Hi, I know that several people who I talked to and are subscribed to this list are really excited about Asus EEE and want to buy it.
As you may know, Bezeq went out with a campaign that if you upgrade your ADSL to 4MBit, you can buy from them exclusivly the EEE for 39.90 a month (for 36 months). For more details, see [1] (it requires IE). The model that Bezeq sell if the Surf model (you can see comparison of models here [2]) which is problematic if you want more then 512MB RAM since the cover is closed and you have to open tons of screws in order to replace the SO-DIMM. It also doesn't have a webcam. I have talked to NirLight (which is the official representative of Asus in Israel) and they told me the following stuff: * You will be able to buy EEE from them starting March 30th * As much as I understood, There will be a Windows (HOME) version as well as the Linux version * They haven't determent the final prices yet. * 4GB and 8GB models will be available in black and white colors. * You can call Ronlight and register and you'll receive a notice when they'll start selling this machine officially If you want to read my review about EEE you can read it here [3]. I personally think that every sysadmin who respect himself should get one of these mini-laptops. The damn thing is 920 GRAMS including battery, and it WAY more comfortable then lugging around a full notebook or worse - using blackbarry/Nokia E90/E61/E62 to ssh to servers.
