    You mean we won’t be having a hard disk version locally?

    will this be much better than msi wind? considering this one got the sdd which does not with the msi wind.but the msi wind got a lower price though.

    tempting….

    The MSI Wind wins in the price department.

    I would say the very steep price of the SSD makes the hard disk a much better choice. I’ve been holding off buying the MSI Wind myself. I hope they release a hard disk-fitted eeePC 1000 here in the Philippines.

    any idea when the Gigabyte M912V will be out locally? reviews anyone?

  8. Gravatar Icon makulet replied on Jul 28th, 2008 at 6:53 pm (8)

    so, does it mean…the MSI Wind would be a smarter choice than the Asus Eee Pc 1000? I don’t care how much would be the price. still, performance wise… ;)

    @ 1knife - looks like the Gigabyte M912 will be sold here locally. i’m hoping it pushes though

    Yet another version of Asus Eee PC. Saving…

  11. Gravatar Icon kryptoniangurl replied on Aug 7th, 2008 at 1:29 pm (11)

    urgh. its really mind buggling. can’t decide which one is better. the asus eeepc 1000h or the msi wind. msi wind is very tempting having that great elegant looks, and that undeniably awesome specs i couldn’t resist. imagine 2GB MEMORY and 320GB storage, more expensive though compared to the 1000H. but the 1000h is more affordable and has more battery life than the msi wind.

    other than these things, which has better performance, durability, and efficiency? can anyone help?
