    I'm guessing he was pricing the parts up from Scan and installing himself?

    Re: Asus EEE laptop?

    Yup, theres going to be an 8gb hdd and 1gb memory version released before X-mas but no one know the pricing and there also releaseing a version with xp but again pricing is missing.

    This way I can have some fun as all the drivers and software are on asus site any way for xp.

    I am really interested in this Laptop right now, I'm in need for small laptops to bring to Lectures with and do some small programming + word processing, this fits my needs perfectly!

    And of course - it's not quite as bad if someone steals this - as opposed to a super "uber spec" model.

    So long as its powerful enough to browse, run a couple of emulators, etc - would be fine as a fourth machine for me

    Re: Asus EEE laptop?

    The EEE is interesting - maybe for taking on my travels, etc. Not the end of the world if it gets lost/stolen/damaged. Enough to browse on, remote desktop ... Watch hi-def too I hope.

    Re: Asus EEE laptop?

    Let us know when you're likely to have stock. I'm interested - i think i'd go for the 512mb model. Can't decide on black or white though. Hmm.

    Re: Asus EEE laptop?

    It'd be really interesting if you can install DVD/CD playing software on it, for around the same price as high end portable DVD players you get a full laptop to boot.
