Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah, that looked like the only downfall, the 9" screen. Same res as the Advent though. Oh and I couldn't get the YAWJULY08 code to work @ PC World.
Guest Dr Who Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah, that looked like the only downfall, the 9" screen. Same res as the Advent though. Oh and I couldn't get the YAWJULY08 code to work @ PC World. Why is it never simple? I would quite happily take the Aspire One or the Advent but I need 4 hours battery life for it to be useful. Anyone know whether the One is going to have an after sale battery or when and how much the Advent/MSI high capacity battery will be on release? Otherwise it will have to be the EEE 901.
Guest Dr Who Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Or failing that how heavy is the charger for the One and for the Advent/MSI. If they were ultra light weight like the Apple ones the lack of battery life wouldn't be a problem, but I am fed up with even my 'ultralight' 12" laptops coming with a charger that adds a kg to the weight I have to carry.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I'll weigh the charger for u tomorrow :D P
Guest ~Rob Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Slightly off topic, but I'm looking at an ITX mobo using the same CPU. How are you guys finding the speed of the processor? Particularly playing back video and using flash? TIA, Rob
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Nice and snappy to be honest! 2GB RAM probably helps... P
Guest ~Rob Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks, that's all I needed to know. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be limited to 1Gb, but XP doesn't seem to gain much after a gig anyway
Guest tsutton Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Bit-Tech has taken it apart so you can see what's inside... http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/07/05/breaking-wind/1
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I think i've had mine open about 10 times now :D P
Guest Dr Who Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I'll weigh the charger for u tomorrow :D P Prod. Prod.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Charger including cable from charger to laptop (but not including 3 prong cable to socket) = 178g. :D P
Guest Dr Who Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Charger including cable from charger to laptop (but not including 3 prong cable to socket) = 178g. :D P Many thanks. Hmmmm, so about 1.3kg all in. Thats actually pretty good, certainly comparable with a Sony TZ, but £1000 cheaper! I think that might make this one a purchase..........
Guest J273 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Blacks now in stock at ebuyer.....Ive orderd....So ill be putting my whiten up for sale :D Edited July 9, 2008 by J273
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 If you wanna swap for an advent too, let me know :D P
Guest J273 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) £343:( Edit:Sorry thought you meant how much the black was. Not sure on how much i want for the white....Ill stick it on ebay i think. Edited July 9, 2008 by J273
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 MSI own brand is a good 70 quid more expensive tho.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I would prefer a white one, but bearing in mind it's IDENTICAL hardware to the Advent, I just couldn't justify the price premium to buy yours :D P
Guest J273 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) I prefer the black....more pro looking ......not like a toy imo. Edited July 9, 2008 by J273
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 When the 6 cells come out i'll swap it for a white one (probably) with 6 cell and US keyboard... P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 The obvious question J273... IMHO the Black / Grey advent looks nicer than the Black Wind anyway, so why not save a bunch of cash and get the advent? P
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 What about the medion akoya? Thoughts on that one?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Not available in the UK is it? That is actually different hardware (different wifi + no bluetooth), whereas the advent is identical to the MSI. P
Guest J273 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 the eeepc 901's in stock to with ebuyer £319
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 They have the Eee 1000s in too, complete with 6 cell battery! :D http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146026 P
