Finally, I and frog had bought our mini tiny laptop. We bought AXIOO Pico that weighs only 1.2kg (including the 3 cell battery). They only had pearl white in color…..no black in color… My previous Laptop is NEC and weighs 2.8kg… So heavy rtg…haha….We had chosen this over the Eeepc 1000H and the MSI WIN due to the price and the weight. AXIOO Pico cost only $748 while Eeepc cost $888 and MSI WIN cost about eight plus too. The hard disk space (160GB) is also bigger compare to the Eeepc and Win. However, I and frog had encountered some problem with the wireless connection. The lappy can’t detect my house wireless… We were so fed up last Saturday as I and frog keep trouble shooting on what had actually went wrong… We can detect neighboring network but not ours… This is so maddening!!! The next morning we went down to Funan to ask the salesperson what had actually gone wrong to the lappy. We tested out the wireless @ Mac Funan and we could connect to the net. Frog’s laptop can stay connected for about an hour plus and mine stay about half an hour before it gets disconnect. However, it gets reconnect again. Seriously we that that this AXIOO Pico is perfect except that for the wireless problem… We seek help from my brother on the internet issues and he helps us troubleshoot on the sun afternoon. He managed to find our home network…. We are so happy.. Thanks bro… My bro is an IT expert…kekeke…Happy that we managed to find the network but…. It always gets disconnected… This is so argh!!!!! We spent our whole weekend solving problems for the wireless issues…So time consuming and tiring.. Mentally strained… OMg… We are going to take our lappy for servicing and hopefully they can solve our problem… If this problem is solved, my Pico will be a perfect laptop.. I can bring it anywhere and do my FYP on this laptop...So cool…. Yeah!!!! I did use the laptop @ NUS and it connects very well.. Erm so not so sure now on what is the problem… Will try out more and see how it is. The below is the link to the website for the specifications for AXIOO Pico.
Praying hard that the wireless issues can be solved!!!!
Wat a weekend……

I have the same problem as yours. My pice can detect my home wi-fi, but will later will disconnect and then acquiring network address without result. I believe this is a problem from realtek hardware inside this pico.
If your pico has finish on their service center, please let me know whether the result is good or poor. If the original wi-fi hardware still has the same poor result (disconnecting) probably the good solution is to buy an USB wi-fi receiver so we don't have to depend on wi-fi receiver inside this pico. But it is expensive of course.
I am also encountering a similar problem. I was only able to connect to my home wireless network after some trouble, and was unable to connect to the Wireless@SG network at a nearby McDonald's just this morning.
Good thing I have a 3G modem too!
WOO! I also want something like Axioo Pico. How's the 3-cell battery life with wi-fi turned on? can it last more than 3 hours?
