well, then that's very bloody amazing then

post up your settings:

OS:
Anything turned off?: BT? Ethernet?
SHE setting?

edit: on a side note, was watching a video on my HE last night @ 12am, fell asleep with the thing on. Woke up at 6am and it was still up and running. Didn't check how much batt life left tho.



another thing:

Windows' battery meter is rather inaccurate in calculating real battery life.

OS Win XP
She at Auto
Wifi ON
Everything else like webcam, bluetooth all OFF

Screen abt 70%

I normally don't rely on the battery meter, i rely on my watch! 9am to 5pm.

I think for its price, it is worth it lah. The Wind U115 maybe the ultimate but then again, I think that will be RM2000 plus. A bit crazy to spend that much of money on a netbook.

For that price its completely worth it not the best most perfect but yes itll do.
A perfect netbook for me by order of importance would be one that is
1. Has a battery life of 9 hours or more.
2. Weighs less than 1kg.
3. Has 3G modem and / or GPS built in.
4. Thinner or as thin as the Aspire AOD250, the AOD150 is a little thicker than AOD250.
1008 Series completes the profile.
5. And having brought many versions of the netbook around, it has to again be lighter than 1kg.
6. Not cost more than RM1200.

Personal preferences of course.

My turn:

1. More or equal to 9 hours (realistic usage, wifi on etc.)
2. 1.45kg is fine with me.
3. 3g Modem a must
4. As long not thicker than average notebook
5. Pricing is impossible in Malaysia with all the markup, so RM1500-1600
6. ION platform
7. HDMI
8. Higher Res (1280x720 or 1366x768)
9. No more Elantech touchpad, Synaptic is fine.
10. Play CRYSIS! (lol j/king)

my next dream netbook :

1. 1.2 kg max
2. 9" screen
3. touch screen, tablet style
4. <5 hrs bat is good enough
5. price <1.5k is fine

Where can I get 1000HE for the price RM1499 in Melaka?

mine almost same like urs..
but i dun mind the screen to be 10"..

hmmm...no such problem woh on mine, maybe you install something leh,, go recover to fix it, still got probs then claim warranty...

Actually ajay67, your next dream, notebook is not so much a dream technically speaking.
Since you didnt mention any Atom based processor, consider the 900HA.
1. Its 750grams and with additional long life battery it will be under 1.2kg
2. Already with 9 inch screen.
3. Mods for touchscreen which are very easy to do costing about RM300 already available.
4. A 12000mah battery will be about RM250, that battery will give you a runtime of 5.5 hours. Amazing considering the 900HA is running celeron which we know is not as efficient as the Atoms.
5. With 12000mah batts, touchscreen mod, it will be exactly RM1500 considering the 900HA is selling at RM899
Shall we then see your dream notebook actually becoming a reality anytime soon ?

The installation of Vista that you're using, by any chance is it the VLited version or some version youve streamlined ? By default, the drivers are inbuilt into Vista, works everytime on my 901 or 900 machine. Works even on my 701 machine though Vista is then installed on the SDHC. Oh and in case you havent noticed, for Vista, the webcam is pasted by default on the desktop unlike in XP where you would search for it in Control Panel, do let us know if that works out for you.

That model is the highest end of all netbooks for now. Its not actually even considered a netbook because of its processing prowress and its dedicated Graphic card. A few forummers on this thread has the machine, look at the posts before.

Since youre in the EEEPC Thread, ill only be able to advise you from the EEEPC viewpoint.
First youll need to know what you need it for since most Netbooks are pretty much the same, so let us know here, but here's a summary. All are assumed to be running XP

1. For super light super fast super cheap computing at the cost of battery life - EEEPC 701, 7inch screen, 4gb SSD and 2 1/2 hours battery life.

2. For super long battery life bigger screen - EEEPC 1000HE, 10inch, 80gb HDD, 8 hours battery life.

3. Balance of both with an added 3G support for always on the go computing - EEEPC 901GO, 9 inch screen, 5 1/2 hours battery life. Not currently available in Malaysia though.

4. Super slim, big screen - EEEPC 1002, EEEPC S101, 10 inch screen, super thin, 4 1/2 hours battery life.

5. Money to burn - N10JC - 10 inch, Dedicated 256mb 9300GS NVidia Graphics Card, HDMI output, External DVDRW and the works. But its also the most expensive out of all the netbooks out there, so much so that its out from the netbook definition, well my definition at least in that its expensive. Netbooks should always be cheap in my opinion.

To help you further along here's a rough idea. Look especially at the 3D Mark result.

Notebook PCMark05 Score
ASUS N10 (1.60GHz Intel Atom, Intel GMA 950) 1,531 PCMarks
ASUS N10 (1.60GHz Intel Atom, NVIDIA 9300M 256MB) 1,851 PCMarks
ASUS Eee PC 1000HA (1.60GHz Intel Atom, Intel GMA 950) 1,527 PCMarks
ASUS Eee PC 901 (1.60GHz Intel Atom) 746 PCMarks
ASUS Eee PC 900 (900MHz Intel Celeron M ULV) 1,172 PCMarks
ASUS Eee PC 701 4G (900MHz Intel Celeron M ULV) 1,132 PCMarks

3DMark06 comparison results:

Notebook 3DMark06 Score
ASUS N10 (1.60GHz Intel Atom, Intel GMA 950) 73 3DMarks
ASUS N10 (1.60GHz Intel Atom, NVIDIA 9300M 256MB) 1,417 3DMarks
ASUS Eee PC 1000HA (1.60GHz Intel Atom, Intel GMA 950) 95 3DMarks
