HP mininote? MSI Wind? Acer Aspire One? Asus EEE 1000? Upcoming Dell UMPC?

  mas pogi parin eee900. pangit yung siwang bet the lcd and body ng acer1 imo

• kamvilarn on July 07, 2008 11:45 PM

  Have to say that the HP Mini note is pretty much the best in terms of build quality and finish...it's also one of the most expensive. The Windows XP version with 2GB of RAM is 29990. At that price, I can already get a faster 14" laptop.

• lycan2005 on July 08, 2008 07:51 AM

  saw it on the ad in inquirer today
  
  18800
  atom procie
  8 gig ssd
  512ram built in, extra 512 in the empty slot, total 1 gig.
  
  nice!!!!

• COOLTOYZ on July 08, 2008 10:44 AM

  @lycan, yes saw it also at the Inquirer Page C3 advertised at P18,800.00.
  MSI Wind then now Acer Aspire One... up to Asus to raise the bar on the Asus 1000H released in HK last Saturday ^.^
  Aspire released here in the Philippines cheaper than in HK (HK$3,500x6)
  Asus 1000H released in HK for HK$4,800.00

• alanis_junkie43 on July 08, 2008 10:52 AM

  wow ok yan for 18k ah...tamang tama sa may budget na below 20k
  
  nagkasya nga sa 4gb ng asus eee jan pa kaya na 8gb...hehe
  
  available ba to sa US? mas mura ba dun?

• axelgalang on July 08, 2008 11:29 AM

  panalo nga price nyan. 26k kse t0ng msi wind e.. pero satisfied na rn tlga ak0 sa wind.. iba tlga if 10-inch and wider keyboard.. th0ugh bang for the buck i think yang 0ne.. c0ntrary t0 the 0pini0n that netb0oks are a FAD, i think netb0oks will change the lapt0p w0rld.. Parang cellph0ne rn lang yan. Mas maliit, mas 0k with the basic features intact.. th0ugh lg p300 p rn ak0 if i have the m0ney, hehe

• lightninglord2000 on July 08, 2008 11:54 AM

  Sa presyong ginawa ng Acer sa Acer Aspire One (P18,800), I think Acer will dominate the UMPC market (at least for the Filipinos).
  
  So far, yun kasi ang may pinaka-affortable na UMPC na may Intel Atom processor. Bang for the buck, 'ika nga!
  
  Sana may magbenta na ng Acer Aspire na pwede 0% interest for 12 months via Credit Card!!!

• ajaitak on July 08, 2008 12:01 PM

  oopss, lunchbreak. takbuhan na to! unahan na lang...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ayun sa kanan "wants to buy" daw sya. lol

• alanis_junkie43 on July 08, 2008 12:08 PM

  hehe siguro 6 months meron...tapos hindi 18k ang price...hehehehe

• sudoroot on July 08, 2008 12:23 PM

  saang shop po ba available itong Acer aspire one? i want to see it sana before buying...
  
  =)

• COOLTOYZ on July 08, 2008 03:45 PM

  Acer wants us to buy 12units of other models for every 10units of the Aspire One... not very fair. Maybe we will wait for the next batch when the the terms of purchase become more realistic...

• foool on July 08, 2008 04:27 PM

  acer aspire one looks good. but i don't like that gap <click here for link>between the screen and keyboard. a pen or same thing could get trapped in there and get jammed.

• alanis_junkie43 on July 08, 2008 04:36 PM

  ^ yan din ang ayaw ko sa kanya...like yun sa eee pc may models na may gap din eh

  Introducing Asus EEE 904 and 905.
  
  Same specs as the 901 but the size of the 1000 which means bigger keyboard but with an 8.9" screen.
  
  
  
  
  <click here for link>
  
  But for those with moooolah, this 600-850 euro laptop is savvy:
  

  The Kohjinsha SX Series offers 8.9 inch touch screen display at 1,280 x 768 resolution, Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 60GB HDD, Super Multi-DVD drive, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.

  uy tama yung source ko. 18800 nga. hehehe
  
  labas na ba sa market. hhehe. mas interested kasi ako sa predator eh. hehehhe

• rocketpunch on July 08, 2008 08:42 PM

  Dell E series nalang ang kulang para ma compare ko yung specs/price... Reading ready nako bumili ng Aspire One, pero gusto ko yung fire engine red na kulay ng Dell!

