I was sent a copy of this deal from Maplin today, Looks to be a great price on the EeePC.
Its the Windows XP version that they are selling. You may not be aware but Asus is moving the Eee range to the larger 10’ models. Personally I prefer the 9’ screen. I think that the 9’ model is about the correct compromise of keyboard size versus portability. With sub notebooks getting larger, I think now is a good time to get hold of one of these before the format is ruined.
At this price it could leave you a few more pounds left over for a memory upgrade!
- Ultra-portable black 8.9 inch laptop
- Enjoy music and videos with the Eee PC's extensive support for a wide range of digital multimedia
- Use Skype or any other Instant Messaging client to connect with friends anywhere, anytime
- Rapid start-up time - the Eee PC is always ready for action
- No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly and intuitive graphic interface
- Windows XP Home operating system
- Up to 8 hours' of battery life
- High speed connectivity with Wi-Fi 802.11n
- 12GB Shockproof SSD (Solid State Disk)
- 1GB DDR2 memory
- Built-in Bluetooth for easy transfer of data
- 1.3 megapixel webcam
- 6-cell Li-ion battery
- Includes protective case
No close date was given on this offer, but since they are not selling them in the stores, its probably the case that when they are gone they are gone!
It’s best to have cheap laptop car chargers ready especially now that Asus Eee units are being upgraded to 10’ models which may require more power to run.
