I like the pic on the $649 one :-P Oh and the prices seem quite good!
thewonderer on 29/06/2010 - 12:17

Anybody know what the model number is of the N450 netbook? I can't find it….
- merc250 on 29/06/2010 - 12:21
  
  ive done a quick research i believe it is this model ASUS 1001P NETBOOK EeePC. the model number in the USA is MU17-BK. looks pretty decent. i would get it for the price as most stores are selling them around 329$ at MSY
blud on 29/06/2010 - 12:19

How does the N450 compare to similar laptops? I need something small for uni…opinions?
- merc250 on 29/06/2010 - 12:25
  
  Its still quite a new atom. it would be capable of the usual task for uni and such. depending on what your studying and your needs. whats good about it is its long life battery that would really suit uni needs. for the price you would be saving about $50
  - fchis on 29/06/2010 - 13:16
    
    I had bought a 1001HA previously with Atom N270 and it's very slow compare to a normal laptop.
    So I sold it to someone else. If you only want to use it to do single and simple task, this netbook is good
    but don't expect it to run like a normal laptop.
  - Trance N Dance on 29/06/2010 - 18:08
    
    It will be about on par with the 3.Ghz P4 (desktop).
Mikinoz on 29/06/2010 - 12:20

ironically the specs page doesnt work on the cotd site for these laptops
- colblair on 29/06/2010 - 12:20
  
  I think maybe… 1001PX-BLK029X
  
  or maybe not.. i think that's the 3-cell version
  - Mikinoz on 29/06/2010 - 12:40
    
    If the model cannot be confirmed, i wouldnt take the chance
  - ash2000 on 29/06/2010 - 15:04
    
    I have the 6 cell PX, and indeed the specs here are the same, except in the photo of the right handside view, there appears to be two USB sockets. The 1001PX only has one on the left and one on the right.
    
    I'm guessing this is a PX, and the side view photo is from an earlier model.
    
    For a sub $300 machine with a 6 cell battery and an N450, this is great value.
- merc250 on 29/06/2010 - 12:22

Matte display and chassis?

Nah. Sounds too good to be true.
- merc250 on 29/06/2010 - 13:01
  
  Its got a carbon fibre look. looks good to me. especially for the price i think its worth it.
  
  i would definitely buy one if i didnt have more laptops than i could use
  - Jabba the Hutt on 29/06/2010 - 13:58
    
    After checking a bunch of pics and video reviews, it seems there are versions of the all-black 1001P with a very glossy bezel and others with a matte bezel. The COTD shows a matte one but who knows if it's depicting the exact model on offer.
testy8 on 29/06/2010 - 12:55

I have the 1001HA, bought for $310 delivered early this year, same chassis. It's awesome. I assume this is an upgraded version, and cheaper. I say go for it
tempco on 29/06/2010 - 13:10

Exactly the sort of netbook I'm after. Cheers!
Caliente on 29/06/2010 - 13:15

Just ordered one, I know it says 7-10 days but what kind of delivery times do you guys normally experience from COTD?
- tempco on 29/06/2010 - 13:18
  
  Curious about this too. Also, are they strict on who signs the package?
- Jabba the Hutt on 29/06/2010 - 13:36
  
  A HP laptop I ordered from them recently took two calendar weeks from order date to delivery, consistent with the 7-10 business day estimate. COTD isn't for people in a hurry.
chocohoney on 29/06/2010 - 13:17

  Hehe, yeah… love how they have the model number on the more expensive 12.1" one, but not here.
EnergicAU on 29/06/2010 - 13:57

ive done my research and about to look at buying this too.
if im not mistaken its the asus 1001PX

almost identical to the 1001P and without windows 7 (cheaper by $20) in the US as it is XP, and i think instead of 3 usb it has 2, and its got a carbon fibre texture top and a matte screen and bezel.. (better than glossy im my opinion)

a good deal still! real battery life is rated arnd 9hrs, and it's almost identical to the 1001P so if you are looking for reviews, look up that one.

if its the 1001px, not a lot of reviews as its a ravamped 1001p ..and the px was only released in april/may ..

gonan sell my dell mini osx 9 and swap it for this!
- Jabba the Hutt on 29/06/2010 - 14:39
  
  I would say colblair was on the right track thinking 1001PX too. The "1001P" results on StaticIce show Australian stock is mainly 1001PX-BLK029X or 1001PX-BLK014X, which appear to be the same except the former has a 3 cell battery and the latter a 6 cell.
  
  Also, the COTD image is titled "asus-1001px-1.jpg". So my money's on 1001PX-BLK014X.
HONDA4LIFE on 29/06/2010 - 14:03

I thought all eeepc's came with 2yr global warranty's…?

My 1005HA did. Strange.
- jpm1 on 29/06/2010 - 15:40
  
  Other Asus laptops come with a 2 year warranty, but most (and I'm fairly sure all) Eee PCs only come with a 1 year warranty standard. I was told the wrong thing when I bought my 1000H (which I knew was wrong), so I'd double check because you could have been given bad information by the salesperson.

    - totolee on 29/06/2010 - 14:42
      
      maybe the model number is 1005PE for 160G edition. you can check it online.

This would have been perfect for me if it had wireless N!

i would recommend acer 1830T or 1810t but 1830t seems not avaliable in australia now
Acer 1830T
11.6-Inch 1366 x 768 display (glossy / 720p HD)

3x USB Ports, S/PDIF Audio

  That would cost at least $650~700 USD (= 800 AUD).
  Way out of the price range of normal netbooks.
  
  But the specifications sure are nice.
  - totolee on 29/06/2010 - 14:47
    
    yep, it would be the best balance for the battery life and performance. isn't it?
    1810T SU7300 processor edition is much better than asus 1201PN.
    - SydStrand on 30/06/2010 - 15:02
      
      You're not going to get great battery life out of an i5, even with a chunky 6 cell. If you want to be carrying one all day you really should go for atom.

    well, i strongly recommend the acer 1410 and 1810 models. i got a dual-core 1410 for $450 and it has been great, even if old acers were terrible. 1080p works great on it :)
    - Mikinoz on 30/06/2010 - 09:43

  He bought the 1001p, not the 1001px then. Difference is the matte finish and carbon fibre.
  - prankster on 29/06/2010 - 16:52
    
    so COTD is selling the 1001px?
    actually they don't mention the model - how sly COTD can be sometimes…
    - dankenny on 29/06/2010 - 16:55
      
      The picture on COTD appears to have that carbon fibre effect that the 1001px took on. I honestly don't know which one would turn up in the mail! When it comes to COTD, it could be anything.
      - dankenny on 29/06/2010 - 17:02
        
        @dankenny: Actually that's not fair :P. It'll definitely be at least the 1001p or the 1001px, which means you got a good deal either way. I hope it's the px though!

Thanks all.

  No, the deal commenced 12pm A.E.S.T. Tuesday 29 June.
  In the ordinary course of events the Catch would go till Midday the following day, i.e. 12pm Wednesday 30 June (unless sold out prior).
