    very good price. paid $325 a week ago. it's slow compare to your ordinary laptop but it does the basic task fine.

    • fchis on 19/02/2010 - 16:51

      if you guys still wanna pay $310 + $15 postage for it. you can search 1001HA on Ebay. There is only one who is selling
      at that price. I think he still has plenty left.

    I'm looking for something to run Audacity and use with my Samson CO1 USB mic for recording.
    http://www.samsontech.com/PRODUCTS/productpage.cfm?prodID=18…

    I don't need it to do much else except:

    • be quite
    • keep up
    • run Win 7
    • have good (3-4hr real world) battery life
    • run Audacity

    What do you reckon ?

    (as stated the N270 is a 1.6Ghz CPU)

    Am leaving for work now. If it's still avail in an hour when I get there… might have to get one. If not, it wasn't meant to be. :-)

    • stylecrime on 19/02/2010 - 14:59

      At a guess, no. If you're recording a single track with no simultaneous playback, maybe. If you're looking to multitrack, forget it! My last audio workstation was dual core P4 w/ 3 GB RAM and a RAID array. For multitracking, RAM and hard drive throughput are paramount. A netbook is simply the wrong tool for the job: there are things they're good at, but audio recording and mixing isn't one of them.

      windows 7 ultimate doesnt use more resources than any other version, it just has more features which are pointless unless u run them and use them.
      so sayin it runs windows 7 ultimate is no different than w7 starter.
      unless u are running w7 with all the features and apps going and its still fine, then let me know.

    IMO, these netbooks will hit the $250 mark in about 6 mths so if you can hold out you might get an even better deal. I think prices will be slashed to compete with tablets and iPads in a few months. But this deal is too hot NOW, and would make a nice upgrade to my original 701.

      • fungi79 on 19/02/2010 - 14:33

        I think the 701 has the best form factor and have resisted getting one to replace it until now. The seashell seems to be a cool design and slim enough. Was actually going to load Jolicloud on the 701 this morning and close to buying a touchscreen for it. Might still keep the little beast as I'm quite attached to it.

  • Iggsy81 on 19/02/2010 - 09:55

    1GB Ram enough to run win7? Really? Not in my experience, not smoothly anyway - seems like a misfit to put windows 7 on these netbooks doesn't it?

    • PainToad on 19/02/2010 - 11:01
      +1

      My 1000H with 1gig of ram runs Ultimate with full effects perfectly fine. W7 is a lean mean fighting machine.

      • Iggsy81 on 19/02/2010 - 18:15

        It's not a lean mean fighting machine. I've spoken about how dwm.exe and the audio enhancements waste RAM before.. (displaying a desktop can easily use 50megs RAM in win7 - having `sound' can use 20) etc etc. Win xp is a lean mean fighting machine, win7 is unnecessarily bloatware, that's why im surprised to see 1GB Ram machines running it. Having said that im not sure about home basic etc, obviously no aero would reduce usage.

        • timjohns on 19/02/2010 - 19:29

          But aren't "displaying a desktop" and "sound" basic functions of any GUI computer experience. It's a bit much to say that the OS is "wasting" 50MB and 20MB of RAM. It's not wasting them if they are being used to perform the core functions of the computing experience… surely ? People always say… Oh… such-and-such is using up blah-blah of my RAM. and My RAM is running at 47% usage. I say to those people… SO WHAT. Why have a system with GB's of RAM and not have them used. I say 47% is not enough. I want my OS to use ALL my RAM, every last KB. OK, we all know in real world, that's not practical, but you get my point. Having 4GB in your PC and trimming back the OS and Apps to use a "lean" 1.2GB is a stupid waste of money. You've got 4GB… PUT IT TO WORK.

          • Iggsy81 on 19/02/2010 - 20:11

            @timjohns: This is a 1GB netbook, not a 4GB core i7.

            And your argument is a bit misguided i think. No, windows xp does not need to use 20 megs of ram running a service for audio enhancement that is mandatory in order to have sound at all in the way windows 7 does. No windows XP does not run a ~50meg of ram service (dwm.exe) just to display a static desktop (why should that use so much anyway?). Of course they are core elements of an OS but there is NO NEED to have services running that are permanently resident in memory and that use so much RAM. As someone who has been through all of the services running in xp and win7 with a fine-tooth comb in order to establish what can and can't be disabled, im merely stating that to claim win7 is a lean, mean machine is absolute rubbish. It is just as bad as vista in some ways and even worse in others (unnecessary audio service enhancements could at least be disabled in vista, this is impossible in win7).

