bought 701 for almost a year for my wife... but i'm using it the most ... really like how portable it is since I use it during my travels all the time..

finally saw a model that I like and want 2 buy for myself 900HA;

Intel Atom, 8.9", 160GB, 4 cell Batt (last up to 5hrs), smaller casing like 900 not like 904HD/ 1000H bulky, weighs only 1.1+kg

from net, price is US$ 329 equiv to less than RM1,200. Reviews said it was cheaper than aspire one.

but when checked at stores @ LYP, dissappointed that the price is $1,599... one store discount $1,499. That's more than 30% more expensive than international market

ASUS Malaysia selling so much expensive, even my 701 was priced close to international market price at the time US$400 selling here $1,300

maybe ASUS Msia think msian consumers are stupid not checking prices on internet

now considering others, unless 900HA price goes down...

no rush in getting one, with the current bad economy hopefully more discounts in coming months

you're saying only 900HA got RM400 profit margin or tax??

how come other models like 904 and 1000 price difference less than RM300??

I think ASUS msia just want bigger margin for the latest model


for comparison; Acer Aspire One and Lenovo S10 official price in msia is about the same as other international markets

just checked today at sunway... 900HA price dropped $100.... to $1499

was also impressed with 1002HA.... really nice looking netbook... may wait for this to further drop in price, maybe during next pc fair

amunriel where u bought your 1002? extra $29 for the 2GB upgrade is quite good deal... some stores asking for full price of 2GB stick $70-80
