Been to Low Yat today and have a look at the 1002 HA. One of the sales man told me that the battery is 6 cells. He show me the battery and I noticed that it is 7.4V and 4800mAH.

So
7.4v divided by 3.6 is 2.05 which round up to 2
4800mAH divided by 2200mAH is 2.18 which round up to 2

2x2 is 4 ......?!?!?! so the battery is a 4 cells battery not 6????

no it's not 6 cell

I dont think I've ever turn off my netbook, except in case I spilled something on it. Just let it go to sleep.
Maybe a couple of restarts in a week.

the lowyat person got trick you? some shop very dishonest to tell the truth, some say 6 cell some say 4 cell, but the fact is 1002ha is a 2cell li-poly

its a +7.3V 4200Mah, 2 cell battery only, but this 2 cell actually quite strong..can lasted 3-4hours depending how u use it.

btw...he probably take s101 battery for you to see, which is a 4cell, actually not compatible to 1002ha

Maximp is quite right, some shops are actually dishonest. They exchange a better one for a lower capacity one. Again though, sometimes when you see a claim by the manufacturer that the batteries lasts for more than 5 hours or so and find out they are only 4 cells, it also depends what types of batteries as well as where is it being used on, ie batteries on an Atom processor will definitely last much longer than one on Celeron, on larger screens will be lower than on smaller screens.

It also depends on the power consumption of the machine itself as well other than the more obvious usage of it. Blasting mp3 while bluetooth and wifi on wont help a small machine ( which should have lower capacity ) as opposed to a larger machine running on lower power use, ie normal word on the machine.

You'd see that more often than not, 6 cell batteries should last about 6 hours or much more, this depends on the machine youre using it on as well as how youre using it and the build of the machine in itself. The new Samsung U310 for instance, runs a 6 cell battery and 10.2 inch screen and yet claims a battery life of 11 hours ( in real life should last about 9 hours i think ). So thats a whopping difference from what of that is the normal preception of how many cells in a battery should last.

Nevertheless, it never goes wrong to always insist on getting higher cell batteries of course

Maximp,
I usually reply on weekends too but since I was away in Singapore last weekend I wasnt able to. Tempted to reply while on the go but my laptop ended up being a charger for my Iphone and my buddies Iphone. Sigh..haha.

Penyu3
In any case, over the causeway, after the price throwing of last week of the laptops, the netbooks are back to their old high prices again. The only I went there 2 times in a row during the last month of Feb and the first week of March was to get their Netbooks which price were going lower and lower at the time. Right now Im guessing after the IT Show a week back their prices are back to normal again. For now, the laptops you get here is a better choice in terms of pricing though I hear theres gonna be a huge price slash again middle of April.

What they have there though is more of a humoungous selection and option for Netbooks. Among the more impressive Netbooks were
10.2 Inch LG Notebook with 3G built in.
Dell Inspiron Mini 9 with 3G built in, unlocked and selling at RM1650, thats much better than the Maxis plan one here.
Samsung N110 with 6 cells and 9.5 hours battery life.
HP 1001 Netbook with VGA adapter, yes none of that Proprietory Connector nonsense.

Wouldve gotten me one of the above if money permitted but since I was only there to accompany a buddy of mine to get his Wedding Ring, i didnt spend as much time in the IT centers as I hoped. Lucky too or there goes again a whopping Credit card bill

Agreed, heres what a netbook should be in my personal opinion.
1. Appearance :
It has to look slim. The 901 that I have pushes that quite a bit but it still is slim and only has the appearance of being fat. Netbooks like Asus S101 are very exquisite in that they showcase the epitome of slimness but as with most things if it looks nice but does not function well, it beats the purpose. The Sony Pocket Netbook for instance, gorgeous, expensive, and a trackstick ? Yes you can always use a Bluetooth mouse but hey they should give you one when you buy the laptop The EEBook from FTEC, looks nice but its FAT so that doesnt work with small and nice too.

