 2gb?

Cool man , u r a really eee pc genius

Tks a lot

How do i know my eeepc is what model? And what ram can put in asus eeepc? thank you

Susuwatari,

Which shop did u bought it from, any contact no.?

Tks

Shaddy,

YUP I fully agrees with you on that keyboard being small it a bit of a problem typing but the Overall SIZE is just the right size for me , The 4 and 8GB SSD is not a problem for me because I do not see myself storing GIGs or Video and MP3 there. I followed the guide to use nlite to slim down XP and it now boots up real fast.

I am now testing Dragon NaturallySpeaking and it is not bad but I have to learn to speak properly and not mumble (due to old age ). It works pretty well but unfortunately if I was not taught to speak clearly and slowly. . Will reinstall in again and to the training later today when the kids goes to see the Cheer 2008.

Just curious how much did you paid for the 16GB SDHC.

There is only one RAM slot, so you get a 2GB to replace the 1GB. The existing RAM speed is rated at 667mhz.

Where can I get the Asus 900 cheapest? Is RM1299 the cheapest?

Seems to be the cheapest...

Hi Jackdon, this nlite is a program to trim down the XP installed or a trimmed version of XP for us to install ourselves?

Can we turn off and on the network port which connected to phoneline whenever we wanted to?

Ziranfaze,

Nlite is used to create an XP install cd, you have the options to add / remove component / services / unattended installed / add hot fixes patches and also slip streamed SP3 into it. It is pretty simple but if you are aggressive or too aggressive you might end up creating a superfast XP but a lot of function cannot work . There is no patches after that but to create a new one.

I did it 4 times but and I am only 90% statisfied, I will give it another week or so before I recreate my final version. Still optimizing my eeePC 901, actually that is where the fun is.

jackdon.

How much is the actual speed difference between the original XP compared to the nlite version? I'm referring to the bootup time..

Superman7,

Well if you follow the link I posted earlier, it takes 17 sec to bootup WinXP Pro. Do take note that guide was for the 900. You must enable P4 support for Hyper Trading else you cannot install in on a 901. Also I have to add back Modem support for Maxis BB Dialup and also I added Chinese Language.

Maybe you can share your version of nlite once you have done with your configuration on the 901

i think superman7 meant to say share your method, not share the CD . i'm eyeing for 901 myself. i think this model suits my requirement the best as a portable netbook

so how was the xp performance with ur 900?
panning to buy it this week

hello fellas,

I'm now looking for a small and light laptop as I travel a lot, and after some survey I plan to get a 900/ 901 by next 2 weeks, after I coming back from a trip. Some question to ask. May I know:

a) what is the difference/s btw 900 and 901?
b) my finger is bit rough, so may I know how many % smaller compared to a normal laptop keyboard?
c) what is the advantages over msi wind?
d) how do you guys format the window, since it don't have any cd-rom and how do you boot from usb?
e) is the performance worth the price?

thanks.
