Quite a rip off. I was at PC Corner looking at the Blue H1, a local version of the ASUS, SRP 16,995, and they were quoting 19,000, so not surprised.

@Kinnison> That’s really 12GB.

Yup, it’s definitely overkill! And I was waiting for it too. Too bad.

an 8Gb 9 inch Asus EEE for our local price is really but you probably spend the same amount of money when you buy abroad. because you have to pay for shipping and taxes.

What makes this better than the other 30K portables is that it is a touch screen capable sub notebook

By: Rico Zuniga

Wait a few months and it will definitely go down even below 30k. I’ll buy one at 27k.

@Kinnison, that’s 12 gigabytes.

I’ve been waiting for an announcement such as this but I expected it to sell for only ~25,000. I’m sure it will be cheaper when we buy it off the shelf from local stores, but we’ll need to wait longer

Abe, you’re forgetting it’s multi-gesture and it’s not using SSD but regular flash memory.

WinXP version comes with lesser SSD than Linux. But they are of the same price.

But still, it should not be at 33,900…

Sobrang mahal! Even at P45:$1 (ibig sabihin may profit margin na), dapat mga P25,000 lang iyan. Yup, I agree with Arnold. Iyong Neo laptops na lang, o di kaya wait for the Atom-powered UMPCs that are coming very soon.

For mobile users mainly interested in basic wordpressing, spreadsheeting (teka, sounds… nevermind), and surfing/emailing, the 9-inch Asus Eee PC is worth it.

My back and neck agree. :-]

P33,900??!!! Why can’t we get these stuff at the same as as the other countries are getting it? Why? oh why?

But anyway, there are neo laptops offered at the same price with powerful features and a bigger screen. Who would want to buy the Asus Eee PC 900?

O kaya, wait for the Atom-powered Eee PC 900 sometime in June, if you want a faster machine.
