*DEAD* Eee Pc 1000HA 160 gb 6 Cell $463(tax in)after MIR and Free shipping in Ontario

[daffod]

Folks,
i found the ASUS EeePc 1000 pearl white for $ 479.99 but have to pay GST and than $ 40 rebate.

http://www.compu2000.com/product/6043/EPC1000HA_WHI001X/ASUS/

(Mods feel free to edit link)

$ 479.99 + $ 24 GST(ontario) + Free shipping = $ 503.99

$ 503.99 - $ 40 MIR = $ 463 in Ontario

so far this is cheapest price i found for Ontario People. its a decent deal with 6 cell battery and in white.

Let our community decide if its hot or not. dont waste your time for stooples to get them in stock for $ 459 it will still cost more than $ 500 in ontario.

They still have 21 in stock. Make a quick decision not many left.

[appleb]

I'm not clear if this product is the 1000H or 1000HA.

The 1000HA shouldn't have 802.1n and bluetooth. The link shows specs for the 1000H but the vpn is EPC1000HA-WHI001X.

no pst?

[nogoro]

no pst?

compu2000 is based in bc so ont residents should have no pst

[vincent-poon]

wtf are the 4 youngsters doing in the picture?

[sonypcs]

decent deal on an amazing netbook.

judging by the model# EPC1000HA-WHI001X, it is the one without wifi-n and I think bluetooth.

It is around +/-$10 compared to the last staples deal w/coupons...

Hopefully unlike the last deal, u guys get the normal US keyboard layout.

It would be a pain in the A$$ having to deal with return/exchange over provinces & shipping.

only downer is the mail-in-rebate, that is so 2005.
Might be wiser to wait till next week, for a better boxing week deal.
or
better yet, maybe even pick up the 1002ha or nc10 for the same price.

Problem retailers are facing is drop in Canadian Dollar. I have one executive from large computer maker in one of my party at home told me dont think of getting same pricing again as when dollar was at par. thier new stock is reflecting about 17% rise in price. so to me its a very decent deal.

also staples pulled all of this model because retailer did RTV i dont read anywere that this model has keyboard problem. I know at 459 there is no margin unless unit was imported during the dollar par days. I can bet staples will never bring this model again. staples is selling HP like crazy and launching more and more new models. so staples dead is dead now.

[tryinginvain]

Weird that it still shows 21 in stock if at least one person here has bought one since the OP posted it. I'm thinking about it but I want the black one. I'm not sure I want it for $50 more so I might just jump on this deal. The N10J for $659 looks nice too but I don't think it's worth $200 more for me. I'm not sure there will be a better deal boxing week.....especially since a lot of the big stores don't seem to carry these.

Isn't it worth the $7 for insurance? I'm wondering why the two people here who bought it passed on that option. Am I missing something?

[tryinginvain]

The stock started dropping so I bought it. I went with the $7.20 insurance.

Now I need to try and sell my Dell C400.

That would be a nasty surprise to discover if you were expecting wireless N and BT, based on the description provided. Did anyone contact them to see what's up?

[djmackj]

is Compu2000 a reliable store? how long have they been around?

[flito ray]

thanks just ordered one.

[ZIgot]

Very hot deal!

[dgege]

If only the black one was the same price, I would have bought one in a heartbeat!

[nella]

nice thanks OP

[rvs007]

Thanks OP! I've been looking for the 1000ha for my dad for xmas. Staples dropped the ball on their 1000HAs so I'm glad I still got a good deal on one.

[angel_wing0]

hmmm..should i buy this or the apsire one --*

[flito ray]

hmmm..should i buy this or the apsire one --*

the asus has better build quality that apsire one

[dgege]

hmmm..should i buy this or the apsire one --*

Having used both machines, I can honestly say that the 1000HA blows the competition away.

[rvs007]

Their web stock count jumped back to 21 after being at 16 after I made my purchase last night. New stock?

