On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	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?

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	QUOTE(jdreamer @ May 17 2008, 05:46 PM) Does it able to stand the heat? As in if I use it for 24/7. I'd also like to know this... QUOTE(Itori @ May 19 2008, 01:04 PM) No ASUS logo at the laptop, replaced with EEE Hmm...I'd prefer to have the Asus logo instead of Eee...actually how do you pronounce it? Like an exaggerated 'E' or 'e, e, e PC'??? Nice chart iRonTech . Asus Eee PC seems the best for me so far. But I thought 900 doesn't have Bluetooth and neither the Atom?

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	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.

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	I went to Lowyat yesterday and one guy there told me Eee PC 900 comes out here only in August. The one in Yeahstore looks pretty good! Good price. But yesterday I fell in love with Kohjinsha...but it's just too expensive!!!

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	QUOTE(jdreamer @ May 26 2008, 02:06 AM) Is yeahstore reliable? I haven't bought anything from them yet coz I've also heard of them fairly recently but then I read some posts here on LYN forum and those people who have bought from Yeahstore gave good feedback.

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	QUOTE(realshinjae @ May 27 2008, 12:09 AM) 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.

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	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

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	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...

On my way Senior Member 599 posts Joined: Sep 2005	QUOTE(Itori @ Jun 4 2008, 02:59 AM) 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... I prefer the Asus logo anytime over EEE. Maggi didn't give a negative connotation for eg. but in our culture, EEE gives out a yucky impression, like "eee...yucks". And for me, having all the good stuff coming out around the same time is a good thing. More competitors=better price and better stuff. So I can have more choices! QUOTE(ar188 @ Jun 4 2008, 12:25 PM) yup EEE name sucks.. sounds like = "Eeee yer.." yucky Ditto. My point exactly.
