Eee-owner wannabee list (2)

Looking down to the long list of Asus Eee owner wannabee at harry.sufehmi.com makes me tickled to write my comment.
  • Firstly, Whoa... more than targeted order / 100 order (approx. 750 comment/order while I write this), will they pay actually? will Asus consider this as a real order? (Dear Harry Sufehmi, please, please update us, on the negotiations with Asus Indonesia or Taiwan maybe ;P)

  • Secondly there are many of the owner wannabees ask for different configuration from the standard (minimum config - US$199). How much they want to spend for the extra configuration? AFAIK options for bigger screen or storage makes the whopping US$500-600, will they lose their choice /chance to buy affordable PC portables? Screen & Storage(SSD/flash based harddrive) size are the main component that set the price of this kind of portables. Particulary that SSD which is the new trend, 16GB SSD still mind-blowingly high priced (US$245 anyone?). Yet there are person willing to order the 20GB version (over the standard 4GB) with 10" screen (bigger than standard 7") of Eee , imagine the price :D

  • Thirdly (this is the bad news), According to an ex-hardware-columnist (CMIIW for the translation) from Chip Magazine Indonesia (That already been meddling with one of Eee prototype), It's will be daydreaming to have the Asus Eee with the same price when it was announced, specially when it hit Indonesia (in time).
Oh well, cross your finger Guys, I'm still waiting for it!
