ya..will release on next month Pc fair.

I wonder the Asus EeePC 1000HE comes with Pink?
Wanna get 1 for gf

You can go for S101H if you want to buy pink color ^^
Limited ya.

Anyone knows....what is the promotion for Asus Eee PC in this coming PC Fair?

got pink color..but malaysia only bring black and white only...
pink is hot selling color at taiwan

Haiya....looks like what we see in Singapore Fair....is not wat we are getting in Msia. I think i just go for anything available.

The other color choices will probably be sold in the upcoming pc fair though.

To new eee users, I would like to say welcome to the thread. Sorry for not updating the eee owner listings in a while, I've been extremely busy these past few days.

Will try updating it later this evening.

will you put me for 1000HE(black) bro emino?

Hey, i just got myself the 1000H. I got the 5600mah battery that budges out from the back of the netbook. Anyway, i just read online that the 5600mah is a 4 cell battery pack and rated at 5.5 hours, is this correct? Because it's been advertised everywhere that it comes with a 6 cell battery. Even my notebook had a sticker that said 7 hours battery life.

The main reason i chose asus was because of read reviews about the battery lasting longer than the acer one and the reason i got the 1000H over the 1002HA was because the latter had a 4 cell batt instead of the 6 cell. Now i feel cheated

Those of you who have the 5600mah battery, what's your typical battery life.

Appreciate the input

6 cell one is 6600mah if not mistaken. i donno u got cheated or not. maybe this battery version was released at the time when the 6 cell was out of stock

i wanna to but a mini labtop...
kinda wanan to find out 12 in better or 10 in better

my usage is mostly doing presentation
any frens here got opi nion

Someone mentioned in this forum that the battery that budges out is the newer 5600mah one. But if the battery capacity has dropped from 6600mah, asus shouldnt be saying 7 hours batter time rite? Although i understand under normal operations the netbook wouldn't last that long.

6600mah = 7 hours
5600mah = 7 hours also?

ajaya67, u using 1000H?

no but i understand your predicament.
i'm eyeing 1002HA actually, or 1000HE if it appear in coming pc fair. i don't like bulging batteries

That someone was me, and if you looked youll find there was also pictures accompanying the claim.
Of course here's also much more info to help you along.

Im sure this will help a lot of you folks with your battery predicament. Firstly what you need to do is to understand what type of lithium cell batteires are used in laptops.
Lithium based battery cells are good but there are a variety of lithium based battery cells. For example the lithium based cell identified as 18650 is one of the most common battery cell on the market for laptops. 18650 is manufactured by many manufacturers including many private branded companies to public companies like LG, Sony, Sanyo, Samsung, Panasonic. Other lithium batteries which are made for phones, PSP's and other devices will vary.

18650 is a 3.6V cylindrical Li-Ion cell. 18650 has no memory effect and longer storage life than NiMH battery cells.
18650 is light weight and has a high energy density. It is in effect perfect for building batteries for laptop as as such is being used in a whole lot of laptops primarily the Asus.

The additional technical specifications for the 18650 battery cell include:

* Nominal Voltage Average 3.7 V – the concept of nominal voltage is that voltage range exists depending on the number of cells in the battery.
* Nominal Capacity - 2200 mAh (above 2200 the stability of lithium based cells is called into question)
* • Max. Charging Current - 2.4 Amps Max.
* • Max. Discharging Current - 4.6 Amps max.
* • Dimensions (DxH) 18.3 mm (Max 18.4) x 64.9 mm (Max 65.1)
* • Weight 46.5 g (1.64 oz)
* Internal Impedance Internal Impedance: less or equal to 90 ohms
* Cycle Performance is 80% of initial capacity at 300 cycles

Now as stated above the you wanted to know how come an average 6600mah and 5600mah last 7 hours at the same time ?
This might actually be because they are both the same 6 cell batteries.
The mah needs to be coupled with the volts that comes out of the battery. Its not only a matter of mah's.

Oh Emino, ive added in my Arsenal another 2 units of 901GO and one unit of S101 for the wife.
9", 20GB SSD with 3.5G built in. The S101 is per normal specs.
Do add them to the list if you can

Right now, for both those new units, one of it I have a battery rating of 7.4V with 6600mah while the other was 8.4V with 5600mah.
When i first got the 5600mah I was not pleased thinking there i was being scammed. A little bit of research revealed otherwise.

As I mentioned above the nominal voltage average is 3.7V. Some manufacturers may use 3.6V and some may use 3.7V. In the case of a laptop battery with 7.4V the nominal voltage rating used is 3.6V.
Thus if we divide 7.4V by 3.6V we get roughly 2.
Thus 2 cells in a series.
We also know that the batteries capacity is 6600 mAh. We know the nominal capacity is 2200 mAh. Therefore if we divide 6600 mAh by 2200 mAh then we get 3 in parallel.

Therefore we have 2 cells in series X 3 cells in parallel equals 6 cells in total. And voila 6 cells battery!

For the second one, its easy 8.4V divided by 3.6 and you get roughly 2.33 .
Then go 5600mah divided by 2200mah and you get 2.54. Have them together 2.33 x 2.54 and you get a rough 5.9 Cell Battery.
Usually translated to the nearest number which would also make it 6 cells

I for one got the second battery changed though just for the sake of it.

Hopefully this info helps you folks

using my new eeepc 1000h for almost a week. never regret to have it.

design = 8/10
battery = 9/10 (after seeing 1000he, 9.5hrs) drop 1 point....
screen = 9/10 (very clear)
touchpad = 9/10 multitouch is good for browsing while u on the go.. but abit sensitive...
bundle software = 7/10 (star writer too slow to be loaded), looking for alternative.
material = 7/10 (too many finger print on surface), anyway i don't mind..

Updated.

havocx, please adopt me and gimme some eees. lol

Haha let me help you bring up your points a lil

design = 8/10 : a lil bit on the fat side eh, but it does help in the sense it feels sturdier than most of the others in the market.
battery = 9/10 (after seeing 1000he, 9.5hrs) drop 1 point.... : a visit to the aftermarket to get you a 12000 mah battery will help you in a long way to win the war.
screen = 9/10 (very clear) : Also non glossy reflective screen which helps in seeing the screen in daylight.
touchpad = 9/10 multitouch is good for browsing while u on the go.. but abit sensitive... : Wireless mouse! Nano connectors or go wild and get Bluetooth mouse!
bundle software = 7/10 (star writer too slow to be loaded), looking for alternative. : Youre running Linux ? Try Emino's suggestion on eeeBuntu or go WinXP and run Office 2K3. Amazing load times.
material = 7/10 (too many finger print on surface), anyway i don't mind.. : Cant be helped with them dark colours. Which is why I took White for mine, no more Fingerprint marks.

Haha emino thanks!
Adoption slots full for now, traded in some of the old ones for the new 901GO's.
Still thinking of the Acer Aspire but after comparisons again and again Im still sticking to EEEPC's for now.
Ill perhaps do a side by side comparison with the latest Aspire with 3.5G vs EEEPC with 3.5G
Cant afford to get 1000HE just yet, though using some of my Batts im sure I can go just as long on the hours as that model.
Now, if only it came in 3.5G then maybe ill jump on the bandwagon.

hmm is it possible to change my eeepc 4g
into 160gb harddisk ??
and does anyone face any problem using eeepc 4g with window 7 ( 2gb ram ) ????

bro havocx,
thanks for helping to explain in detail.
I'm using win xp with kingsoft 2009. amazing load time. smaller file size if compare with MS Office 2003. Only 50MB++ only...
