Asustek’s low cost Eee PC has went on sale in Taiwan, though not at the price that I was expecting. A lot of people maybe dissapointed after reading the announcement since Asus Eee PC now starts at $299 and goes as high as $399 depending on the configuration which is a hundred dollar higher than the previously announced starting price of $199.

The lowest configuration of the Eee PC is dubbed Eee PC 2G Surf and has 256MB RAM, 2GB SSD, small battery and no camera. For power users the Asus Eee PC 8G is anyway the only choice. $399 is not that bad for a 7 inch notebook with 1GB RAM, 8GB SSD, webcam and 3.5h battery life.

I guess, I’ll just get a full blown laptop which is almost the same price Asus’s Eee PC 8G. Anyway for more pictures and details, you can find it here, here, here, and here.
