Please stated clearly the reason why and how you make your choice.

LENOVO BEST.... GO LENOVO IDEA PAD

i choose lenovo

best in terms of???

features?? after-sales support?? value for money? price performance ratio? price? weight? customer service?

TOSHIBA..

Considering how must people around here give their "recommendations" TS's requirements would most probably be ignored. Most other sites, from my observation, when asked on what is the best, etc, they state why it's so good and the stories that comes with it that makes them think it's so good.

Whereas here, most people would just scream out the Brands, kinda hit and run. Not before long, someone would scream Fujitsu because his friend's uncle's, grandfather's grandniece ........said fujitsu is the best so he/she'd scream that Fujitsu is the best.

My point? Threads like this are all but pointless. Try run a poll on best notebook brand and you'd get Acer being the worst and Toshiba/Fujitsu being screamed as the best, more often than not.

Hi, since you felt that thread like this are all but pointless, any other BETTER way to let members to have better understanding on which netbook to go for.
I noticed that there are a lot of users feedback in THE WORST BRAND in Mobile computing section which i found it quite useful for someone who has no idea which brand to go for.
That's why I start a poll section on Netbook since it is a trend nowadays to have a smaller lappy with us.

hmm. foreign websites then? I mean, I wasn't specifically mentioning that other websites give better recommendations on netbooks, it was in general. Like if you go to engadget and look for the best router, you get proper feedbacks rather than people screaming the Brands out and then nothing.

Sorry to 'pour cold water' on you but from my observation, that's how most thread like these works. I too has no idea on where to get better info on netbooks. Perhaps notebookreview.com?

u r missing TOSHIBA , FUJITSU , IBM n many more notebook brand.

notebookreviews give a better score for acer aspire one tho.. Dell mini 9 cannot change hdd one rite?

i choose eee pc in particular 901 model coz it has the best feature/size combo

the topic said NETBOOK, not NOTEBOOK

Please let me know any netbook from Toshiba and Fujitsu

in terms of price vs functionality factor. I would say Dell Mini9 for sure, it's dxmn cheap compare to others.

toshiba's netbook will be brought in soon, be patient. but still, dun expect the price to be as cheap as mini9.

Asus 1000H !!! =)

Dell mini gets my vote, but I would prefer a higher storage space.

whats a netbook? LoL

Two contender coming, HP Mini Note refresh, temporary known as Mini 1000, and Dell Mini 1210

for the most budget in Malaysia is AAO and Dell Mini 910, where Dell has an edge over the Windows installed, but weird keyboard

vote dell..

dell or lenovo?

Er ? Your choice ?

eeepc, cause i am using it

Lenovo for me

Lenovo, because I just bought one..hehe bias

For me.. Lenovo
Been using it for awhile & nvr regret to have it

i think lenovo more 'tahan' than the dell ....just my personal opinion

hp mini

not owning any of the above, can vote ah?

Well, hp mini using VIA processor.
Not intel.
In terms of ventilation, it's quite bad.
What make you chosed hp mini ?

Your choice.

i voted lenovo

i buy lenovo is because it have Expension-Slot..

There is no one that can fit all .. I bought Lenovo S10 because it has expresscard .. so I don't need to invest on another 3G modem. The appearance is IMHO, much sleeker and the look is much of those higher class machine.. Acer seems to much like a toy .. Dell looks a bit better than Acer, but with SSD, it is limiting the market .. I wonder how many of us could've live with such a tiny winny disk space .. there are too many bloatwares out there.. so.. 160GB is such a nice size to have.

poll like doesnt help buyer choosing the ideal netbook.
instead of blind voting, "if" possible justify too the reason why you getting the selected brand/product, pro and cons. and then ts might just update the information at the front thread.

Dell E means Dell Mini9 ? ...

Asus EEE PC - 1000H . Why ?

The best original netbooks are Asus EEE PC, the rests are clones of EEE PC.

Good argument no? .. if you're talking about netbook, then Asus EEEPC is not the original one .. netbook term coined quite a long time ago by Psion (1999). Asus started the netbook craze in end of 2007 .. by introducing quite a variant of low cost EEEPCs which really confused a lot of people in the market.

Who remembers a failure such as Psion ?

There is no History Book written to say who fail to invent cars, put Human beings on Moon , and who failed to write better softwares than Windows.

Who makes things popular is important !

well,
acer aspire one got my vote.
why?
price damn cheap, design at least for me, its good,
why i'm not choosing dell?
design kinda weird, the extra bout dell is the warranty only.
actualy been worked at Dell factory in penang,
nothing special, just after sales service is better compare to other.

but why I still choose Acer?
maybe, love at first sight.
hehe.

wait for hp mini 1000
using intel atom n270

i want!!

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.

Check out this site:

http://www.liliputing.com/2008/09/how-to-u...am-and-hdd.html

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

ya i know its using VIA but who cares.. its a secondary notebook for surfing, music n stuff like that. but the design is damn nice.. in terms of ventilation i think this is the best of all netbook since the whole chasis is made of aluminium its like a big chunky heatsink hence spread heat faster than any others. though bad is u can feel the heat. btw i dont own a mininote.

Bro, go and have a touch on the mininote before you say something here

Lol, please refer back to what you've typed previously.

" in terms of ventilation i think this is the best of all netbook since the whole chasis is made of aluminium its like a big chunky heatsink hence spread heat faster than any others. though bad is u can feel the heat. "
