hi, pardon me if this is a stupid question. im pretty clueless abt stuff like these. im looking to buy either a acer aspire one, asus eeepc 1000H or dell mininote 9....

does it mean that i cant use like photoshop or adobe audition on these UMPCs? the specs cant support these softwares?

thanks!

i can run photoshop but i'm not sure bout audition..
of coz u cannot expect it to run fast like normal laptop or desktop
but at least i could get some quick editing done when i'm on the move

I'm quite confused recently regarding to singnet AO150 specifications
in the acer website they stated that only 120GB HDD, but 6 cells battery 2600mAh???? i think its 3 cells though
http://acer.com.sg/SINGNET/snbb/aspireone/

When the sales thread here stated that his ONE's from singnet too, but with 160GB HDD, 6cells battery also but 5200mAh?

can u please enlighten me, what's going on? As i have one too, but going to sell it as it's sealed in the cardboard box, but dunno what is the exact specs...

i'm pretty sure the singnet one is 120GB HDD... I got the set for a fren and I personally check and played with it before passing it to fren

The Singnet set is 120GB HDD, I'm sure about this as I'm using one now but I happen to walk round Harvey and saw another Asipre One with 160GB HDD thou...

newer ones are 160 as microsoft upped the limitations it imposes on bundling xp with netbooks.

initially they limited windows xp to netbooks of 120gb hdd and below. now they allow 160gb for xp so a lot of netbook companies start to bundle 160gb hard disks, such as the eee 1000 and the wind

 

[perimbean]

Out of curiosity, I would like to ask, has any one modded their Acer One to include:
a) Touch screen
b) Inbuilt bluetooth
c) Internal GPS
d) 3G connectivity

I'm thinking of getting one to try out.

Cheers!

yes its 6 cells.. and yes the Singnet Acer promotion comes with 6 cells..
in the local market, the 6 cells is bundled with xp home, 120GB HDD but according to anor forumer, there's a 160GB HDD version out there..

in overseas market, there's 6 cells for the Linux version, which also comes in a bigger HDD version...

Tks iProBB,

maybe i should rephrase my qn... wat's the easiest way to do it? i already 've winxp on c drive and a ready partition on d drive.

That D drive is a recovery partition. It's hidden by default and you will not be able to install or change anything within that partition.

 

[iProBB]

hi all~ i currently have C drive and D drive~ the recovery partition is left intact~
meaning that the hidden partition with the xp home data for the acer eRecovery is there~
meaning that i made a new partition called D drive~
so i now have C drive, D drive and a hidden partition for eRecovery~

to install new OS, you need a logical drive that is been formatted to install another OS~
to do it, just make a new logical partition after C: and choose the option "for installation of another OS" or something similar~

you can use external optical drive or thumb drive or network drive for installation~
youtube has many videos on installing another OS using nlite or something...

you will have to format a thumb drive and make it bootable~ and need to put the OS data into the thumb drive and reboot~
den choose from bios to let the system boot from thumb drive and follow onscreen instructions to install new OS~

i dono how to do nlite or thumb drive install~ i have an external dvd drive~
maybe you guys can help out or you can watch youtube on booting from thumb drive for more info~

AOA150 vs Dell Mini 9 which is bettter?

no specific answers~ only depend on what you are looking for~
if ppl say aspire one is better, its bias~ and so the same for mini9~

 

[iProBB]

Tks iProBB,

maybe i should rephrase my qn... wat's the easiest way to do it? i already 've winxp on c drive and a ready partition on d drive.

since you already made a partition, is it a logical drive formatted to install another OS?
if not, delete the partition and make again~

easiest way to do it is to use the external optical drive and put in the cd or dvd of your choice of OS and reboot~

den choose the boot drive and let the system boot from the optical drive and follow onscreen instructions to install another OS~

after installation finish (completely), just set back the boot drive in bios to boot from HDD~
den reboot and your system will show you the OS choices~ choose 1 of the 2 and it will boot to the 1 you chose~
