After coming back from Msia..i decided to get a new toy...so last tuesday after coming back from the office...search the eeepc in ebay. I was looking for the 7inch model but then i just realised..7 inch is not enuff to watch my movies...so i i think i can afford the extra 2 inch for couple hundred bucks. So after searching in ebay for couple of minute most f the retailer comes from china or hong kong...its a bit dodgy and expensive delivery...so i googled it in google obviously and found the cheapest offer in www.shoppingsquare.com.au.
So i picked the white one..coz it screams " When i grow up, i wanna be a macbook!" slogan and checked out my shopping cart... Paid it the next day via Bpay...coz i lost my sim card back in msia so i cant get the TAC from the internet banking..it was pretty easy and safe. On thursday morning, i checked the status of my order...it was changed from unpaid to paid..then 1 hr later the status changed again to prep for delivery. On late thursday, the system prompt me a consignment note issued by the courier co. I checked into their online system but it returned an error...the note does not exist..oooppss...not a very good sign....but i stayed calm till friday before i push the panic button. On friday morning...went into their online tracking again..and voila...it's in sydney and on its way to my office... I usually addressed it there coz other half dun want to be disturb during her beauty sleep. Around 3pm, the courier man walked thru the door and i jumped in joy!
So...since friday night till sunday...i've been in front of the new toy..pimping it out like there's no tomorrow...I won't go into details of the innards of the piece of machinery..google it and read their professional review...way easier and better grammar than me..but i would like to say...it's good enough for me....and here's why
1. it has SSD not the spinning HD..less capacity but shock proof
2. SD card reader builtin - i hate to pull out the sd card from the camera and plug it in the external card reader...it's a waste of time and space
3. very light - the thinkpad is 1.2kg but this one is less than 1kg..it's has gone thru serious diet
4. great community - www.eeeuser.com - i've got alot of info to install ubuntu from this site.....
5. wifi enabled...i can't imagine living without a wireless router nearby...dunno why
