How many of you got Asus EEE pc?
-
Just curious.
I am thinking of modding mine. -
I reckon its not worth modding. Asus is considered a 'disposable' brand.
-
My cousin's had an Asus for more than a year now and he's been very happy with it. The trouble is that I doubt it's the same model as yours.
-
thinking of getting....when i've nothing else to get.
-
Faster go and buy it. Damn worth it, can even play Crysis with it. I tried liao!
-
if u want to buy iphone or ipod touch, buy this instead...
-
Mine is running XP . I just need to either 1. Flash the bios or 2. Hope for an upgrade of bios so that I can go buy a 2 gig ram module.
-
Doubt that. This one is the latest and it is very very small with an 8' inch screen. Got it for AUD510 inclusive of extended 3 year warranty in Australia.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:My cousin's had an Asus for more than a year now and he's been very happy with it.

Purrs like a kitten except when I try to run massive stats programs on it. Microsoft office 2003 runs smoothly on 512mb ram -
Oh, those kind of mods. Getting a ram upgrade is a good idea. Flashing the bios isn't.
-
It's quite hard to mod a small PC. I personally have no preference for anything that is micro.
But the specs is good enough for everyday applications, so long as you don't max out its potential. -
yeah I know I risk destroying the bios chip.Originally posted by Really mama?:Oh, those kind of mods. Getting a ram upgrade is a good idea. Flashing the bios isn't.
Maybe after the warranty expires , I will try it . It's kinda cool though - I got a 160gig external drive which stores my other windows software. Kind of exciting. -
LOL, I don't know if you are crazy or something.Originally posted by fymk:yeah I know I risk destroying the bios chip.

fymk..did you get it from DSE?
-
I got it from ebay actually. The guy didn't want his white asus because he got a black eee pc as a gift from his daughter. I was abit suspicious at first but it turned out ok . It is the 7A series which stocks an extra mini pci-e socket that 7B and 7c does not have. He didn't realise the value of it .Originally posted by Really mama?:fymk..did you get it from DSE?
It was from Myers - the price of a new 7B/7C (they don't stock 7a anymore) is 499 minus the extra mini pci-e slot and additional 41.95 for extended warranty. So I guess I got a bargain for the very first time on ebay. -
What can I say - I love my new eee pc . And btw , I am actually using it online to type a response ( with keyboard attached ), of course.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL, I don't know if you are crazy or something. -
DSE was selling Asus EEE with diff specs for around $500. Compared to yours, yours is better with the 160gb hdd. I was really sceptical and I thought it was some old stock from 2-3 years ago that did not managed to sell.Originally posted by fymk:I got it from ebay actually.

Well, good on you. You may pick up more bargains if you searched under 'unwanted gifts, xmas, ex-gf/bf'

Urm my 160 gb harddisk is external drive - excluding the base cost of 510 bucks of my asus. The value of my 4Gb asus eee pc is that it has a second mini PCI e slot. So if the SSD fails , I can slot in another SSD into the second and run it as the primary unlike the 7b/7c ones which cost the same.Originally posted by Really mama?:DSE was selling Asus EEE with diff specs for around $500.

My asus is only 4G , 512 mb ram.
. Mini little play thing. -
god! thats the same model! I thought it was for pre-school or kindy kids since we are now in the IT stage and all that..
um, nvm..as long as you're happy. -
Yes but the 7a series is better than the 7b or 7c series because of that extra mini PCIe slot. And costs the same ! LOL. It is better than an Iphone or an apple ipod in the sense that it costs the same yet it can do more than those two can.Originally posted by Really mama?:god! thats the same model!

Beats paying 3k for a sony VGN -
hanor hanor, also when your dropped it or when it gets spoiled your wallet won't get heartpain. And it only weighs 920grams!
-
I don't think I will be dropping it ...no more 7a series! MY little bao bei now. I expect it to work even after 5 years like my 8 year old IBM notebook.Originally posted by Really mama?:hanor hanor, also when your dropped it or when it gets spoiled your wallet won't get heartpain.

do you expect to do much work on that 7" display and Celeron processor!! A celeron processor!! That is like..so 1997!

If you are just using the PC for doing work and surfing... Windows 95 will do it fine.
-
Of course , you cannot chuck in heavy processing software and expect it to run like an ordinary pc.Originally posted by Really mama?:do you expect to do much work on that 7" display and Celeron processor!! A celeron processor!! That is like..so 1997!

I am using it for research on the go -
