Questions to ask:
1.What is the type of DDR2 RAM that eeePC uses? Is it the same with other current notebook? 2.Without voiding the warranty, is self-installing an option? |

We have to consider the fact that Asus never advertised or put in writing that the card reader is SDHC compliant.Real SDHC compliant card readers (which they have to pay money for the logo) are $$$ |

how much is the current price for 4G?
Digi's Eee PC bundle data plan Total payable for 24 months is RM123 x 24 = RM2952 Digi's data plan is RM66 per month x 24 for data access is already RM1584 So that's leave RM2952 - RM1584 = RM1368 for the Asus EeePC 4G + Data card... worth it kah? |

It'll be interesting to see what ASUS says about the 10400mAh...
They probably say using that battery, you risk of voiding the warranty.. |

I recently subscribed to the Digi 123 to jump on the mobility's craze. Ok, what do I get for RM 123 (contract 2 years);
1. Asus Eeepc with camera and wifi and Windows XP complete with free mouse (RM 1649), 2. Asus Data Modem (RM 1159) and, 3. Digi The Edge (384k) (RM 66 x 24=1584) Total is RM 4392. I pay RM2952(installment for 2 yrs interest free). I used to have Streamyx RM44 for 512k for 60 hrs a month. If you were to compare, of course Streamyx is faster but after 1 week of usage, Digi is kinda acceptable (to me at least and I don't get pay to write this). Well, lots of people already know about this package, I want to introduce something value added to the already attractive package. The sales professional I got this package from is quite good and patient. I recommend her if you want to get this package or other things from Digi. She is based Digital Mall in PJ and can be contacted at 016-20 34567. Attached is her photo.  |

Most likely will be joining the EEE PC gang. Quite attracted to DiGi EDGE RM 123 package.
Nice portable laptop, though it has limited features but it is enough for normal usage like surfing Internet via WiFi, chatting and listening to music. This post has been edited by fruitie: May 10 2008, 11:06 PM |

thx guys =) cant wait for the 900 to be here in msia .... really wanted to get the 701 coz its so cheap ... xD but then rather wait coz of the size of the screen ... xD |

Does it make sense to get the Eee900 in Taiwan now?
What other stuff (computer stuff) I could get in Taiwan which is far cheaper than M'sia? |

I'm planning to go to Singapore soon and maybe go visit Sim Lim to check out the Eee PC 900. Anyone knows the latest price now in S'pore? Better to get myself well informed so I won't be cheated.
Actually I already have a notebook and a home pc but I need a very light notebook to bring it everywhere with me for work purposes. My work mainly needs me to use the internet, not much besides that. You guys think it's a good choice to get this? How do I check that the battery is 5800 mAh and not 4400 mAh? |

WTF?!
What is ASUS thinking of doing anyway. With a new EEE PC out?! And I'm not talking of the upcoming 900... I Thought that the EEE 900 is the latest one with Intel Atom but it seems like ASUS came out with ASUS EEE PC 901. Gizmodo: EEE PC 901 There is a redesign and it looks better. No ASUS logo in the back of the screen but the EEE logo. I think ASUS is killing it's own product... Just like Nintendo with NDS and NDSL... |

No, you didn't mention mobility at all, so I don't think the EEE PC is something for you. Get a cheap laptop - it's much more comfortable to use.Added on May 18, 2008, 8:53 amI'm currently using my EEE to do casual ebook reading on-the-go. Still haven't setup PPP on it so I can't use 3G yet.. but it should be soon The battery life is really a big problem - it doesn't feel like I'm getting 2 hours out of this thing. Besides, it drains battery very quickly while under suspend mode. |

One of the problems with the EEE keyboard is its lack of dedicted PgUp/Down keys. They are overloaded into the Up/Down keys where you need to press it in conjunction with Fn.
This makes it impossible to scroll in most apps using only one hand!! An exception is Adobe Reader, where you can use rightShift + Up/Down. |

OK, if you think so
I suggest that you at least get a USB keyboard+mouse to use when you're docked at a desk. Using the EEE sure gets me funny looks on the streets. A fair number of people have come up to ask me about it. Finally got 3G hooked up through my Nokia today, and it's starting to fulfill my expectations |

EEE 900 Same specs like the old EEE 701 but with larger screen which support 1024x600 screen rezo. And a trackpad which utilizes multitouch technology... More or so like Apple multitouch.

instaling osx tiger either on 4gb ssd on the eee701 or on the 4gb ssd not the 16gb ssd of the eee900 is not exactly rocket science...but in order for wifi to work you need to install the dell 1391 builtin..and do..the vga thingy..osx runs very well under 630mhz not full 900mhz speed...and only tiger, not leopard is supported by the celeron cpu which supports only up to SSE2...but I can't wait ti try leopard on the eee901 atom...

