I was reading discussion on PMT Forum that some 12 x Rural banks offering this as a 'Freebie' if you place Php250,000 into a 90 Day Peso Time Deposit. If you dont want the ASUS Mini-NMotebook, they offer Php15,000 CASH, so the price looks about right for this model? The Interest on said 90 Day CTD is 12%pa. Compared to say BPI, that offers only 3.375% for 91 Day CTD for 200k - < 500k, the Bank seems to be offering very good Interest rate as well as uch ASUS Notebook PC. Alternatively you could drop to 10%pa on their other 90 Day CTD 'Promo' and get an 8GB iPhone (or Php25K CASH alternative, which would probably buy a better Mini-Notebook than this probably?) I was searching for what Model ASUS Notebook might be offered and came across this website, so thought you guys might like to know it is avilable for FREE?

I am always laughing at people who fill their HD with hundreds 6-10MB each pictures that if viewed on a regular res, would take up a 50 inch monitor... why? also, get a DVD shrink program if you like vids, and compress them to 1/6 the size. at this size monitor, it will look clear enough... when you need to upgrade your memory, say in a year or so, just buy a 8gig SD card when you need one. by then, the price of those will be about half of what they cost now (even now they are not that expensive) or as someone said, a portable 120gig HD would be fine as well. and they are nice and cheap already. (relatively speaking) the camera is of a good enough quality for "webcam" style pics. repeat, DONT WASTE THE BEAUTY OF THIS MACHINE WITH XP!! joaquin some advice
