Thanks Floppy at VR-Zone




Asus Eee PC 900 to have 2 seperate SSDs


This doesn't sound good..

Click here to see more



There is 4GB soldered to motherboard and 8GB / 16GB on pcie slot. 8GB for xp and 16GB on Linux versions.

The 4GB part is the master so OS is installed on that...
..I'd rather get only 8GB / 16GB than 4GB for os and separate for files...

This will make problems for non tech users..

Let's see where this is going.. and hope there is something good on this setup.

UPDATE: looks like the 4GB internal SSD has been upgraded to 40MB/s !

It is small. It is 30 mm wider than Eee but still very small



That 6 cell battery looks a bit wierd for me, but it is a good thing to have an option for better battery life. Xavier told he was getting some 4.5 hours with it.

HSDPA on Samsung Q1 Premium


It's not available from Samsung with HSDPA, but it's "a simple process" to upgrade yourself...

Click here to see more


Technoviking did it and he is saying:

"I’ve been consistently getting 1.8Mbps down which is quite good. It’s a joy to not have to have any dangle hanging off the device and makes life much easier. I’d highly recommend the modification to anyone with some technical skill."