Yeah they stuffed up the EEE 900 specs there - it definitely doesn't have bluetooth.
Now I'm torn between getting a $40 USB mini-bt adapter, or going for a $200 USB HSDPA modem. |

Oh wait, can someone explain to me on the 4GB + 12 GB Flash thingy? I'm confused about it. This is for the Linux version right? If I install Win XP(NLite) in it, will it affect the speed and performance?
I'm also at a cross-road, wondering if I should buy EEE PC 900, MSI Wind or HP Mini...the price of EEE PC 900 isn't cheap anymore so it doesn't stand out as much as its predecessor. |

Hello guys. I've been using eeepc 701 for about 11 days now, it's a very capable little machine...i have to say that. I bought it as used item from a forumer as I was looking for a cheap sub notebook. Just done a presentation using eeepc together with my new Toshiba projector...very handy indeed.

I can get EEE PC 700, but 900 seems prettier. But the price is over my limit.
Do you guys think there will be a decrease in the price for EEE PC 900 when MSI Wind arrives? |

To go from RM1299(701) to almost RM2000(900) makes the 900 so much less attractive even with the improvements. That's why many people are still considering other UMPCs. I guess the price will decrease only when they come out with newer model than the 900.Do you guys think there will be a decrease in the price for EEE PC 900 when MSI Wind arrives? |

My 2 cents:1. 8.9" screen - higher resolution --> If you're used to resolutions above 1680x1050, 800x480 and 1024x600 is the same.. both tarak cukup. I feel the minimum acceptable resolution for myself is 1280x768 2. 12gig of ssd --> Actually no diff also.. better to use SDHC instead. More flexible. No matter 4GB, 8GB, 12GB or even 20GB is still not enough/puny compared with a regular HDD 3. celeron processor running at full speed - 900mhz --> 7" also can run the same with eeectl 4. 1.3m pixel web cam --> Only for the webcam freaks. I disabled my webcam by default 5. improve touch pad --> Multi touch loses its appeal. Guarantee you won't use it after a couple of weeks |

QUOTE(Superman7 @ May 27 2008, 04:32 PM) So.. have you got it? What is the price? No...or not yet. I ended up buying HP Pavilion TX2032AU yesterday and am eyeing Kohjinsha. Yeahstore sells 900 for RM1850 but I'd like to wait till August to see how much they offer in Lowyat. I haven't totally obliterate the idea of owning an Eee PC from my mind yet. Very greedy I know!  Oh forgot to say that I think the one in Yeahstore should be the same price for both Linux/Win XP coz it stated both OS in their spec. This post has been edited by estara: May 27 2008, 04:45 PM |

Is a Microsoft Visual C++ going to work on the EEEPC 701 as well? The HDD space is only 4gb, will it be enough for the office programs?

I don't think any other price would be as cheap as Asus could go.. They have lots of experience with UMPC with their Eee701...

VIA's Isaiah CPU architecture has been rebranded Nano. Competition for Intel's Atom? Source
QUOTE VIA Nano is the first 64-bit, superscalar, speculative out-of-order processors in VIA’s x86 product line-up.... Nano offers about 1.6x to 3.2x the performance of the C7 clock-for-clock while within a similar, albeit somewhat higher, power envelope. Good news? Should start seeing it in the market Q3 2008... |

Hehehe I have a feeling that by 3rd quarter of 2008 there will be many UMPCs coming out...I think I might as well wait till then to decide since I'm out of budget now. Then I can have a broader choice...downside is maybe more expensive by then...

Bloody hell, I seriously wonder why asus wanted to launch 900 if they know 901 is coming less than 1.5 months later. If I am in US now, i would probably RMA and get my refund, damn it! I rugi banyak lah.

