Hi, I thought the lenovo netbook is $699? Today went there, only left with white

That's why I bought one without second though.....i was quite surprise because I read it was still going at $799 on Friday....I saw the Lenovo brochure changed twice because of that....probably it didn't selling well initially and the went for a kill on saturday given there are so many vendors selling equivalent specs netbook......they even throw in the 6 cell model this time round....in fact my friend went today to get the same thing but as you said...they left with white color :sweat:

The Lenovo booth itself was quite messy because it was co-run by 4 vendors if I am not wrong, only Best Denki and Courts allow 0% installment....Courts was the best deal with $649(1GB Ram) and $689(2GB Ram)...I took the 1GB because as I find 1 GB is more than enough for the XP home to run smoothly...$40 for the ram upgrade is really not worth it...i will tell you more if you are interested :thumbsup:

Wanted to buy the 8gb cruzo micro. But by the time I go there, all sold out liao. Thats really the best offer for thumb drive.

Actually Best Bargain in the show was selling the same thing at $25....I didn't bother because I kena a few time like they just put the price list for fun, most likely they have no stock too :dunno:

Was there, cant believe you guys can take it? The crowd is insane, I could barely move. My group of friends wanted to get a monitor, a few hard disks, ear phones etc but in the end, we travelled all the way from the west there, walked in, struggled a bit, got the first hard disk we came upon ie Maxtor, and left. Bloody waste of time.

I condemn Sitex and other exhibitions now. I'll rather pay more to shop in peace and comfort.

May I know how is the speed of netbook? One of the reason I contemplated is because my friend told me Atom processor not good, it is like celeron...

Yup, can feel the hesitation once a while, probably due to the CPU throttle from power saving, but it was a split second thing so I can live with it....the other thing is the heat...surprisingly the base was pretty hot for little burger like this...it was comparable to my Pentium M notebook....I guess that's something the future model need to address :think:

One thing I would like to emphasis is when buying a netbook, you are buying the portability...the convenient....so do not expect it to perform like a normal notebook...after all we are paying less than half their price....if you can set your expectation right, then I think you should be very happy with any model that is available now :thumbsup:

No wonder those laptop coolers are selling like hotcakes in the SITEX:bsmilie:

Quite true. How about those UMPC. They are damn expensive but any idea on their performance?
