    Just what everyone wants in feedback (reviews)
    "Not as good as I'd hoped"

    • jashjash on 31/01/2011 - 22:19

      yeah, well if you read the rest of her "review", she was expecting it to replace her 15" laptop…

      "I received my eeepc a week ago and, after downsizing from a fullsize 15" laptop, am slowly getting used to the small screen and reduced number of keys."

      and she also seemed keen to hook it up to a dvd drive since that's what she was used to with the 15" laptop.

      I have to agree with her saying that it's not a 9 hour battery life. It's the 3 cell model, not the 6 cell, which is outlined in the specs.

  • backslashio on 31/01/2011 - 20:29

    Great deal :) I'm quite tempted, although that model has been around for ages (pretty dated) and I don't really need it :( However if you need some kind of stylish portable laptop its worth the price & it comes with Windows 7 Starter

    +1 anyway

    cotd is having a (supposedly) subscriber only sale on 10inch EEPC for $299 + shipping

    It includes 250GB HD, wireless b/g/n and 6 cell battery

    I have no idea how it compares to the big W PC - or whether it represents worse/same/better value but thought i would link to it so buyers can have the choice

    • inherentchoice on 01/02/2011 - 01:22

      Yeah I think you picked the main differences. I wouldn't let the hard drive size or wifi N sway you too much, so for anyone comparing I guess it's just a question of what battery life you want. Still, these small netbooks don't consume that much power anyway, and it seems that you can get 4+ hours of battery with this one. I had a 10" Asus like this and I recall that it could get to 5 hours on 3 cells for just word processing/web.

      Gotta wonder though about cosmetic differences, such as the thickness of each and just the appearance and screen types.

  • slknv on 31/01/2011 - 20:52

    Not really a comment about this particular deal, I bought one from cotd last oct, about a week ago it started smoking from the side vents, doesn't work now. Organising a service inspection from asus directly.

      holy shit.. ur laptop literally is "smoking hot"!

    • llama on 31/01/2011 - 22:27

      Was it sitting it on your lap or soft material, blocking lower vents?

      They may not warrant it if overheated!

    apparently quite hackingtoshable

  • llama on 31/01/2011 - 22:26

    Good of this one = matt screen, nice design

    Bad of this one = no bluettoth, 3-cell battery

  • lambsie on 31/01/2011 - 22:31

    How long do we think a 3 cell would last?

    • jashjash on 31/01/2011 - 22:54

      It's around 4-5 hours

      6 cell is around 8-9, but is heavier and sticks out the back (because there are more cells of course)

      • Livert on 31/01/2011 - 23:00
        +1

        I've got this netbook with the 6 cell battery ordered from COTD in June. It's heavier but the battery does not stick out the back like other netbooks.

        • jashjash on 31/01/2011 - 23:04

          Alrighty, my bad then.

          Every other laptop I've owned at work have had 6 cell batteries that stick out the back.

      • lambsie on 31/01/2011 - 23:08

        Can I buy a 6 cell battery after market? Or would it cost about half of the laptop itself?

        Also would it be easy to add another gig of RAM?

        • jashjash on 31/01/2011 - 23:17

          I quickly looked on eBay, and they're around $50?

          I wish I could help you some more but I don't have the laptop yet.

          Some people prefer the 6 cell since they're going to be away from power, but I just needed a cheap and light laptop to take overseas. I can always plug it in at my grandma's house :)

        • Livert on 31/01/2011 - 23:34

          If you want a 6-cell get this. http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_…

          It has wireless N and a 250 gig drive too.

          To upgrade to 2gb you'll need a 2gb stick to replace the existing one. There's only 1 ram slot.

      • Memo14 on 31/01/2011 - 23:59

        Interestingly the BIg W website quotes …."ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine energy management technology to deliver up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge"
        Do they mean with the extra batteries??

        • llama on 01/02/2011 - 10:26

          They mean up to 9 hours with Wireless disabled, the unit using an aggressive power-save mode (ie: sleep after 1-2 minutes), the video screen turned down to minimum, and not processing video, flash, anti-virus scan, or any other background process.

          We have a 6-cell Lenovo and if the setting are set "realistically" and we are actually using the thing as a laptop surfing he net, checking emails etc, we get about 5 hours from it… which means a 3-cell would give 2-3 hours in the REAL world.

          It's just like an iPhone… if you use them for anything other than telephone calls, the battery life drops dramatically.

  • CVonC on 31/01/2011 - 23:48

    the big w one is definitely no wireless n?

    • Livert on 31/01/2011 - 23:52

      My 1001PX definitely doesn't.

      • CVonC on 01/02/2011 - 00:02

        thanks mate.. bit of a shame when the eM350 has n

    • Memo14 on 01/02/2011 - 00:05

      Connectivity ?
      Wireless WLAN 802.11b/g @2.4GHz
      See specs on big w website it does.

      • CVonC on 01/02/2011 - 00:12

        yeah mate i was asking about n..

        • Memo14 on 01/02/2011 - 00:38

          Excuse my ignorance I learnt something new,g n wireless faster and stronger signal.

    It doesn't seem to be coming up with the 10% off.
    It is coming with $268 at checkout.

  • jaxon on 01/02/2011 - 01:08

    is it black only? think theres a white model but dunno if Big W sells that colour

  • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2011 - 08:39

    Anyone know if you can still get these ebooks for $200 anywhere?
    I need to get one by March. So, not sure whether its worthwhile to wait for it.

    • esdubleu on 01/02/2011 - 15:59

      Amazon has these Netbook's for around the same price, but i think it doesn't include free shipping.

  • f1nn on 20/02/2011 - 21:57

    hold your horses for those who want to buy this!!!!

    got this one just recently.. everything was fine. tried to use the other partition and was able to install linux -kubuntu on it (dual boot).. working perfectly fine for the past few weeks then last night the keys BACKSPACE, DEL, ENTER and C, are NOT working so I am not very happy.. I tried the recovery for windows to see if it will make any difference and it's still the same.. so much hassle without those important keys.. I'm going to return it and see what will happen.