• zelgadys on July 08, 2008 08:43 PM

  hehehe natawa nga ako dun sa ad ng acer e sa front Aspire One 18.8k then at the back yun predator na parang galing talaga sa outer space ang presyo - 135K petot!! maka-buo ka na ng isang internet cafe. Going back, went to megamall cyber zone wala pa ko nakita store may Aspire One on display. Sabi nga dun sa other thread tonight pa lang talaga launch sa resellers

  ano daw Sir ang sense non? ano daw pakialam ng Acer sa ibang brands? medyo naguluhan ako...hehe

• COOLTOYZ on July 08, 2008 08:55 PM

  i think netb0oks will change the lapt0p w0rld.. Parang cellph0ne rn lang yan. Mas maliit, mas 0k with the basic features intact

  
  - Laptops or even netbooks have something that is not vital in cellphones -> Software.
  - The success of netbooks/UMPCs will be greatly dependent on the software. All existing UMPCs run best on XP, which microsoft has discontinued.
  - We have not encountered a UMPC that runs Vista efficiently.
  - UMPCs will be here for the long term if either Linux makes a Giant Leap or Microsoft decides to support UMPC platforms, like maybe Vista Lite.

  @robcoun, Acer will sell you 10 Pieces of Aspire One bundled with:
  12pieces Aspire 4920 + 1piece Aspire 6920
  Bundled to sell as One(1) package in order to move items which did not click in the market.
  
  Last week they needed the resellers and offered a price drop. Now they have a unique product and demand this deal from resellers. Thats life in this industry... if the Aspire One was only cheaper in other countries we would have imported directly... Supply should ease end of the month when fresh stocks arrive.
  
  The product launch was rushed. Someone in Acer Philippines believes in numerology and wanted to launch the product on 7/8/08 at 8:00PM... get it? 888. It is an auspicious day for those who believe.

  naku ang mamahal pa naman nung model na yon Sir?hehehe...masyado naman silang opportunista pero at the end of the day kailangan pa rin nila ibenta yang mga Acer One na yan lalo na pag marami ng supply and eventually they will have to relent.

• tony_santos on July 08, 2008 09:21 PM

  @ COOLTOYZ
  I agree with you about that. With great hardware specs it will still depends on the Operating Systems that you will use.
  Windows XP maybe discontinued but its still supported by Microsoft...
  But there are still alternative like Linux there are some great distro to choose from like UBUNTU and tohers alike and the best part is its FREE...

  Well, the Olympics begin on 08 August 2008 08/08/08 and the Boeing 787 was launched July 08, 2007 07/08/07.
  
  I would prefer an older Thinkpad subnotebook (X-series) because they're around the same price, and in many cases processors that are equal to or faster than trhese new subnotebooks. Just make sure you get one with an XP or 200 COA and you have the original install (or at least know someone who can restore the factory pre-load)

• axelgalang on July 08, 2008 11:09 PM

  softwares may be more vital to pc's than cellphones but still softwares make the cellphones function. say for nokia, the os they are using is symbian..
  
  vista has no necessary capability that the xp doesn't have. ergo, it just means to say that umpc's hardware are enough to run the necessary softwares at this point in time and the next if ever softwares will be upgraded.
  
  you see, netbooks came out at this point in time because it bridged the gap of sufficient hardware (atom, 965 chipsets, wifi etc) and efficient software (xp and linux).. it will continue to be that way because both hardware and software will upgrade at the same time thereafter..
  
  at least that's just my opinion..
  
  note: gaming at this point in time is unbridged, at least for umpcs

  same here. ill just wait for the dell e to be released. next month daw naman na ung launching. patience...patience =)

• pao2x on July 09, 2008 09:23 AM

  wala naman yata distro dito ang dell....
  
  ok na acer aspire 1. hehehe

• zelgadys on July 09, 2008 09:29 AM

  meron na dell dito, i remember reading it sa news that they're now targeting RP market. But i dont know if distro or direct sila. If you visit Abenson/ Eletroworld they carry it na. Pwede pa nga credit card 0 interest. Pero right now i think best bang for the peso na 'tong Aspire One, considering Dell's usual high price.
