Eee PC 2G Surf Review

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 by ant

There’s a pretty good review over at notebookreview.com of the Eee PC 2G Surf. We’ve posted many reviews of the 4G, but never one for the 2G. It details the general features of the Eee PC, but also the differences between the 4G and the 2G Surf. You can also see pictures including the lack of a ram slot on the bottom of the unit.

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 by ant

For those who regularly read the eeeuser forum, you probably know by now that the Eee PC 8G, 4G Surf, and 2G Surf are now all available for purchase in the United States.

There are reports that the 8G Eee PC has no onboard SSD storage, but instead uses a 8G SSD card in the mini-pcie slot. For more information, check out this forum thread. The 8G’ s price is $499.

The 4G surf model goes for $349- it has a smaller battery then the regular 4G, and does not have a webcam.

Finally, the 2G surf model costs $299, and according to this thread actaully features 512mb of ram instead of the anticipated 256mb of ram. Good news!

Oct 16 announcement, End of Month in stores, Double RAM?

Friday, October 12th, 2007 by ant

According to this article from DigiTimes, ASUS will indeed announce the final Eee PC prices on October 16th. It does officially confirm that the $199 price point can only be reached by contract orders, as expected. An initial batch of 10,000 units will hit Taiwan markets after the announcement. By the end of this month, Eee PC’s will be available in the BestBuy / Newegg channels (as suggested in the last news update.)

Furthermore, x94scorp on our forums noticed a new update on the official ASUS website where the RAM specifications of the devices have all been raised. The 8G model has 1GB of RAM, the 4G and 4G Surf models have 512MB, and the 2G Surf has 256MB. Have the specifications been raised? Interesting!
