Dont forget to pay our gov 7% GST...

EeePC 1000 for Linux 40GB SSD NT19988 = S$901 + 7% = S$964.07+++
Eee PC 1000H for Linux/windows 80GB HDD NT 18988= S$856 + 7% = S$915.92+++
Eee PC 901 NT16988=S$766 + 7% = S$819.62+++

price is only a very rough estimation and expected to be higher... the likely final price for 901 would be S$898.. just like the rest of the 701, 702, 900.... $598, $698, S$798.......

The pricing looks like getting out of control to me. '

No point increasing the specs and increase the price at the same time.

Soon the price wont be attractive anymore.

still pretty impressive if you compare it to the chunky sub-1k notebooks, covering all price points basically leave the choice to the consumer, us. :D

Wow SGD915 for the Eee PC 1000H with a 80GB HDD? The Wind only costs $829! :s22:

[P1kachu]

The 1000 model with the 40 gb ssd looks like a good bargain... If it comes to the PC show, i think i will buy it :D

Hmm... 1000 and 1000H both got 2gb ram... would it consume more power / make the set faster?

Err.. What is the Dolby Soundroom thing that the 1000 model is missing compared to the 901 and 1000H?

[ahray18]

erm..which would be better or rather wat's the diff between SSD & HDD..anyone care to teach me diff? :D

However, the only advantage of the Eee PC's SSD over a HDD is power consumption, weight and noise.

[starlety]

My dream UMPC will be a 8.9 inch, running SSD, with HSDPA, 802.11N and must be under $900 , will it be near future?

[SOLL_P]

looking at the increasing prices, maybe not

[shice8]

wow... so is it more value for money to get eee900 or eee901 in the upcoming pc show? not sure whether to get the eee900 now, since some pple say that the price will most likely be the same.

asus 1000H comes with 6 cell battery for that price. what does wind come with at 829? most likely 3 cell, if you upgrade, will be around the same price. i would say, judging from this, asus is more accurate in their marketing/price setting, probably gained a lot of experience from selling the eeepc 701, where they had to raise their retail prices, upwards from the estimated.

[idiort]

for tat price,really can get normal laptop....

[cc2mss5]

i'm considering either the 900 or 901.

from wat i know, 901 using new processor/bigger battery/with bluetooth/more easier to hack! (http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=283610&page=6)

can anyone help to compare the 2 cos i'm still not quite sure whether to get 901 or 900?

btw i've got rather good deal for 900 for sgd748 (ocbc credit card promo and somemore pay by installment)

thanx in advance

Well prices don't seem confirmed yet. AFAIK it's USD499 for the XP version with a 6-cell battery. So I'm waiting to see what Corbell does when we finally get stocks of the 6-cell.

Get the 901. Exceptional graphics performance and battery life (5hrs plus on the Atom processor).

The 900 is pretty much screwed. :s16::s16::s16:

Have to say that i'm looking to get the 901. Anyone know WHERE, if not WHEN we can get it in Singapore? Though if the final price of the 901's 898 it'll seriously make me reconsider. Bleddy hell buying mini pc leh! Not full featured laptop! MSI Wind's prolly gonna be round same price though. Only left Aspire 1, which has like basically no hdd space at all la.

hmmm...all signs seem to point to a $898 price for the 901. in which case, a bit out of budget for me also. the $760 for 900 is still OK...but then there's apparently possibility of price drop. wait wait wait..... :look:

btw, how much is a BT adapter? might just go with 900 + BT adapter if really cost $800+ for 901. not a big diff in performance between 900 & 901, right?

main thing i dun like abt the 900 model is the hdd is only 12GB (4GB+8GB) whereby the 4GB is used as C drive (installation of Windows and other programs), That's almost no difference from the 701 model :s22:

[kimgan]

& the 4GB SSD can't be swopped out or upgraded? while the 8GB / 16GB one can?
