• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:47 King Paladin thinks I wld prefer the HP mini coz of the keyboard size and it is the best looking one.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:48 moby likes the HP mini.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:50 upstart agrees on the Mini-Note.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:52 rinaz likes the EEE pc, but is starting to like HP Mini and Kohjinsha. Want simple blogger pc
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:53 upstart just wants something he can fit a nice leather satchel. dun want to look like a backpacker.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:54 rinaz daniel, I think all of those can fit in your nice leather satches just fine
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:54 upstart says exactly!
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:55 rinaz but nothing beats the eee pc for being the most affordable though. The big negative thing about it is its linux is very hard to customize
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:56 rinaz VERY difficult to update the flash player, VERY difficult to install programs and there are issues in doing video streaming too
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:57 upstart says change the OS to Win XP?
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:58 King Paladin thinks the HP mini is not perfect either. Running Vista on a slow cpu... but if u want something nice and light... guess HP mini is still it.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:58 rinaz is not daring enough to change os to win xp ... hehehe (not mine to mod with)
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 08:59 rinaz prefers xp to vista
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:00 King Paladin thinks if only the next gen of via CPU is released. then can betta support Vista. HP mini got support for bluetooth. Good 4 transferring images
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:02 rinaz wonders why there is no review units being put up for bloggers (the launch not counted)
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:04 King Paladin says coz it does not need it, there is a shortage! Kenny Sia just bought one for himself.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:04 uniquefrequency says rinaz just received one here
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:05 King Paladin asks rinaz got a free mini?!!!
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:06 rinaz cobalt : he did? oh I didnt know that
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:07 rinaz UF : You got a review unit? What did you think of it?
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:08 King Paladin feels embarrassed. Oops! I misunderstood uniquefrequency 's plurk. Tot he meant rinaz has one review unit. Sorry.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:10 rinaz thinks she should get a UMPC with a webcam since surfing is what she does primarily. And a separate CPU for video editing
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:11 King Paladin says then u shld get HP mini. It has a very unobtrusive webcam
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:13 rinaz is looking at this forum thread : forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?p=5378995

• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:16 rinaz is starting to like the Acer Aspire One
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:19 King Paladin asks Isn't the Acer Aspire an inspired version of HP mini? Hey! I'll take a look at the Aspire version too!
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:21 rinaz but seeing as how the specs is similar to the HP Mini but is cheaper, I'm leaning more towards the Acer
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:27 King Paladin feels the same. But must see the physical unit to compare the finishings.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:29 upstart says yeah now i'm tempted too ><.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:30 rinaz according to engadget, its supposed to be out in September in USA. Would really love to get my hands on a unit to try
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:34 RicRoll feels that the hawtest mini-pc thingy is the MSI one though.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:40 rinaz thinks she will buy the Acer Aspire One for her birthday
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:41 RicRoll says rinaz GOOD choice, it looks FINE
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:42 rinaz but the MSI minipc is kiut too *confuzzled*
•

  June 05, 2008 at 09:45 rinaz says wait! The Aspire One will ship in July! Not september! Yay! I can really get this for my bday!
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:46 RicRoll says rinaz Agreed.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:46 upstart thinks he will buy one for his wife for our anniversary to replace her dying ibook.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:48 RicRoll says danielgoh Great choice my friend. What model though? and why not a MB in keeping with the apple tradition
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 09:58 upstart says she wants something small. plus we also have a MBPro and another ibook liao.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:05 Mintea asks what would be the RRP of the Acer Aspire One?
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:06 rinaz RRP?
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:07 Mintea recommended retail price?
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:07 rinaz Oh, its listed to cost about $750 sing dollars before GST
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:08 rinaz heck, its even cheaper than the Asus EEE PC most recent line
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:08 Mintea oh, that's still more than the eee pc. I saw that they have the 8GB or the 80GB HDD.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:09 rinaz you can choose for linux which is 8gb or the win xp at 80gb
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:10 Mintea says oh. I guess since the xp is a larger programme than linux.
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:12 rinaz xp is not *that* large but they have their own customized linux and i'm worried about not being able to install programs
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:13 Mintea says i've never used linux before so I wouldn't know. I don't even use my mac to it's fullest potential. *is a computer noob*
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:28 RicRoll feels that the Acer Aspire one may Rock so hard. but hey we'll all just have to see no? mintea don't worry we all learn!
• 
  June 05, 2008 at 10:38 melvinyuan says will be Live blogging at HP event next week on a HP Mini (provided by client)... let's see how good it is for folks like us...
