Re: [tlug] Asus eee < $200

By the way, I should mention for anyone that is currently in
Japan, particularly
Tokyo, that Yodobashi in Akihabara were selling brand new
701s (4GB ssd, 512MB
ram, windows xp, japanese) for about 19200 yen ... i.e. <
$200.

I popped over there today. Unless something has changed, it appears the 19,200 price is for something called a "data card set". The 4Gb EEE itself is selling for just over 44K yen. As is usual for Yodobashi (and Bic), the price placards were both taped to the sign with the specs for the EEE, which may have caused confusion.


And the Yodobashi models *do* appear to be WinXP-based.

FWIW, there was also a nice Kojinsha for 39K yen.
