Extending battery life has been the holy grail of mobile computing. But can solid state hard drives really help? Recently, the trend is going towards solid-state storage. This means drives that have no moving parts. Most popular of these is flash memory. They’re cheap, durable, and can hold data even without power (unlike volatile RAM, […]
Loving the Eee Because of the Community
Since the dawn of the Eee, there have been a ton of netbooks launched by other brands, like the HP Mini Note, Asus Aspire one, MSI Wind. And from reviews I’ve read, a lot are praising the WIND for its value, the Aspire one for its low price, and the Mini Note for its sexy […]
EeePC 1000H: Heavier, But Worth It
Liliputing reviews the Asus EeePC 1000H and gives a positive verdict. While the 1000H is heavier than most other netbooks, the main come ons are the bigger screen, bigger keyboard and the long battery life. Overall, I’m quite happy with the Eee PC 1000H. When I have some time i’ll try to run some more […]
Asus EeePC 1000H Review Likens it to the Toyota Fortuner
Cooltoyz’ review of the EeePC 1000H (which also serves as their item page for the units they sell) likens it to the Toyota Fortuner, which is an medium-sized SUV / IMV sold in Asian markets. At this time when UMPCs [Ultra-Mobile PC] is the craze, and where there are so many options available it is […]
Asus Announces 1000HD and 904HD
Both run on the Dothan chipset: the 1000HD with Pentium-M and the 904HD on Celeron-M. Both are marketed with 5-hour battery uptimes, though, so it seems fair enough, given they’re not using Atom chips on these new EeePCs. [via koobten]
Asus Philippines Runs Hongkong Disneyland Promo
Asus Philippines has launched a promo whereby every purchase of an EeePC 701 gives the buyer a chance to win a trip to Hongkong Disneyland and a Hongkong tour. ASUS gives you the chance to experience just how mobile the Eee PC is—not only in the comforts of your own home, school or office—but in […]
No EeePC 901 in the Philippines?
If eeepc.net has it right, Asus Philippines will not be releasing the much-anticipated (from my point of view) EeePC 901 here. I guess I’ll have to either import one or look for grey-market sellers. The price difference between the 901 and the 900 is reportedly small, which makes the 901 definitely a better buy because […]
Asus EeePC 900 Battery Life
These are real-world tests. I didn’t use any burning software, but instead did my usual day-to-day work, which involves Gmail, reading via my feedreader (Bloglines Beta), reading up various blogs, and also posting on blogs. And as such, being a real-world test, this involved some pauses in between for bathroom breaks, snacks, and such. And […]
EeePC 900 Picky with RAM Modules
As reported on the EeeUser forum, the EeePC 900 is somewhat picky with RAM upgrades. If the RAM chip is not exactly spec’d like the stock RAM module, then the computer would be prone to freezing, especially when switching between battery and mains power. And so I tried upgrading my EeePC 900 with a 2GB […]
Move Windows with Alt-Drag in Windows
One of the things I miss in eeeXubuntu (or practically any Linux distro that uses KDE, GNOME or other similar desktop environments) is how I can move windows by just holding the alt button while dragging the window from any grab point. On Windows, you have to drag the window by its title bar in […]
