I have order 900 from S'pore and it comes with 30GB & XP installed.
Price around S$700.

The dealer claimed this's a special edition in order to clear stock for 900 before there starts selling 901.

The dealer will call me by next week for the collection arrangement.

Bro...is your 901 wide screen ?
Cause it doesn't looks like wide screen from your picture

I have check with an marketing staff in one of the 2 main distributor for Eee PC and they told me that 901 will not be released in Malaysia so soon.

They will only bring in 900......and 1000 model !!
Why 1000 and not 901 ?....cause again they said 901 shortage of stocks.

The good news is the *900* (corrected) price is unbelieveable attractive.....comes with 30GB (2.5" HD Drive) & XP.

I cannot reveal the prize at this moment but they told me that for EeePC 901...there will not be any prize control meaning those seller can sell at a higher price if they want....margin too small perhaps.

For those looking for 901....u might shift your buying to MSI Wind.....but will MSI Wind be easily available ??.

Your choice is as good as mine.

Ok...I try to make it simple for you guys to decide which to buy.

The price of a 900 and 901 is around RM300....the difference is extra 2 hours battery life and 901 has Bluetooth.

Reviews has indicated that the all new Atom 1.6 processor does not really outperformed the Celeron 900.

Jackdon,

Ok...keep us update if you managed to spot any 901 XPH, 1000H or MSI Wind at Imbi/LowYat by tomorrow.

Thanks

Bro,

Which shop did you bought the MSI Wind ?
I might need to get one by this week but the only setback is the short battery life

I assume they only have white & pink...rite ?

Sorry...typo error.
The 30Gb is for the 900 model AND not 901.

The only info I got is that 900 will have a 2.5 HD drive.


@jackdon...thanks for correcting me.

Yep....Asus really flooding the market with 701,900,901,100,904
What next...maybe 999 or 911

For those outside of KL area....900 (30GB) *4 cells battery* will only be available anytime between tomorrow until next Tuesday.

Be patient as I believe our Jackdon or others will be posting more details as soon as 900 (30GB) being sold at any of the outlets in Imbi/LowYat.

901 only be in the next couple of weeks...no idea the exact date and no any idea if it comes with 4 or 6 cell battery.

Suggested retail price is 1399 but dealer might be selling at a higher price cause there's no any price control for EeePC.

The pricing structure formula is that 900, 901 & 1000 will have a price gap of RM300 difference.

If you want longer a battery life...u will have to go for 901 running on Intel Atom.

So difficult to get the 901...so I decided to get the MSI Wind last week after some help from our forumner Jackdon...thanks

At least MSI Wind price is accurate than EEE PC price...dealer in LowYat & Digital Mall is selling the 900 between 1399 - 1699....there's no price control being set by the Asus.

Asus Malaysia did a pre-launch at San Francisso Coffee KLCC for 901 / 1000 model early last week and announce to the media press that the 901 / 1000 will be price at 1699 / 1999 and will be in the market the very same week.....but until today no any sign of its whereabout...lol evem appear in The Star (Intech section) dated 10/07/08.

I think if u guys want to view the 901...u have to look for one of the 901 proud owner Mr Jackdon.

Will upgrade my MSI Wind to 6 cell battery once it released in market in Sept / Oct or maybe Aug.


Jackdon....maybe you can plan a gathering for all EEE Pc, Aspire One, MSI Wind & other UMPC owner for us to share our experience on it .

I called them just now & a guy said no stock for Eee PC 1000 or 901

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

Bro...after so many opinions...it's time for u to make your decision.
It's your call now as this's down to your own personal choice.

You can't make decision just by reading & depending to forums....u have fell it, see it & test it.

Time to get out & get one to end your misery....just like me..I'm using MSI Wind now.