That Eee logo has got to go. They need to take it out back and shoot it, then come up with a 21st century design.

the EEE logo is because of the branding... They want to make EEE like how Nestle brands Maggi...
but still... The Eee logo sucks... I like the asus logo better... I hope that Eee 900 drops its price... But if Eee 901 is below the RM2k range, I might consider to buy it... Damn them, why suddely release all the good stuffs out? Is it because everyone in joining in the 'Netbook' market now? Sheesh... 701 soon below RM1k... Hmm... tempting. This may be a good start for 3rd world countries to adopt technology... Since OLPC phailed to gain the popularity... |

Later when carrying that computer around... Ppl think I like to stick fancy hello kitty stickers on my It's like killing your own product in a sense that they produce 900 out and told the public and selling it at a price of Rm1900, Then when the new ones came out, 901 is estimated to be sold at Rm1900 also. Eventhough that the 900 will still have a price drop. But the best thing is, having 701 at estimated price drop to RM900 is very interesting to low income earners who wants to learn about technology. They sell big with 701... But with the emerging market now of portables, I am wondering how far does Asus carry on the Eee. Probably getting the EEE 900 soon if the price is below Rm1500.

Asus is making a big mistake with 1000 and 900. They should focus on making a sub-500$ notebook instead of releasing expensive UMPCs. Dell and MSI already garnering EEE supporters with their EEE clones.

Hi,
I have 2 friends going to Taiwan today and tomorrow. I have ask each of them to get me a Asus EEEPC 901. Not sure if it they can do it but I figure even if both of them gets it I should be able to put one unit for sale here .Now lets see how it goes next Sunday. The official price in Taiwan for 901 is just under 17K Taiwan $. Well I am keeping my fingers cross. jackdon. |

I am waiting for 901 as well though I might still get a 900 eventually. Just hope the release will cause other price to drop. I am getting it for backup and travel purpose, how many of you actually use it as your primary notebook? |

The one that gives you most bang for the buck is still the 701. It's so cheap these days with all the "pre-owned" sets being tossed out. A little speed bump with EeeCTL can let you play such games as GTA:SA and WoW. It is bar none the best money I've ever spent on a handheld device, especially when you compare it to the hugely overpriced and underpowered HP Mininote.

QUOTE(mych @ Jun 19 2008, 02:00 AM) Eee PC now for serious gaming.. now !! What kind of serious gaming? DotA, Max Payne, GTA3, WoW(?), are playable in the EEE Pc 701 and 900. I would really think that 901 and 1000 can work better on games. But will it still run hardcore games like NFS, DMC? Unless with software and a primary power PC, I think Asus EEE can only work those simple easy games. I'm getting the EEE for surfing and work, (Searching for pictures, research and typing) I don't think that the EEE will help me much. I'll still get a Primary PC. But EEE acts for me like a portable machine that suits my needs. I have till August to save money. Probably will get the 900 version if it drops the price. If it's the same price as 901 or a few hundred more...... Then I'll get the 901. |

701 pricing is really good and tempting... but after looking at the screen, its really small and its a hassle coz of the small lil screen .... I personally would go for the 901 =)
not bad la ... my funds for 901 is already RM400 ... another 4 to 5 months to go ... hopefully could get it by then lo ... =) or unless Dell punya Slim E and stuff is cheaper ... then of course I would go for something which is a bang for my buck ... =) |

 Friend called from Taipei, 901 no stock. The 900 is 20G linux is selling for 15500 NT$. Looks like I will wait for the 901 to be release. From some of the benchmark seen the 901 graphics performance is about 3x faster than the 900. jackdon |

If you use your notebook for work, don't think any EeePC with a Celeron M or even Atom will be able to replace it. You're better off looking at the new Compaq B1286TU. It'll be a lot closer to the power you'd expect from an actual desktop, but small and light enough to carry around without getting a workout. Here's a quick comparison between the B1286TU and 1000H:
RM2500 vs ~RM2000 1.9KG vs 1.45KG 2GHz C2D vs 1.6GHz Atom |

QUOTE(rahuldave @ Jun 21 2008, 04:57 AM) Good comparison, but is the new atom processor too bad to replace a normal desktop? Is it to slow to perform? I think from some benchmarking done on the Atom vs the Celeron M's in the current Eee's, the Atom doesn't seem to deliver as much as anticipated from the numbers and conclusions other people had. B1286TU is good in features but the weight 1.9kg is quite bulky......for traveller..... Anyway, good point of view Sorry, I can't remember exactly were is the link but a good start would be the eeeuser forum. I think the S'porean VR-Zone EeePC forum also had a thread on the Atom's performance. 1.9kg already considered good leh. My last work laptop is like 3kg, and I find the 2kg of my TX2000 is pretty manageable. Don't forget to factor in the weight of additional batteries if you are the frequent traveller / 'road warrior' type. |

