best speaker..

nice wifi coverage

prc wise mebe..

voted for mininote
i like the design

dell..cheap n good and c/w windows already installed..ready to use

had a hard time trying to get DOS to read a USB HDD/USB thumbdrive to install windows on my fren's AAO..cos we're cheapoes who dun wan to buy an external cdrom

normally i'll buy laptops only from established names in msia.. with no warranty seals on every user-upgradeable component eg ram, hdd. established brand is also important.. nanti 3 yrs later wanna buy battery at least its easier to find

If talking design wise, HP is the better netbook manufacturer. Just look at Mini Note and the upcoming Mini 1000. I'm a poser so I like my gadgets sleek so HP gets my vote.

HP netbooks are nice and stylish...however Lenovo got lots of features and more future proof..

does all the voter own any one of the netbook?

Hi bro,
all netbook nowadays comes with Window XP preloaded unless it stated free dos.
Yeap, dell is cheap, but do you realize that the internal memory only 8GB SSD ? You can't do much with the 8GB unless you are using it just for very basic use.

The reason why you having hard time to install window via USB thumbdrive is because the AAO comes with Window Linux, so it doesn't mean Dell is good JUST because of the window XP already preloaded. It applies on all other netbook as well.

Em, may i know how you define established names in Msia ?
With great advertising going on ? Or ?
Most of the product, as long as they can provide you a local manufacturer warranty.
You stil can be able to find back the parts within 10 years after your purchased.
*But for sure it take some times to get it *


Mind to share the features that you find it useful ?
2 USB slot ? 3 cells batteries ?

The ExpressCard slot gives you the option of adding more USB ports, Firewire, eSATA, or any number of other ports to the S10. More importantly, the ExpressCard slot makes it easy to add a broadband modem to the S10.

Second, the S10 has built-in Bluetooth.

Easy to upgrade RAM, and hard drive. (Some of the netbooks require complex disassembly in order for you to get to the storage drive, system RAM, or wireless cards)

Em, i never know that expresscard slot can enable us to adding more ports, firewire and eSATA
How much it will cost then ?
Well, most of the broadband modem uses USB slot instead of Expresscard slot nowadays... Well, this would be a credit for S10.

So far only S10 has built-in bluetooth among all netbook ? I noticed that Eee pc1000 having it as well.

Well, easy to upgrade RAM and hard drive ? That's funny
Nowadays for all new models, all RAM and hard drive are easy to upgrade, totally different with last time.
Just open the cover, then you can see where is the Ram and the HDD.
If you can able to give some comparison between other model, it would be better since you just stated some of the netbooks.

Please correct me if im wrong.

Thanks for the information

But anyhow I personally stil felt that its easy to upgrade RAM or HDD on other models as well, for eg Eee pc 1000.

Have a nice day

MSI wind gets my vote but for small 10.6" I would go for for a Fujitsu P7120 or P7230 old but gold

I've used a P7120 before.. batterylife was superb at 5-hours with Wifi surfing

currently i would say that the lenovo s10 is good ...

but the hp mininote 1000 should be a good buy as well when its launched ...

Currently, there is no particular netbook that really stands out although Asus appears to be the brand of choice. The ideal netbook should have a spacious keyboard (like HP 2133), six-cell battery, a 10-inch screen and a 160GB HDD. Otherwise, a sub-1.8kg 12-inch notebook for about RM2,500 is still a better buy.

Consumers like you and me will be spoilt for choice with the new line-up of netbooks in the coming months plus a price tag that has a real wow factor. And by then, we will ask ourselves - why are we paying more than RM1,500 for a perceived premium mobile phone or PDA phone?

Mobile phone operators, by then, will have to go the extra mile to win customers with contract phone packages like our counterparts in other countries are enjoying.

my vote goes to dell, partly because im one of the proud owner of it. yeah, 8gb maybe bother to some people, but hey, this is netbook. it doesnt need big storage. it doesnt need powderful processing power. it just need something that can make it durable. and because the price is one of the cheapest netbook, dell is the best for me. with extra bluetooth and webcam, damn, i wonder if there any other netbook can get this cheap price.

Lol, I have found one netbook which can fulfil ur requirement.
Eee PC 701 selling at RM 599 on previous IKANO promotion.
Small SSD, Moderate processing power, comes with linux but able to put in Window XP because the XP drivers is included, durable, integrated with wifi, 3 USB ports, VGA output and card reader =)
The only thing that it doesn't comes with is Bluetooth, but my solution would be You pay another RM15 to get a external bluetooth adapter =)

Total up will cost you RM614.
Cheaper than your dell =)

If not promotion, it will cost RM799 + RM 15 = RM 814 =D

8gb is plentiful lah, on a netbook unless u start downloading helluva illegal torrents.
Last time the hassle of finding a suitable battery for my fren's asus 2yr old laptop makes me not gonna consider it at all
Acer, as i heard is overzealous with warranty stickers over the ram, hdd, etc. - out of consideration
Dell was able to get me a battery for a P3 inspiron after many years easily

For me, I'm still insist to HP since this one very portable and got express port which is easy for me to put either CF card reader or IEEE connector

And the price nowadays also quite good

when offer worth it for rm 599....if not not that worth it....

i vote for HP = enough space / fast

i tried eee pc = too small space
aspire one = small space also / slow
