Canadians can buy the Eee too -- Radio Shack/The Source has a deal now where you can order online and have the machine shipped to a nearby store for free, or to your doorstep for obvious delivery charges. $400.

This pic is a bit small but it's just what I needed to get an idea of the size

Taken from a rather handy Downloadsquad article

Hopefully I should be getting mine next week.

i was >-< that far away from clicking the order button yesterday.

has anyone found any problems with the hardware or anything so far (ie early batch nanos with scratchable screens)?

The forums at eeeuser.com are probably the place to look for that sort of thing. I haven't seen anything there yet though.

yeah, ive had a quick scan round the forums, and apart from the one with the broken screen, i've not seen any people complaining...

I just phoned up Asus Laptops and I'm getting a black eee PC next week

They're getting theirs on Monday and are going to be shipping them out as fast as they can.

Also the stoned guy wasn't stoned today

*Edit* Typed Tuesday instead of Monday.

Good choice. I think the black one looks much nicer.

just looked on the asuslaptop site about the black ones..

Â£17 delivery to mainland uk?!?!?!!

Yeah. The postage charge is a total ripoff. However when I preordered they were listing a cheaper price than they are now so including postage I get it for the same as the current price before postage.

Be careful though. With preorders they charge your credit card straight away.

Are they doing the pink ones over here? My Hello Kitty-loving publisher took one look at one of the the Eees in the office, clocked that there's a pink one in the promotional bumph and decided that she has to own one.

In black as well, for the more discerning Hello Kitty fan.

If Asus cut a deal with Sanrio they'd be on to a major winner.