QUOTE(cjtune @ Jun 21 2008, 02:36 PM) Sorry, I can't remember exactly were is the link but a good start would be the eeeuser forum. I think the S'porean VR-Zone EeePC forum also had a thread on the Atom's performance.  I read the same benchmark and came to the conclusion: 2000 bucks is too much to pay for something just slightly smaller and lighter than the current batch of 13" notebooks. Perhaps VIA Isaiah would make a better candidate, but it also depends on their pricing. Look, the 701 series costs about 1000 or less these days in the used market. Sure it's 7" but it does all the light computing tasks in spades. When you add another 1000 bucks to the equation, and only add a fraction of performance... I don't know. These Atoms can probably sell if they price them at 1299. Anything beyond that, with our current economy, and these guys would be just digging their own grave.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « this one is silverthorne atom. EEEPC 901 is using diamondville. i'm planning to buy eeepc but not sure 901 or 900. Feature wise.. 901 better. but in term of cpu performance, 900 is better i think. |

QUOTE(rahuldave @ Jun 21 2008, 04:57 AM) Good comparison, but is the new atom processor too bad to replace a normal desktop? Is it to slow to perform? to be honest, Asus never intended for the eeePC line so far to be a desktop replacement. the whole idea (so far) was for a low cost portable laptop to use on the go, e.g. commuters & uni students.B1286TU is good in features but the weight 1.9kg is quite bulky......for traveller..... Anyway, good point of view |

Dell new's UMPC is going to win it all... I was dead serious about the Asus EEE PC, then I heard there will be a newer version and we all know it, and its old news.
But the new Dell... delicious! http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/05/exclusiv...i_laptop-2.html  Staying in topic, I would love to see how Asus EEE PC fans would react to the upcoming Dell... |

For all you know, the whole UMPC craze might just collapse, as mainstream laptops get more budget-friendly, lighter, and smaller, and the UMPC's get more expensive, heavy, larger.
10 bucks says they'll converge at 10" screen size. |

I disagree... the new trend is UMPC - the lighter version of the already light version of laptops. 10 bucks says they'll converge at 10" screen size. I can already imagine a future of UMPCs... However its up to the consumer whether he/she can make do with the features present in a UMPC. However, in terms of size/portability, UMPC is the way to go ! |

Whatever you do, don't buy from seller 'Lycfeng' on Ebay.I want to get one ... if the price is good... That b**** f***ing cheated me. RMA 2 months already no response. That being said, even in S'pore, there are only a few shops that sell Eee extension batteries (6600 and 10400mAh) batteries and I noticed that most on VR-Zone eventually bought through Mass Orders or directly through Ebay. Here's a link to one such S'pore shop. Knew them from an IT expo: http://www.innovative.com.sg/battery/produ...roducts_id=5126 Looks familiar? |

for sure. can probably pay for 2 eeePC 1000H even. or just go for a proper full size laptop.
& i don't think Asus can get away with selling the eeePC 1000H at SG$1.5k anyway w/o a built-in optical drive. but then the Kohjinsha SR is still cheaper than a Macbook Air...hehe |

QUOTE(cjtune @ Jun 23 2008, 11:16 AM) Does Kojinsha or Fujitsu or anybody else have a 10" touchscreen tablet UMPC that's about 1kg and have 4 hours battery life? maybe you can look at fujitsu P1610, P1620, but not too sure the battery life.Don't think so, but that's my ideal UMPC if it ever comes out... for long battery life will be the sony TZ series, but it doesn't come with touchscreen tablet.

Hurray.......
my Asus 901 Black XP is here. I must say I am rather impress with the unit. The chinese xp home edition seems to be quick. It comes loaded with 1. Microsoft Works 8.5 2. Start Office 8.0 3. InterVideo WinDVD 4. Skype 5. Adobe Reader 8.0 6. Windows Live Mail 7. And a few other utilities. SSD split into C: 4GB - 1.26GB free D: 8GB - 6.7GB free Speed is pretty inpressive but since it is Chinese and I do not read Chinese so I will reinstall it with Tiny XP to scale down the OS to a smaller size. Here is by new TOY  Ok time to redo the OS installation.... |

why do you need to reinstall the OS? Can't you just change the language?