2. Battery Life :
No matter how you look at it, a Netbook should also be the epitome of battery life with relative comparison to the price. Netbooks need to have the best possible battery life around so 2-4 hours just dont cut it. Unless of course its dirt cheap like the 701's were. Why relative comparison ? Well, theres now Dell Business Laptops as well as HP Business Laptops which boasts battery life from 13 hours to 24 hours running without needing to be recharged. Now while thats is very tempting, the price starts from about RM8k and above which makes a RM1400 netbook with a battery life of 5-6 hours sound like an amazing bargain.

3. Price :
As always it must be relative and it must be cheap. A netbook which costs more than RM2300 is probably isnt worth it if it loses out in the other aspects of what makes a netbook a netbook. I take for instance Sony with their Pocket Notebook, it starts cheapest at about RM2400, it has most of the bells and whistles the other laptop in the market has, its darn thin and slim with a wonderful keyboard, but a pointing stick ? It also lags while I was using it and battery life was not that great. For that price, id expect, free bluetooth wireless mouse, 2gb Ram, Wireless N, Bluetooth and 3G built in.

My 2 1/2 cents.

Yea..absolutely agree with the sony P...i was attracted with the slimness at 1st..but then when those reviews showed it is not using a track pad and it is abt RM2800...it is definitely not worth it...
btw...just curious...samsung and msi are going to release 10" netbook which has more than 9hrs battery life this april but did not see any news abt asus eee having netbook that gonna compete with them...did i miss some news abt asus new netbook???

Battery life is actually relative. Sometimes its the exact same cells used in the same laptops but then its how the motherboard and parts inside which sometimes takes more or less batteries. Another factor would also be what software are used to control the flow of power out of the machine, ie the use of power saving capabilities.

And yes you did. The 1000HE runs 9.5hours on its battery life. So yes EEEPC's part of that pack as well

battery life depend on what u installed in yr netbook. if too many small program such as msn messenger. etc...it will impact the battery life as well.

program that running i think yes but impact wont be that great, i tested several method, the best way to suck up all ur battery is running at full brightness and loudest volume and using at hot places haha

i tested a laptop playing movie with wifi and msn and webcam on = 3hours max

and comparing with just playing same long hours of movie, turning off my wifi and webcam, = 3 hours + 10-15min extra

but when at full brightness....same movie , turning off wifi and everything = 2 hours ++ at max~

oh yeah memory intensive programs might suckup battery a lot, but i think netbook dont have those power to run those anyway.

anyone overlock their eeepc before
if i overlock my eeepc from 630mhz to 900mhz
does that make my eeepc smooth ??

From Asus EEE Hacks



While Asus advertises the current generation Eee PC as having either a 900MHz or 800MHz Celeron processor, depending on which model you buy, the truth is Asus underclocks these chips to run at 630MHz and 570 MHz respectively. This makes sense given the Eee PC’s mediocre battery life. The faster the processor is running, the more electricity it uses and the sooner you run out of juice. But if you want a bit more oomph you might want to look into overclocking or right-clocking your device.

Of course, your battery life will suffer if you run at these higher speeds. And you run the risk of overheating your system. Fortunately Eeectl includes a built in temperature meter so you can keep track of just how hot your system is getting. If you start to approach 65C, it might be time to ramp down your clock speed a bit.

My take is, if youre using the 701 like what im using, Overclocking the Eee is the best way to improve its performance though battery life suffers a whole lot. Ie. Ive done it. Better way is just to slim down the OS. Itll run amazing fast even on 512mb Ram. If you feel you need to upgrade the Ram max you can go is about 2Gb though that has very little effect on the machine, 1gb is sufficient or even 512mb provided youve slimmed down your OS.

Currently one of my EEEPC 701 is running EEEBuntu introduced to me by Emino the threadstarter, I love the performance, though even on Linux running 1gb Ram, its still slower than my 512mb 701 running Slimmed down Windows XP.

