A buyer should have a definite idea of brand, screen display size,processor, ram, HDD, accessories etc.I was wondering if an existinglaptop can be made faster using the ram stick mentioned in some articles I've read.

Lenovo is the new brand since the merging a few years back. That's why I love Lenovo other than it being Chinese and the great features, it is an IBM product as well.

It gives much more bang for your buck than an Asus Eee PC 900 which is at the same SRP. Then again, it all depends on your needs and preferences. Need a decent mobile workstation, get an HP, Lenovo or Acer etc. If you want something to be a "lifestyle" device go get the Asus Eee PC 900. There are plenty of choices for everyone.

Maybe you can do a comparison of 12" laptops also. I'm reminded of PC Corner's BenQ Joybook 6000: http://www.pccorner.com.ph/products.do?action=showproductdetail&categoryid=102&productid=2340 It's only 1.6kg, Pentium M 1.75ghz, 1 GB RAM and 40GB hard drive for P25k. Too bad my pal already bought an eee PC 701 before I saw this one on the net. Nice comparison list. Maybe you can do a comparison of 12″ laptops also. I’m reminded of PC Corner’s BenQ Joybook 6000:

The eeePC 900 comes with 1GB of RAM, how much more will all of those systems cost to come with 1GB of RAM? Asus should price the eeePC around 22-23k, else it will be cheaper to import from HK or Taiwan. A good comparison for these laptops would be benchmarks, then you would know which one would give you the best bang for your buck. Not to mention the eeePC can be held in one hand like a paperback book. If you look at all those, they have little RAM, which is important on Windows XP and slower processor systems.

i am still holding up the purchase of an ultraportable until they come with the next gen ULV processors (either Intel Atom or VIA Isaiah) so the battery capacities can be maximized. the MSI Wind is reported to still be on track for its June release and early trackers are pegging the price at around US$650.
