[KERSMcRae]

Next year pa sana ko balak kumuha ng netbook.

But there might be a possiblity that I need to get one earlier, maybe by 2nd week of September.

Nag-canvass na ko sa Megamall Cyberzone. My choices are in this order:

1. MSI (U123HW or U160).
2. Asus
3. Lenovo

Any feedback ("reviews") from those who already tried these? TIA

Now, that is a great deal!

I just placed an order for a 1005PE from Amazon and it's equivalent price is P13K+...

Yep, still using and very happy with my MSI wind with upgraded RAM (2 Gig). Nasira na yung isa pa pero it was a shared unit. I guess one of the sharers destroyed the darn thing -- pasalamat siya 6 years old lang siya. hahaha.

[ghosthunter]

They had 100 units of Asus 1005ha netbooks pala when they started the sale.

Today, there was less than 10 units left.

if you can wait, lots of stuff are coming out next year from hp, samsung etc.

samsung is coming out with galaxy tab, ipad type running on android. looks cool and its going to be cheaper than ipad.

Lenovo S10-2 is still a pretty good netbook although generally Lenovo S10 units are priced more expensively than other brands with similar specification..

Pag sinabi ba na 2 Gig sa netbook ay 2 X 1Gb RAM or 1-PC 2 Gb na?

whoa, ang bilis naman. Sa Ortigas Center kasi ang location ng trabaho ko. There will be a possibility na ipadala kami sa ibang bansa for 3-4 months kaya nagwi-windowshop pa lang ako. I will buy using credit card (installment).

you're right sir. more pricey sya compare sa iba. maganda kasi reviews thats why... pero IMO bang for the buck yung S10-3 na tablet. parang IPAD tho parang lang naman

*KERSM

AFAIK eh pag sinabing 2GB eh 1 pc sya na 2GB. Isa lang ang slot ng common na netbooks AfAIK. CMIIW tho.

Upgrade ours for 2.5kphp. pero binigay samin yung 1GB na original na nakakabit sa unit.

[safeorigin]

hmmm... gotta get me one of those tablet pc's

good thing my cousin sells them for 9k petot

Generally with netbooks it is just one slot (although there are other units with the first 1GB of ram soldered directly on the motherboard).

If you are still planning to buy one at the warehouse sale, i wouldn't think you would find an Asus 1005HA left. And they only accept cash for the special warehouse sale. Sale ends Aug 31.

Anyway, even at regular prices (around P18k to P20k), the Asus EEE 1005 is a good netbook. The current models are 1005PA or PE (i think) but the general specs are similar, 10 hour battery life, 1gb ram, 10 inch LCD and usually 250gb HDD now (160gb on the older model 1005HA) and comes with Windows 7 Starter.

The bigger keyboard makes typing easier too.

Made in China units? I think I have seen similar being sold in V-Mall. The specs are basically a netbook without the keyboard.

Iyan ang masama dahil almost all, one slot lang for the memory... Kaya pag nag-upgrade ka sa 2GB,- tapon ang 1GB na memory mo....

Another difference, I think,- it uses another variant of the Atom processor....

Lenovo. Of all the netbooks i've owned (Acer One, Lenovo S10, Asus Eepc and some junk with 7" screen) this one was the best.

However I gave up with these cute toys. Screens are too small and useless for reading ebooks/PDF. Siguro yung tablet ng Asus puwede pa. Still the too small keyboard is too small for my big fingers.

Maybe the more pa-uso Ipad.....no not really.

That is why I prefer my 12 inch netbook. Bigger screen, bigger keyboard. I can read e-magazines without needing to zoom.
