The only bummer is that the DDR3 ram is upgradeable to 2GB, but not compatible with most brands on the market. You need to contact Asus and ask. Maybe they do sell it.

Although, it runs quite decent for 1GB ram.

If upgrade to 2GB can cause unstable to the netbook.. how true is it? Can anyone who bought this model with RAM upgrade share yours experience. Thanks

yea.. I think 1018P is expensive because of it's fingerprint scanner and slim/macbook-ish design

got myself a 1016p black color though but nice brush metal look

my prayers have been answered, does anyone know when this might be released in Australia? I have been looking around for some time for this and I haven't found it yet .

Anyone travelling over to Australia from Malaysia in the next couple of days and willing to take a gamble on a nice Aussie bloke?

what is the best price for a silver eeepc 1016P in KL?

went to lowyat lunch time, they are selling at 1299, but one guy in forum is selling at 1219 only. just for info..

it's a nice design, thumbs up!
btw, my 1001P's glossy screen sides have scratches after trying to wipe it with tissue...
anyone knows if there's anything i can use to apply on it to remove the scratches?

1016p still USB2.0. How I wish there's a 1015PED in Malaysia...

Really nice looking netbook out there especially the aluminium like finish..

which eeepc model give longest battery life time?? and the price??

1016P ? RM1299 6-cell can reach up to 11 hours ..

anybody can confirm the type of screen on 1016p? Matte or shiny?

Dude it's out already a long time ago...
RRP is 1499 but I think some ppl in forum selling it a bit cheaper...

It's matt i'm using one..i bought for rm1250 with 12 month 0% installment. Free MS wireless mouse. Regarding the battery life i doubt it can last 11 hour. I use to listen to FLAC only last 6-8 hour with external USB sound card +amp. During idle time it do show 9-10 hour.

Quality build i think it's very nice, online rate Asus is top in Net-book. Keyboard not very nice to type, a bit weird feeling. Screen is awesome not reflection just like the old macbook white i use to have (damn the new LCD all the reflection is killing me). Performance i think it's acceptable, if you need something powerful this is not your choice. It's just 10 inch what do you expect. Portability, yes it 10/10 weight about 1.2kg with battery. One thing i dun like about this net-book is the HDD, it's hidden inside. You need to open the whole net-book in order to change the HDD, but for RAM just open 2 screw will do.

Overall i think it's a good option. I compare with HP the battery last 1-2 hour only, Toshiba 3-4, Fujitsu hardly 5 and dell still not as good as Asus claim to be. Why i choose Asus, Price it's not he cheapest i think MSI , Acer and etc have something cheaper, 2nd Battery and Asus having the longest battery life compare with others. It's using dunno what Eee Super Hybrid Engine v2.13. 3rd Asus is the only one offer 0% 12 month installment without extra charges, before this i was looking to get Fujitsu with free EXt DVD writer but they charge me 2% handling free if use CC to pay.

cool bro.. yours what color?

anyone selling off their Asus EEE 900HA? wanna get this one coz it's smaller than 10".. no choice portability very important to me..

i got a silver .

How about the warranty? Global?

i think it's global? where can i check to confirm?
