a bit bulky yes, but from what i have read, it gives you 5 hours of battery life, on 80% wcreen brightness and Wifi on

dude, how much did you pay?
and did you bid or just buy it?

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?

hey guys who has the 901.
your batteries, how many cells?
and can the battery from the 701 fit into the 901?

dude, where did you get your 60GB HDD? and the ZIF cable?

if you do it, and it works, can i send my eee to you to put in the touchscreen?

actually if you want the screen turn, you better get the gigabyte

http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/gigabyt...boxed-on-video/

its expensive tho, but it comes with vista (the best writing recognition software out there!) and 160GB hard disk.

The battery i will look forward to (9 hour battery life ) but the every month new hardware? maybe its just accessories but ....

and if you have the correct tools and stuff, yeah, its that easy.

as tempting that sounds, the dell-e has one thing that is kinda iffy - it doesnt have any f-keys.
i know it may seems to be good, but think about it - unless they will have a hardware control for those funtions (turn on/off wifi, sound, mute etc etc), those functions will be ALL over the keyboard.

actually if you want to get the best typing experience out there, you should go with the MSI Wind. its the closest to your 12.1" dell laptop, it even has a 80GB hard disk.
but then, i'm used to type wiht the 701 already so i feel the901 keyboard is fine by me.

actually, you got both facts somewhat wrong.

1. the 1000H at 1.45KG comes with a 6-cell battery, while at 1.1Kg the wind has only 3 cells. i wonder how much it will weigh when the 6cells are in.

2. the 1000H has 10 inches, not 8.9". the 900 series is the one with 8.9" inches.

hey guys.

to those who wants to get a 1.8" hdd with a ZIF connector to upgrade the space on their EEE (901. not sure 900 or 701 ada ZIF connector tak) can get the drive from this guy.

its only 30GB but its more than 8GB now right?

SSD stands for Solid State Drive i.e. flash drive. The main advantage is it will boot the OS faster. and it has no moving parts, so the pc will not go KABOOM if you drop the pc. on the other than, it eats the big part of the price of the pc, hence the higher capacity HDD model is the same price as the lower capacity SSD.

No drawback in HDD. In the end its you want more space but with moving parts, or less space that dont move around.

i used an OEM laptop dvd burner i bought from one of the forumers here. forgot the nick, but you can find it in the garage sale section i guess.

davidmak: damn, i feel that my reply is very insignificant when compared to yours. haha

actually, Buffalo is coming out with a 32GB SSD expansion card for the 901.

gonna cost about USD$300++ for the 64GB versiontho. but it will be blazing fast.

i'm still waiting for my 901, but when i get mine, gonna reformat the 4GB and install vista in it ( YES, VISTA).

why? because i like vista, and using vista actually gets you about 15-20% more battery life than xp. amazing or not.

also, coming soon - Asus Eee 900A - i.e. the 900 body with 901's isi.

personally, i like the 901's body design.

Well, jkkmobile installed it on his 901 test machine, and the video has his battery meter regstering a higher battery hour than on XP.

also, ppl have sucessfully installed vista in the Wind, and seeing that the specs is quite similar, i would say that i will get the same increase in battery life on the eee?

Haha. Grimm somewhat hit the nail there with his post.

Personally, i agree with every point that grimm stated in his explanation, and i would like to add a few.

I'm a student. Being a student, you are given a choice of either a) a powerfull desktop pc that goes nowhere or b) a powerful laptop that is "designed" to go everywhere but in reality is just too heavy to lug around or c) a light powerful laptop that does not weigh on you bag, but weighs heavily on your wallet.

The usual options taken are either A or B, and if the guy is some rich *******, C.

If you choose A, you get a machine that is infinitely upgradable, but you cant really shove it in your bag and forget about it.
If you choose B, its a mobile that is not really mobile
If you choose C, its a powerful mobile that will make your wallet thinner than an aneroxic ^^;

With the netbooks, you have now a D option - a machine that is light, comparably powerful to tote around and yet kind to the wallet. And usually the people who buy this has a main machine so they can extend their productivity away from the main machine. There are people who makes the eee their dedicated machine because it fits what they want - i fell having a Geforce mobile 8800 to present slideshows is just too ....over-the-top haha.

Maybe i'm just rambilng, but the eee is perfect for me, a guy who has a dedicated machine at home to be used in campus. Its small enough that i can use it without making other people annoyed while in lectures. And the battery life is long enough that i can just open, start, work and shutdown without i need to tether and slave myself to find the nearest powerplug.

FYI, i'm typing this with the 701 (YES, 701!) and i dont find any problem with it. I'm still waiting for my 901 to be delivered though because of the atom

weird. the same thing happened to my 701. had to send it back to Asus to change the motherboard, as the 4GB is soldered to the board.

wah....why are you returning your 901?
getting the 1000?
getting a *gasp* acer?
or just tired of the eee in general?