I 'm suing 1000H....may i know when full charged, how many hrs show in the taskbar?
Asus claim this model can last 7.5 hrs...

hi all,

just got my 1002ha last friday at pcfair jb. after first full battery charge, they last for 3 hour with SHE on power saving mode, brightness set at 40%, laptop power scheme, bt and webcam off and using it to surf internet using usb modem, also download patchs and anti virus (celcom broadband)

and thats becoz they didn't have 1000he, if not for sure i'll get 1000he

hi all...i'm kinda interested to get this eeepc..
the spec is just fine for me..and lightweight also..
just to ask a few question..besides doing ms office thing..can i run other apps. such as photoshop??flash work??
tq in advance...

Quoting my earlier posting. Note this was posted on this thread sometime ago. Some specs may have changed for the better.

Current Netbooks.

2 x EEEPc 701 - SSD 4GB - 2GB Ram, 16gb AData SDHC
2 x EEEPc 900 - SSD 8 GB - 2GB Ram, 16gb AData SDHC

Interchangeable Bluetooth Receiver, GPS Transmitter, 77whr Battery with the EEEPC 701

1 x EEEPc 901 - HDD 30Gb
1 x EEEPc 1000H - HDD 80 Gb
1 x EEEPc 901GO - HDD 20Gb with 3.5G built in.

I went with the EEEPC's for their lightweight and design and more importantly the SSD's. Now most Ultra Mobiles will pit SSD's ( which are small ) vs their larger capacity HDD's within. Even the 901 which I have uses the 1.8" Sata HDD which gives a space of 30gb vs the others which are all SSD's the largest being 12gb and the smallest being 4gb. Believe me, SSD's are the only way to go. Nothing beats that.

For size comparisons, from what I see the EEEPC takes about the smallest footprint as compared to its similar competitor of the same capacity and size. That being said, yes Im a fan of the EEEPC but not to say Ive nothing good to say about the rest. But if you are going for size, you will see that most the time the EEEPC will be much sleeker than the others. Have you seen how huge in comparison HP 2133 Mini Notebook is ? Or how fat MSI Wind is in comparison to the EEEPC ?

Design wise though I like the look of the Aspire One from Acer. That's just new but those lights at the side and the gloss they go really well together EEEPC has gloss too on the 901 and 1001 but I still prefer the Aspire One look. Perhaps I may trade in one of the Laptops that I have for the Aspire One

Earlier when purchasing my requirements were :

Running on / Can install Windows XP SP2 - Most if not all support that. In fact all my EEEPC's are running a small Modified version of XP SP3 which is taking only about 400mb in install footprint!

Net Surfing, (thus need Wifi and Ethernet support ) - The very essence of an Ultra Mobile PC, we can safely say for both requirements above any UMPC will fit that need.

Watch Movies, ( RMVB, Avi , moderate bitrate, maybe sometimes 720HD or 1080HD, rarely but possible) -
For this part yes most UMPC will be able to fulfill your needs but having the latest Atom Processor EEEPC in the 1001 I can play all movies except sadly for the movies running on 1080HD and 720HD, well they play but not often smooth. So yes they play but you wont get proper playback. Best stick to normal divx at the normal high resolution and not the super high ones.

Play Games, (old school game, Counter-strike 1.6 ) - Playing Warcraft 3 on my old skool EEEPC 701 with 512mb Ram ( All the other ones have been upgraded to 2gb Ram ), Warcraft 3 runs fine on it so safe to say you'd be fine, though playing CS on it may need you to squint a little
Running Diablo 2 on mine now too.

Office works ( MS office) - This goes without saying In Fact MS Office 2007.

Running Garmin GPS on 2 of the UMPC's now. I have Ultra Big Screen GPS for cheap!
All my EEEPC's are running WinXP SP3 fine without problems. Speed is essential and other than my 901 which runs on 30gb SATA HDD all I can say about all of the UMPC that I have is that they run blazing fast.
