Asus Eee PC ultraportable laptop

  • mysteriously enough, i havnt seen anyone using it yet haha, tambak na lng ba sa bahay? :)
  • yan din pinagtatakahan ko...ako naman, medyo busy sa work kaya bihira makapag-surf sa labas / mall. usually, limited sa office lang yung exposure ng EEE ko. XD

    sino na nakakita ng EEE ng iba? hahaha
  • I have seen a lot in Starbucks Dasma.
    Boy and Girl using the EEE as a reason to be very close to each other because the display is small... LoL!
  • me too. my gf\'s and colleague\'s eee. nung nakita nila gamit ko, ayun nagbilihan ang mga mokong :) para tuloy piso isa ang eee.. gusto ko nga pa paint ng ibang kulay para maiba dating ng sa akin. kaso ma void daw warranty pag pina pintura. i actually talked to someone already who can do it :) abang abang muna konti..

  • Sources at touch panel and related component makers have revealed that companies are currently having their products undergo sampling with Asustek Computer in bids to win orders for next-generation Eee PCs which are set to launch later this year.

    The second-generation of Eee PCs will support panel sizes of 8-, 9- and 10-inch, the sources said, of which, the 9-inch panel versions will feature a touch panel.

    The 9-inch touch panel-equipped Eee PCs will adopt four-wire resistive touch screen technology. The expected bill of materials (BOM) to add touch panel functions is under US$15

  • ang sarap mag-DOTA sa eee pc! hehehe
  • fyi, for asus\' distributors, they are planning to package eeepc with their regular notebook, meaning if a distributor or reseller wants to buy an eeepc, they need to get a regular notebook as well.

    Guess what that will do to the prices!

    - that would be a very good argument with Asus International to allow us direct importation :-)
    No letter to that effect received from Asus to this time.

    --------

    sir ask ko lng po, nung nag install ka ng win xp using flash drive, is it like installing an win xp using cd? and did you copy the whole installer into the flash drive?

    ilan gig ang kinonsume nya after installing win xp?

    regards.
  • question sa mga nag-XP sa eee pc, would keeping the 800x480 resolution mean lampas lampas ung ibang windows sa screen? Or would windows adjust to the resolution... I\'ve read about squeezing the resolution but I don\'t believe it\'d look as good if the native reso was kept. any advise? (na delay ung final pay ko so I\'ve got 2 more weeks to decide... to buy or not to buy) :D

    TIA
  • would keeping the 800x480 resolution mean lampas lampas ung ibang windows sa screen?


    yups :) may mga window na ndi mo maclick yun buttons :( pero may app na moveme pede mo magamit yun
  • or just try tabbing and guess what button it is :)
    or alt and letter o for ok or alt and letter c or a ata for cancel haha its pure experimentation :)
  • yups :) may mga window na ndi mo maclick yun buttons :( pero may app na moveme pede mo magamit yun

    ------------------------------------

    sir anong name ng application na yan?
  • yung windows na may hindi kang ma-click na buttons for windows OS lang or for the xandros OS also (and other *nux OSes)?
  • @clinton

    I\'m interested in one, to test it out.
  • same resolution lang ba ung everex and eeepc? or native ang 800x600 sa everex?
  • u can just buy the sdhc cards for increase in eee slots, theres 16gb now...which regretably came too late as i bought the 8gb already...

    but for me the main point is the eee\'s design...eee really already has a good design, except for the colors which men can never use aside from black and white...
  • ^hey bro count me in if ever you\'ll sell the everex, i wonder if it comes in a diff color though. the bigger storage matters a lot and i\'m no longer enthused with the eee, ang tagal ng 8G.
  • @clinton1675,
    Please share with us your experience if and ever you get the unit
    1. VIA C7®-M Processor ULV - Via Chipsets are know as battery hog and over heating.
    2. 30GB Hard Disk Drive - must be ATA which consumes more battery than SSD
    3. VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics - Dual Display possible?
    4. 4-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery - Please advise battery life with the 4-cell and the Via Tandem
  • parang cons lahat :( except for the storage... coming from a laptop guru, must mean something :) i didnt mean to burst your bubble mga sirs :) proud and content owner of e3 :)

    it\'s up to you. depends upon your needs/wants. is the next version worth the wait? would the present version sufficiently meet your use of it?
  • one more q about the everex... meron ba supplier dito? just in case may sira... do you have to ship it off to the u.s. to fix it? :(
