Once the 6 cell is out for Wind...it will rulez over 901 & 1000

901 @ RM1699 is the one for me. still maintain the original size with better spec. i hope to get good deal (& got stock) during coming pc fair

So in Lowyat can get EEE PC 901 with 6 cell battery at RM1699. I am going to get this.

Upgrade being planned:-
1. DDR 2GB upgrade.
2. put in a 1.8" zif hard disk and put the 8GB SSD for lelong.

Anymore ideas on upgrading?

yup..the RAM is a 2Gb single slot and i traded the 1Gb RAM for a CORSAIR 2Gb, came with a ori soft bag thats all..btw the ori RAM has no brand.

stock is depleting rapidly, yesterday alone besides me. in one afternoon, 5 Nos of 901 and also 5 nos of 1000H within the hour. I wanted the WIND but they dont have the White colour and also didn't fancy the 3 cell battery. The next shipment of WIND from Computer War will only have PINK and BLack colour. Shucksss..

Can the bag fit in the power adapter and one external slim DVD writer?

Dvng,

I would suggets that you test out your unit by plugging in the AC adapter and pulling it out a few times. It was reported that CORSAIR 2GB RAM hangs during the switch between AC and Battery. Get the Kingston Value RAM cheaper and tested by lots of users in eeeuser.com. This is on the 901.

hi, wan to ask if i upgrade the ram, will it void the waranty? asus got extended waranty package? if yes how much to add on?

901 got 8GB SSD? here it says 20 (linux) or 12 (XP)
(courtesy of CNET asia)

4+16gb (Linux) and 4+8gb (XP). 4gb comes on-board.

Yup that is right 4 + 16 for linux and 4 + 8 on xp.

The 4GB is using the slave slot but the 8GB SSD cannot fit in the 4GB slot because it is thicker.

Is 1000H not 901

so the 901's 20GB drive is actually a combination of 4GB + 16GB? Damn!! That's make's it a bit difficult to install Vista on it

Must use 4gb to install xp??? cannot use the 16Gb one?

not really.
vlite will shrink vista much like what nlite did for xp.
its just that you wont get a 300MB ISO for vista.

btw the 900 with 30GBs is celeron and SSD or celeron and HDD?

if not mistaken, it's celeron with hdd
