The 1000H is going for 2099 at lowyat, the 901 for about 1.9k. I went to imbi and got a wind instead for 1799.

I got mine at RM1999 at LowYat today, upgrade to 2GB ram for RM80 and extended the warranty to 2 years for RM58, altogether RM2137..

What did you get. A MSI Wind U100 or a Asus eeepc 901 or 1000H. If it is the 1000H would like to hear your personal hands on.

This upgrade was performed by the shop selling you? Then the warranty won't be void?

Extend warranty is officially approved by Asus?

Hmm...just tried out on Asus SuperHybridEngine... don't see any different beside the 'power saving/auto high performance/super high performance' gui

What machine did you get? Asus EEE PC 1000 (H)? Which shop you got it from Low Yat?

hmm..i thought Asus anounce that 901 will cost rm1699?

sorry, its the asus 1000h...so far so good..but the base is quite warm after a while..no yostore bundled..still new to it..6 cell battery good for 7 hrs of normal use i.e web browsing..no micrsoft office..the wifi is very fast compared to my dell..keyboard flimsy compared to my dell..the finish is much better than wind..

The 901 is with 6-cell?

yes..the 901 is 6 cell..

Which store is selling? the price is RM1900? not RM1699?

901 is RM1699, 1000H is rm1999. Store is EVERNEW..they are having a booth at the Groiund Floor..

As a comparison, the 901 is S$798, 1000 is S$888 in Singapore (prices inclusive of 7% GST refundable to tourists; advertised in Challenger IT chain store).

Added on July 17, 2008, 11:47 pmAcer Aspire One is S$699. With the Atom CPU, I think it doesn't give any reason for the HP Mininote (S$888-999) with the VIA CPU to exist...

S$888= RM 2141 (S$1=RM2.40)...

Yup, not cheaper than M'sian, for Singaporean and PRs...
But if you're a tourist, you can claim back the 7% GST so, it's just RM1991.xx.
Note that Challenger prices are usually on the higher side. Maybe can get 5% lower with the Sim Lim shops (I haven't been snooping those shops).

How many RAM slots does the Asus EEE PC 1000(h) have?
Your 2GB is one stick or 2 sticks? How come only Rm80 for 2GB? You trade in the original 1GB?

Does it come with a bag or any free gift?

my god, i'm just so torn between the 1000h and wind

there's a comparison on the web that says the keyboard on the asus is not as good as the wind, plus tactile feedback from the mouse buttons aren't as good as wind either

plus the horribly huge ugly hinge on the asus makes the wind look so sexy

on the other hand, 6 cell @ 7 hours is freagin awesome.



i'd appreciate any suggestions from users of 1000h and wind. cheers.

not compare it to acer one?

what for?

acer's only 8.9" screen

Battery LIFE rules......
