Wow, I never knew Asus Eee PC is such a hit among bloggers. I just got myself an Asus Eee PC 900. It comes with 4GB + 16GB of space and 1GB of RAM. Same size with the older version but with 9in widescreen. Only RM1,600++

I thought it was huge when I bought 300G Serial ATA external hardisk two years ago. Now almost 80% full and terribly slow too.

I am not always on the go, so I do not have such fancy mobile setup. External HDD is a must have because backup is always needed but till now I still haven't get one for myself.

I have iPod as my wifi detector, used it to check email.

If I really need to check my mail on the go, I just have to go GPRS on GMAIL.

It will be nice if Malaysia has cheap unlimited mobile broadband plan. As for the moment, cheapest is Celcom, but I am a Maxis user. If it's below RM50 then it will be great.

Blog with a 3G handphone if you're on the move. You can never use a laptop to blog when you are on site to make live updates.

Hey, why no one mention about scanner? I though scanner is also important for bloggers?

The wifi detector looks useless to me. It is much better to carry a PDA/phone that supports wifi. You can open up your PDA to detect it. Besides that, the PDA could be used as a blogging tool.

Speaking of PDA, just for your information, HTC has took over Dopod quite long ago.

A blogger should equipped with a HP with bluetooth + camera as well as a laptop with bluetooth. This will enable a real blogger to take snap shots as well as blogs on demand.

What about a GPS device? As GPS is getting more and more popular in Malaysia, I think a GPS device is useful for bloggers who write location-based contents, especially food bloggers.

You can simply include the GPS coordinate of a location that you're writing. Besides, with the help of Garmin Mapsource and Malsingmaps, you can also simply make a print screen image to provide a cool and geographically accurate location map. In a post I've written about Pulau Melaka, I've included a location map made from Mapsource print screen.

There's one more thing that bloggers should have: unlimited data plan to carry out live updates or just a short blogging on the move via a mobile phone.

I recommend (currently) Celcom's 3G unlimited data plan. It only costs RM68/mth and you can online anywhere you want via your mobile phone or notebook and do live updates straight to your blog using Flickr's blogging function (supports wide-range of blog providers such as Wordpress, Blogger...etc.)

I can simplify some of the above recommendations to just an N95 mobile phone:

- External harddisk: a mass storage device of over 4GB (some had tested up to 32GB)

- Wi-Fi detector: a wireless hub for several Wi-Fi-enabled devices to go online

For the mini-UPS, notebooks/laptops usually can last for about 2 hours on battery. When there's blackouts, you won't have the heart to do your work.

I wouldn't mind the Eee PC myself, but there are a few drawbacks. The 4GB memory needs to be supplemented by maybe a 4GB SD Card, the ram ought to be upgraded to 1.0GB. All can be done, but it adds to the cost.

In the end, I'd favour a 12inch DELL Vostro for 2.5k. It's only a kilo heavier than the Eee PC.

And no, Lenovo doesn't make 12inch notebooks for that cheap, so David Lian, you needn't suggest it even if it isn't your account :P
