Got it for 16.7k in Mumbai.

Re: Asus EEE PC Review

Congrats for your new baby..I am repenting my decision to buy the EEE in Germany as it is completely out of stock here and is not expected soon.Infact they are suggesting waiting for a couple of months and buying the 9 inch version and I think that would be the right thing to do!

Re: Asus EEE PC Review

Yep. That would be a better choice. The new 8.9"ers would be $499-599 at launch with the new diamondville proccys and 12gb ssds.. Good luck with your EEE.

Re: Asus EEE PC Review

Does this have open Office, more precisely, will it run OO well, for making presentations and write ups?
Can it be connected to multimedia projector?
And it doesn't have a CD drive I guess. By the way, is it available in India?

Re: Asus EEE PC Review

1. openoffice, i guess yes. else u can prob install it. OR just put XP on it

2. YES, it has VGA-out.

3. No CD drive. it doesn have 3USB ports. so ucan connect an external CD/drive in a extenal case to it.

4. Yes, available at chroma retail stores n also with some other dealers. ~ 16-17k

Re: Asus EEE PC Review

Thanks techie
^^^ I would never install XP on it. But I learnt it has OO as default office suite, So I guess that wont be a problem.
By the way I learn't that EEE PC 2.0 is just around the corner.
