I actually saw an 8GB Asus EEE PC at Pccorner's online store, Laptopking.com.ph. I'm satisfied with the Asus EEE's current specs. BTW, visit my blog for the Asus EEE PC Review

I am tempted to buy it because of its portability. I just don’t want to carry a $2000 dollar brick. I will decide to buy within the week.

I will be buying 2 Asus Eee PCs, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

I will remove the Asus modified Xandros distro and install Eeebuntu (Ubuntu for Eee). We prefer Ubuntu over Xandros, but Xandros is great, too bad you have to pay for it to get a desktop.

Also, I doubt Filipinos will be disappointed with it. You just need to give a short and eye-opening explanation about Linux and demonstrate it to them. I am converting people to use Linux for their home desktop PCs, success rate is 8 out of 10! I’m just not dedicated to converting people… unless I get paid :p

i guess the complaints about the screen isn’t much on the 7″ screen but on the woefully low 800×480 resolution. if it was 1024×600 or something near that, it would have been much better.

currently the 8g model are available through importers meaning no local warranty, local distros are still waiting for their orders to get here (or did it already arrived?) will see next week for an update….

Here is the news item on the bigger screen asus. My blog is number 1.

I’d go with the 7″ version (considering that a 10″ version receives the go signal) anytime.

BTW.. There’s an 8G here now? Can anyone direct me where?

I heard it’s more like an 8.9-inch screen with WiMAX support, which would just be fabulous.

what would be disruptive will be a 30-40GB version for roughly the same (or a little higher) cost. Then as time goes by, cost goes lower.

That would really change the game.

Yes, Asus has denied that there is a 10″ in the works.

By: JuP

JuP — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:07:03 +0000

the 10 inch is just a speculation i believe…

where did you get this info?

i have an eeepc, and the most believable is therelease of the 8.9″ which will hopefully be announced next week by asus – but that has yet to be back up by credible proof, so everyone is waiting for next week’s announcement… if ever will it come..

the 8g that is currently available in the phils is still 7″

Obviously Fujitsu, Sony or any other laptop manufacturer couldn’t do this because there wasn’t a market for this type of product before the OLPC project came into the picture. Now that there is a market for these types of computers after the OLPC project, it makes sense to produce these kinds of computers. It’s a chicken and egg thing; large companies just simply thought that there wouldn’t be a demand.

I’ve got an Asus Eee. I love it! The 7″ display is fine for me, I wouldn’t want to make the pc any larger to get a larger screen.

I say no to that. I like the 7″.

I’m actually pondering to buy a portable myself this year. $499 should be in the ballpark of my budget. Anything more could be turn-off.

Its being sold in Greenhilss for less than 20K.

One thing that most user will not like about it is the OS. It comes with a Linux distro so those people who don’t like linux they still need to wait for the MS based one.

Another thing is that it doesn’t comes with an optical drive (obviously with the Asus EEE’s size).