[filet]

how is the eee compare to the Hewlett Packard Mini 1035NR Notebook PC? since if you stack 3 20$ coupon at staples the Hewlett Packard Mini 1035NR Notebook would be around the same price at 440$+tax. not sure if u can price match that +10% at futureshop that sells it at 550$.

but which one would you guys get?

if you want lowest weight, best keyboard, nicest looking get the hp, if you want battery life, faster and larger hard drive get the asus. Check my thread for more info on the hp

[snider]

I have this netbook, but the 1000H version bought also from Comp2000 months ago for about $550 taxes in (no pst to Ontario). I'm very pleased with it, my brother has the Dell mini-9 and this thing blows it away, larger screen, keyboard, HD, better viewing angle etc. As far as I know the HA version is lacking only the bluetooth and wireless N support, I figured that I wanted both of those in case I picked up a BT mouse.

[a8239]

how about if i live in BC?
is that still a good deal?

[tryinginvain]

According to an email I received a few minutes ago this does have the bilingual keyboard. I'm not sure if I'm going to cancel, I'll have to find a place to take a closer look at one.

Does anybody know where to get a good price on one of these (pref black) with the English keyboard? The best price I could find was about $50 more shipped but I didn't confirm the keyboard configuration.

[Shoryuken]

I bought a black 1000HA from memoryexpress.com in a store local to me in Calgary, and it was a US keyboard.

I was going to pick up this white one, but the added bilingual kb really does kill the buzz for me. can anyone else confirm this to be the case?

[tryinginvain]

"Basically all Eee PC selling in Canada are bilingual."

"The Eee PC is actually come with bilingual keyboard, please let me know if you want to continued the order. Should you have any question please feel free to E-Mail us to customer.care@compu2000.com, or call us at 604-288-4999."

If you want more confirmation you can email or call them but this is what they told me today. They also told me they are a sister company of NCIX and share the same warehouse.

[xxgg]

i am gonna wait a month or two when new netbooks come out
with lower power Atom CPUs (Dell Mini is already using them)
But on top of that new netbooks also should be using a new chipset
which is even better on power efficiency.
Hope battery life will be minimum of 6hours.

[tryinginvain]

I cancelled it.

I found the black 1000HA for $489.95 from PCVonline. My shipping address is in Quebec so no pst but $20 shipping. They tell me it's the English keyboard. For black and that keyboard it's about $25 more for me.

[evanx]

Pretty good deal for a Eee Pc 1000HA!

[bdragon]

This means BOTH shift keys r gonna be out of easy reach while touch typing, gonna suck for a many people.

If u really want it or have already got it and don't want to return it, u can use "KeyTweak" to re-map the keys, it works fine on mines since I don't play games, otherwise it would be annoying having the up arrow key above the right arrow key.

There should be an app out there that can switch back on the fly for gaming.



Make sure it is US keyboard, English could just mean its not in french, but still canadian layout.

Shouldn't worry as they have US keyboards, not bilingual. I have 2 from PC village and both US keyboard.

[Negotiator]

I don't know why you guys are calling it 1000HA. It's not. Unless Compu2000 screwed up something on their website, the deal is actually for 1000. Compare with Ncix.

but mir is for 1000HA

The name of the rebate form really is confusing, with "1000ha" included there. However, the form mentions that it's good for the model "EPC1000HA-WHI001X", suggesting that both 1000 and 1000ha qualify, since they share the same model number.

...Actually, now that I've looked through the MIR form a bit more carefully, it specifies
"PROMOTION #21465
DECEMBER EEE PC 1000HA $40 MIR"

What's surprising is that both Ncix and Compu2000 point to the same MIR on their websites.
I wonder whether this MIR will go through. I bought this netbook and it's going to be a bad surprise if MIR won't be accepted. Unless it's a honest screw up that those guys would be willing to fix, it kind of smells like a false advertising.

So is there a difference in the specs between the 1000 and 1000HA?

Yes. Wikipedia might not be the best resource for information but for this topic it'll do.

[rvs007]

I don't know why you guys are calling it 1000HA. It's not. Unless Compu2000 screwed up something on their website, the deal is actually for 1000.But if what you're saying is true and the model is 1000 and not 1000HA, then it doesn't make sense that the description of this model includes a 160GB hard drive and WinXP as the OS. The 1000 should only have 8GB/32GB SSD and running Linux, according to the Wikipedia page.

If Ncix and Compu2000 is false advertising, then PCVillage and Canada Computers are also doing the same thing as they are also advertising the same MIR for their 1000HA models.

