Where is your source for this info? I want to know...going to get this when it launch.

ah..thanks! Means 1 more month to go. Will start eating bread now. Drink less starbucks/coffeebean. Each McDonald's for lunch RM5.95.

LOL..just joking...i do eat bread almost everyday for breakfast.

As for starbucks/coffeebean...I kinda addicted. Already drinking 2-3 times a week.

Hell yeah...hope it's below RM2000. But now another dilemma. Asus's new eee keyboard PC also very attracting with release date around june and price around RM2200.

Damn...like that will never end waiting.

they sure are taking their own sweet time to arrive in malaysia.

Now, competitions are already catching up. With new models from Asus and Samsung.

I might get Samsung n10 cause it almost like this 2140. Just see what's available during pc-fair.

the one with ambank promo at 1299 is 3cell or 6cell batt?

Also, to those using 2140 now, is the laptop hot? Cause I heard people say the mini1000 is very hot.

no one has confirmed whether the offer by ambank is 3-cell or 6-cell. This is very important cause I don't want 3-cell unit. Will only apply for ambank card to get if it's 6-cell with the price 1299.

like that I better wait leh..i don't want to waste money on the 3-cell. I want to buy just the one with 6-cell. Maybe wait for pc fair.

what number to call please? I must have missed it from previous post. I am interested to order also.

there are no official price yet as it is not launched in malaysia yet. Only a pre-launch where it is being sold to ambank credit card holders. It is sold at RM1399 to ambank card holders. Said to be rm300 cheaper than market rate. So, market price should be rm1699. And I estimate street price should be rm1599.

day after day, HP malaysia is taking their own sweet time to bring in this model. My interest to this has really gone. I am getting whatever available in this coming pc fair. Probably a lenovo s10 or asus eee 1000HE.

HP don't know how to take advantage of PC fair. Bad marketing manager.

It's probably an oldschool marketing manager who uses conventional marketing strategy. In this internet era, it's more important to gather information from the internet. Working people now, generally need to be more internet savvy. A lot of their work and information gathering is moving towards the internet. You can't believe everything on the internet but it's a great tool to gather information and analyse it towards your advantage. I am certainly not in the line of marketing. This is just my own observation, perhaps there are other factors to consider which I am not aware. But hell, PC market now is so competitive, 2 month difference is a lot of difference. Singapore already launch in 1 March, don't understand why they only launching in May (not confirmed yet maybe delay again).

One good example of bringing in products late, look no further but the iphone. Maxis took too long to bring it here. I heard from insider that the response for iphone is not good. That's because those who want one most probably already owned it. They are targetting the highend market where people can afford to pay RM3000 for a phone. If they can afford, they already buy from blackmarket don't need to wait for them to bring in.

ask you mom to call and said if not approve by this week then cancel the application. I am sure you will get the card few days later.
