No it isn't. Many of ASUS's notebooks come with a worldwide warranty, the eee pc isn't one of them. This is a problem if you take your Australian eee pc overseas on a trip and it dies. Remember the eee pc might have become a Linux geek must have toy, but ASUS's marketing dept doesn't see it this way. The original market is education, school kids are unlikely to need a global warranty. Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
