sulatanmoko Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 hehe.. I'm currently here at starbucks at araneta gateway. i've just got an asus eee laptop. what can I say?!? pagkabili ko ay iniwan ko na sa car yung box, bought the charger and put the laptop inside my travelling bag (shoulder bag). pagupo ko dito and connected the wifi.. boom! surf agad. may group of students behind me that keep on looking my way, i can even hear them talking about how small, slick, and sexy this unit is. bwahahaha.. there's a guy with an HP laptop at the couch who can't stop looking at me too. ang liit talaga ng asus laptop! the touchpad is also surprisingly easy to use (as compared to my neo laptop). medyo naninibago nga lang ako sa keyboard (medyo maliit and I've got fat fingers but I am starting to get the hang of it as I am typing this. nakakapanibago lang ang position ng right shift key because nasasapawan siya ng arrow keys). this is a good traveling laptop, good for browsing, chatting, and checking of email. and did I say how cute, sleek, and sexy it is? hehe. I'm going to go up later and have it gmasked. ok ah. nakaka-engganyo na talagang bumili! i heard sa HK 15k lng 'to. how's the webcam? can u use it sa ym or u have installed xp to use it?

I had to change it to XP because the wireless network at my gf's building is blocking skype. :thumbsdownsmiley: and yes, the webcam is surprisingly clear; clearer than the webcam on my neo laptop (0.3 lang pala ang camera neto, not 1.3).

pogi1119 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Coupled with a really small projector, this is a great tool for presentations in terms of transportability. Plus the fact it uses solid-state technology for the HD (although still expensive). However, my threshold for getting this is that it should be at least 70% cheaper than the cheapest full size laptop available for at least the 4Gig version. But overall, it is in my top wishlist. Just fyi, my office mate was able to run XP O/S via USB (although I wonder why he did that because Linux is less virus prone) and is now studying the possibility of running MAC O/S.

MS word and MS office sorry, ha i was hoping someone with patience can kindly explain this to me thanks again Bro, I have a friend who gave this laptop to his wife as a gift last christmas. Since the wife regularly does powerpoint presentations, he got this so that the his wife doesn't have to lug their other big laptop around and she loves it. I think what she does is that she prepares her presentation in the other PC (which I'm supposing is faster) and saves the presentation in an SD card. Then she goes to her presentations with this Asus, which has a slot for an SD card, and uses this in connection with the projector. Quote Link to comment

dokagaw Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 This eeepc is great! I've been using this for 3 months now! No regrets! Meron pang skype and wi fi installed that I find very handy pag nasa airport and biyahe ako. Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) you can run all MS office apps via OpenOffice in the eeepc...no problem there with compatibility so far... next to portability and convenience, a plus factor for getting one is the price (and yes, while there are now a slew of UMPCs out in the market, nothing IMHO can still beat asus with its eeepc) our office has now ten (10) eeepcs in use, six blacks, three whites, and one pink...

Kaneki_Ken Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 di ba sold out na to?? any particulars na nagbebenta pa ng ganitong pC? Quote Link to comment
Guest lustfortravel Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 This eeepc is great! I've been using this for 3 months now! No regrets! Meron pang skype and wi fi installed that I find very handy pag nasa airport and biyahe ako. i'm curious - how do you get internet access while in the airport? are you using smartbro? i also use my asus for travels since it is lighter. my presentations are already stored in a flash disk anyway.
