Asda is sold out, aria had a few 2GB models on their super special but they had gone too by the time I went and looked. They still seem to have some stock.

I finally got to see one when my brother decided to have a look around Computer World. Its tiny, forget it if you have big fingers, but it works adequately and the screen is useable, although there might be problems editing large documents. The keyboard is adequate, for short use at least, actually much better than I was expecting. For the price its a steal, if you have a use for it, although it would have been even nicer if it was cheaper.

Decided to buy a 2GB one from ebuyer, I doubt if I would be using the full 4GB anyway and I could upgrade if I absolutely need to.

My first Linux computer, although I have dabbled with it in the past.

Where is Maxi when you need him?  :shrug:

Seriously tempted by one of these, they are difficult to find at the moment but you can see who has them in stock here. Think I might wait for the 8Gig version though, does anybody know when they will be available?

It doesnt include ebuyer, which was £10 cheaper for the 2GB version. BT price for the 4GB one looks good though.

No idea when they will do an 8GB version, they are trying their damnedest to keep up with supply of the ones they are shoving out now. TBH it shouldnt be too difficult to upgrade and you dont really need that big an internal disk anyway. [edit]Then again you could just use an eight GB USB dongle. [/edit]

Hopefully mine should be here by Friday, so I will have a look at it properly and put up a mini-review or something.

Seems to be a few eee sites popping up http://www.eeeuser.com/

just chuck a big fat SD car din and you are good to go.  

Arrived a few hours ago, as I said its tiny, very few initial problems but I havent got around to setting up the LAN yet

Issues, its slow to load large files in the wordprocessor, (tried a 56k words file) I could do with a simpler RTF editor.

Screen is a little small, but its still very useable, could do with an extra couple of inches but it isnt really a problem. Keyboard is going to be problematic for those with big fingers. This will make it a fantastic lappy for kids though, which it was originally intended as.

Probably worth waiting for the larger screen, but that is going to be more expensive.

Im waiting for the 10" screen version, its quite a leap up from the 7" screen considering that the case size will stay the same.

I have had a play with a couple of these and I think they are pretty mediocre, this bigger sized screen one sounds a much needed add on. Currently it looks like the side of a house with a window in it, surely they could have put a 10" version in from the word go.

Apparently at CES 2008 ASUS denied there being a 10" version. They showed a 1001 model eee pc a few months back with a 10" screen but now saying they arent going that route. Been reading a few articles to get the screen size to 1024x768 and getting xp on the things etc. Think I will wait for the newer versions to arrive as rumoured. Plus when I am not using it, it will be good for the bairn to pick it up and have a play around
