Mini Laptops


Recommended Posts

quick question. is it sturdy? I don't mean it to be sturdy enough to be tossed around. generally sturdy. I have an Asus A8Jseries and D***, one of the hinges cracked by itself in less than a year. no bumps, didn't even leave my table for the whole time. broke off by itself. another experience is that my brother in law had his cracked case near the lcd monitor. just below the lcd. didn't drop it didn't do nu'tin to it. What sucks more is that its not covered by the warranty. Its not considered as a factory or design defect.

Just wanted to toss out a warning, something is wrong with asus nowadays. don't really trust their stuff anymore.

i agree that asus Eee is attractive only if the price stays low enough to make you feel better going the asus way rather than toying with a regular laptop. did some backreading but i could not still figure out if MSOffice 2007 will run on a stock 4GB model. Has anyone tried and tested XP Pro and Office 2007 on 4GB model yet? Looks to me (has not proven it yet) that this combination will be good only on a regular laptop. I hope however that this combination turns out well also on the 4GB asus Eee model. Anyone tried this yet?

 

I bought another Eee PC in taiwan for my sister for just around P14,200. I was supposed to get her the version without the webcam (same specs everything they said, except for the webcam) for just P11,500, but my sister ym's a lot so I got her the more expensive one instead. It came bundled with the Chinese Linux software but the store offered to change it to the Enlish Linux version for free. However, I still got the Chinese manual and software (for drivers, etc). But I really don't care since I had XP Pro installed in it when I got back. The Chinese software drivers installs the Chines Linux version but it's interface is English so installing all the necessary drivers is no problem.

 

I don't really like the new MSOffice 2007 so I had Office 2003 installed on both the Eee PC I purchased together with XP Pro.

 

I will soon experiment and install Ubuntu on my Eee PC in the next few days.

 

P18,000 here for the Eee PC is a bit too expensive. I probably can make some money selling Eee PC on eBay here. :thumbsupsmiley: Usually go to Taiwan every month.

Dami second hand laptops for 10-15K with better specs than the Asus Eee Laptop. Bat kaya ganoon? Napakadali para sa yuppie na bumili ng 25K na cellphone pero kung laptop na may masmadami kang magagawa ay magdadalawang isip pa. hehe. Naalala lo tuloy ang Nokia 6630 ko. 25K bili ko noon dati. Syempre para hindi magalit si misis bumili din ako ng Nokia Ngage para sa kanya. Di na namin pinag isipan yung cost, that time. basta bumili na lang kami. Pero ngayon nagbabalak ako bumili ng laptop todo research ko sa internet haha! :-)

 

 

sir suggestion lang po, you could try ordering from Dell online you can customize your laptop from memory to screen size.... and it's Dell... if your on a tight budget I'd go for Blue Technologies Laptops same features as leading brands but cheaper price :thumbsupsmiley:

Boss Bizman, sa tingin ko meron din dyan na gusto brand new laptop nila. Also, very small and portable itong Eee PC compared to other second hand laptops. I was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and saw a lot of girls (schoolgirls) using Eee PC. So mukhang popular din ito sa mga babae.

BizMan says "Dami second hand laptops for 10-15K with better specs than the Asus Eee Laptop..."

 

I think this laptop may serve a need that others cannot.

 

In my case, I want it to be my travelling pc. My current laptop with all its bells and whistles just isn't as light as I want it to be, esp. with the advent of much smaller ones like the Asus Eee.

 

So, can anyone tell me if this could be bought from the duty free stores in the Taiwan Inter'l Airport selling electronic gadgets?

May premium talaga ang small form factor. Daming critics pero ang dami ring sobrang tuwa sa kanya (isa na ko dun). I think Asus got the size just right, i can type on it comfortably although i would love a bigger screen. I see it as an internet appliance that also happens to be a laptop. Sana maglabas ng version for the power user :)

imho. if the price of the 8GB unit is around 24k-28k, then i can get a unit (e.g. Compaq, etc.) with minimum specs (e.g. Celeron with around 60 GB DASD and around 512 of RAM) with the same price, then i would be settling for the latter.

 

But if the cost is still below 20k for the 8GB unit, then this is a better alternative than getting a second hand unit because of the price, warranty and portability.

same case with me. i love my Mac but when i go abroad, i normally handcarry other stuff besides my laptop so i would prefer something light which i can just pack in my overnight case. it's really not my main laptop anyway- just something to use to stay connected with people back home.
