For all the EEE fans out there in Australia, Asus has just announced that their new Asus EEE will ship to selected stores around next week. Although a specific date has not been given yet, hands on reviews have hinted a release in Australia next week. One can be seen here: http://techblog.dallasnews.com/archives/20...-the-house.html
And on Asus' website: http://eeepc.asus.com/global/news04152008.htm
Although the previous EEE only came pre-installed with Linux as the OS, this time around there will be 2 options; XP with the sacrafice of a 12GB SSD, or a Linux with 20GB SSD. This is because Asus wanted to keep the prices the same, although it is quite peculiar that the Linux version will cost $649AU and the XP version will cost $599AU.
