Hi Dilwyn,
I have just bought the October issue of PC Pro magazine, and Asus,
who make the Eee Pc have a massive 12 page advertising booklet
within it.
So, they do a very wide range of products.
In the notebook ( mini-laptop ) PC range the lowest priced is the
Eee PC 4G - with an Intel Mobile processor, Linux OS, 7" ( 800 x
600 ) display, 512Mb memory, 4GB SSD - priced at £169.36 RRP ex VAT.
So, a sub-£100 notebook is still a way off, as yet.
No, it isn't. PC Pro might not have featured one, but Elonex launched
the Elonex One in February; shipments are happening now - a £99
"notebook".
It is a rubbish device, with 128MB RAM, 1GB storage, 800 x 480 non-
touch 7" LCD (a small trackball is on the rear of it) and a 300MHz
MIPS-clone CPU, running an antique Linux kernel, but it is a sub £100
notebook.
The Eee is under £150 ex VAT now.
Acer's Aspire comes in 8GB, 120GB and 160GB versions.
Richard