I suspect NCIX and Compu2000 are really advertising the 1000HA models and in their description they simply left out the "HA" which is causing all this confusion.

[Negotiator]

1000 is a totally different netbook then the 1000ha, they just screwed up the specs

eg. the 1000 weight 1.33kg, 1000ha is 1.45kg. The extra weight is for the hdd and its surrounding cage.

this is the REAL 1000

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=31317&vpn=EEEPC1000-W004&manufacture=ASUS

Compu2000 does not seem to carry the REAL 1000

I dunno... I actually emailed CS department and asked them regarding this thing. Here's the reply I got from them:

Hi, Sir, you have order SKU: 35610, the 1000 model instead of 1000HA, and the VPN for 1000 model (35610) is that : EPC1000HA-WHI001X ,which means that you are qualified for the $40 MIR. For more info, you can check out here:

http://www.mirhelp.com/index.php?s=35610

and you can download the MIR form, fill it out and send it to the manufacture.

Cheers,

Sales Rep

If it turns out to be 1000ha after all, I'll be REALLY disappointed.
The only explanation I can think of is that there are several 1000 models rather than a single one.

[dlander]

It is the 1000HA.
No wireless N
No bluetooth.

I phoned and talked to a rep.
IMO, the add is confusing. But there is actually a small asterisk in the description.

Still not a bad deal.

[mightylobo]

I cancelled it.

I found the black 1000HA for $489.95 from PCVonline. My shipping address is in Quebec so no pst but $20 shipping. They tell me it's the English keyboard. For black and that keyboard it's about $25 more for me.

I got one from PCV back in Oct, and it's just English. No French! :D

[tryinginvain]

More good news...thanks. Hopefully mine is not different. I'm glad I canceled the white one, I really wanted black anyway and to get the English keyboard too is definitely worth it for me.

[polka]

I was all over it but no its not 1000 but 1000ha.

[daffod]

Yes its 1000HA and It has US key board only. NO french.
I received mine today and impressed. Yes rebate is also applicable.

[rvs007]

I received my order today and I can also confirm it's a 1000HA and has English keyboard.

It also appears Compu2000 is no longer selling this model for $479.99 before rebate and taxes. Also, they don't have stock (website says backordered). So it looks like this deal is over.

[daffod]

i upgarded it already to 2 gig Ram and 250 gb HDD working like a new born. i know deal is over but its heck of a machine.

[sonypcs]

THANKS !! I received my WHITE 1000HA today and it has an English keyboard plus everything they included inside...!!! Very Good Company !!!

[wildson]

I received mine as well from Compu2000, pure US keyboard, works great!

My only question is since there's no packing slip or any receipt in the delivery box, how could I claim the rebate? (the rebate required a original receipt or a packing slip)?

Any idea? Thanks.

My package came with a packing slip that is printed on a label. I'm also planning to include a copy of the shipping email Compu2000 sent. I hope that's enough.

[Negotiator]

Got mine also. Didn't open it yet - and as of right now have no idea how to go around the MIR.

[tryinginvain]

I got my black one from pcvonline today. It's an English keyboard so I'm happy about that. It did take them 8 days to ship - after I called them again yesterday. It's also been opened and has fingerprints everywhere so I'm not sure what the deal is with that. I'm at work so I'm not going to mess with it until I get home but I'm going to be pissed if they sent me a refurb or demo.

I only cancelled my order from compu2000 because they told me it was a bilingual keyboard.....and that was all they had.....and that as far as they knew all the ones in Canada were that way.

Compu2000 also told me they shipped the bilingual keyboard when I inquired, but I received an English only keyboard. It sounds like they don't have a clue what they have in stock.

The box I received had a green seal over the opening that said "check contents if seal broken" If your box had the seal broken or no seal, then I suspect you got a return/used model.

[tryinginvain]

The seal was broken.

[daffod]

The seal was broken.

good luck now you have to fight with jokers.

[rvs007]

I emailed Compu2000 regarding the receipt and they emailed me a copy. For those who bought from them, I suggest you contact them for the receipt for the rebate.

[rvs007]

Received my $40 rebate today in the mail from Asus.