            As for your "I've got 4 gig i want it all used argument".. as discussed in another thread this is unnecessarily putting up prices for the consumer who then has to pay more for more power due to inefficient coding on the part of the software designers. If you're happy to pay more than necessary good for u, many people have more money than sense and they are the ones who think win7 is a dream come true etc, im just saying if you go through it technically, it's inefficient and a rip-off, it isn't some messianic software.

    • PainToad on 19/02/2010 - 11:03

      Not everyone needs a super powerful computer. I have a HTPC for HD stuff and 99% of the time my netbook covers all other needs.

    Windows 7 Starter does not include:

    • Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the “Windows Basic” or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
    • Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
    • The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
    • Multi-monitor support.
    • DVD playback.
    • Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
    • Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
    • Domain support for business customers.
    • XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.

    For a netbook this is an awesome deal, I'd buy one if I actually had a use for the thing

              @jondgls: Even still… I'm paying $300 for the computer. I'm not coughing up another $400 for a slightly better stripped down version of the same OS I'm getting for $300 with the computer :)

              • ragflan on 23/02/2010 - 10:08

                @timjohns: Like timjohns said, there's really no point paying extra for an OS when you're gonna strip all eye-candy off. That's very silly.

                The main differences between an Ultimate and a Home Basic or Starter are the eye-candy, the Bitlocker encryption, a Media Center and the backup/restore facility.

                If you're gonna remove the eye-candy, that leaves you with drive encryption which you can get for free (and way better) with TrueCrypt. And there's at least 5 different freeware programs that do a way more awesome job than the inbuilt Windows utilities for backup/restore, defragging and what not.

                Which leaves you with a Media Center that XBMC does a great job of. I see really no point of getting an Ultimate Windows 7 especially if you're a Home user.

    +1. Great price for a relatively new netbook. So much so that I caved and got one! Hah. Wish I nabbed the S101 that was on sale at MLN for the same price a couple of weeks back (https://www.mln.com.au/product/?itemID=658&typeID=). Anyone wanna trade? Hah.

    My mate paid $399 for the 1005HA (same netbook except with different shell) in December last year.

    Of course, the price will drop since the N450 and ION equipped processors are starting to get widespread. However, those netbooks will still cost in the $400 range.

    Toss in W7 Starter and this is probably the best-value netbook at the moment!

    • shawn_low on 19/02/2010 - 11:39

      Actually, very soon. The 1GB limit was imposed onto manufacturers by Windows and their XP Home licensing. I don't think that applies to Win7 anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

      • Crownie on 19/02/2010 - 11:42

        It appears to be true.
        Asus EEE PC's that will ship with 2GB are the models with Win 7 Home Premium.

        Also, looks like the 10" models have Win 7 Starter and 1GB of RAM while the 12" models have Win 7 Premium and 2GB.
        The 12" models are aimed as notebook replacements and will be priced similar to an entry level notebook ($599-$699 in OZ).

      • timjohns on 19/02/2010 - 11:49

        The 1GB RAM limit for shipping netbooks is imposed for WIN 7 STARTER by Microsoft on the manufactures.

    I usually do my electronics shopping in Hong Kong (one of the cheapest places in the world - it's tax-free), but that is an amazing deal. If you consider that the price includes 10% tax they're selling for less than the cheapest Windows XP, non-LED screen, 3 cell battery, EOM branded, local warrenty only netbook currently goes for in Hong Kong.

    I doubt we'll be seeing considerably cheaper than that for a long time. Especialy if the AUD loses its value (it's already gone down from its highs.)

    The Dell offer is good (how do you get the $100 off?) Bigger HDD and slightly faster processor. If I read the specs carefully, I'm sure I'd spot some more benefits for the Dell (BTW my laptop is a Dell which I bought when Dells were super cheap - around $500 for a Duo core maybe 5 years ago.)

    But on the Dell Wireless-N is about $30 more and essential. White is about $30 more and not essential (well for the mrs it is, though :D ) The battery is rated at only 6 hours (maybe the Asus's "Exclusive Super hybrid engine" makes the difference.) The Asus's "Easily zoom in and out with the multi-touch pad" also sounds good when you are working with a 10" screen.

    Overall, I'm glad I went with the Asus, but they are both good deals. Especially if you want a black one :)

    *** STOP PRESS ***

    Here's the Dell killer t&c:

    "Limited time promotional offer only. No further discounts apply."

    So the Dell is $399++

    A bit off topic but I'm looking to pimp this netbook, does anyone know where I can get a touchscreen kit for this cheaply? DX is $60US+
