Asus Eee PC with Linux same price as with XP
By Marques • Apr 10th, 2008 • Category: Computers, Gadgets & Hardware, News
Asus created quite a buzz when announced that would launch the famous Eee PC with Windows XP on it. This was, without question, an effort to reach those that still deem Linux as inferior.
What was surprising to me, after reading it at the Global Geek Podcast site, was that the price of the two versions is, for now, the same: $399.
If Asus and Microsoft reached some sort of agreement (maybe MS is starting to fear Linux after all) or if Asus is cutting it’s own throat to increase sales, is unknown to me, but looks very promising to reach a wider audience.

If you want to wait before buying to see what the competition has to say, you can start with the HP 2133 Mini-note PC.
