Hum… maybe I’ll buy an electric car before, is it April 2009 or April FOOLS ?

As payment for this delay, I think asus should force steve balmer to ofer an Linux Eee to our prime minitrer in public news and make him say: See how easy this one is?… (showing the screen).

Well, we’re in mid-May already and no sign of the EEE PC in Portugal. Damn this.

I’m Portuguese too, and I’m waiting to get my hands on one of these babies since it came out. I really don’t understand why Asus is only targeting some countries while others are left out. Their criteria is simply ridiculous, they release the EEE in richer countries, while poorer countries (a better target for the low priced goodness of the EEE) are left out. A Portuguese version suitable for Portugal and Brazil surely would be a huge success.

Somebody teach some basic marketing skills to Asus reps please!

@Jer,

Milen is right, at least in Latvia we have English version Eee-s, no company will localize laptops for a country with population of 2 million

Here is the link for one of shops. 219 Lats (Latvian currency) is almost the same as 219 english pounds (or ~300 euro).

@Jer
If you cannot order an EeePC from Germany or UK, why don’t you try ordering from Lithuania or Latvia? The EeePC is available there according to the info I got from a topic on EeePC on a Russian language forum. As far as I understood, they sell an English version of the EeePC there and not a localized one. And Lithuania and Latvia are close enough to Sweden, so the shipping charges should not be very high.

Thanks for reply. I know it’s off topic, but still – the latest gadgets I bought were mainly from US:
1) unlocked iPhone for my wife: 500$ from US
2) 2 Gig AData RAM for Asus Eee – 45$ from US
3) 16 Gig AData SDHC card for Asus Eee – 100$ from US

Bah, a set of Shure e2c here cost roughly twice as much here as in the USA. ‘Nuff said.
