Canadian online reseller NCIX has began advertising the Asus Eee in its website. It lists three models (prices are in Canadian dollars) -
| Eee700/2G/25... | ASUS Eee PC700 Celeron M 7IN 800X480 WLAN 10/100 DDR2 256MB 2GB LAN Linux Camera Notebook W/ Bag (Eee700/2G/256M/Camera) *Usually available in 2-5 days | YES* | $329.99 | BUY |
| Eee700/2G/25... | ASUS Eee PC700 Celeron M 7IN 800X480 WLAN 10/100 DDR2 256MB 2GB LAN Linux Notebook (Eee700/2G/256M) *Usually available in 2-5 days | YES* | $284.99 | BUY |
| Eee700/4G/51... | ASUS Eee PC700 Celeron M 7IN 800X480 WLAN 10/100 DDR2 512MB 4GB LAN Linux Camera Notebook W/ Bag (Eee700/4G/512M/Camera) *Usually available in 2-5 days | YES* | $439.99 | BUY |
Some points of interest:
1. The webcam is missing in the list of features for the $284.99 (approximately U$267.43).
2. The website indicates the standard 2 year Asus warranty applies.
3. ETA is end of September 2007.
4. Shipping weight is 10 lbs! Don't know what else is included to make it that heavy.
5. NCIX is naming it PC700 instead of PC701. Not sure if it is just a repeated typo.
6. Zero dead pixel guarantee appears to apply only when you purchase the optional express coverage ($17.10). Free express shipping is also included when with the express coverage so depending on applicable shipping charges, it may not be a bad deal.
And as pointed out by reader vito cassisi -
7. Lower-priced models have only 256 MB RAM. :(
