J and R needs to do a better job clarifying the differences among the ABSURD number of eeepc models and flavors!

And more clarity in terms of processors differences, and some straight talk about underclocking etc. I got burned on the 701 last year -- sad to see that Asus and its retailers have only added to the confusion since then.

Doris: It does not come with a case or cover. However, portable DVD sleeves have been known to fit quite well.

Do a carry case or cover come with these? I'm fixing to order 2 but want to make sure they are in stock first.

Selrouge: As of today, we have both the Windows and Linux version in the store. You might want to give a call before coming in, though, as it's a holiday weekend and the store will be very busy.

Not Telling: I preordered mine on the 10th at 1pm, the first time I saw that J&R was taking preorders.

@knicksdefense

I hope your enjoying my laptop. It really looks like like quite a fun device. Please take care of it, I STILL haven't even got a notification from JR since I preordered almost 2 weeks ago. Thanks JR, your the best.

The best at lying to your customers and selling their laptops to people who who stroll in off the streets and like the knicks.

i got my eee pc 900 thanks to j&r, the best there is.

also, i got mine directly for 1 park row J&R in NYC, it came with the 5800 mAh battery, take that to the bank.

the black one would have been nice but I can't wait that long and I'm really digging the white thus far, my dell inspiron 8100 was black enough for the past 7 years, time for something different, something truly portable.

the ONLY problem I have with it so far is the webcam application that is stock on the Linux version is pure crap. I am 99% certain this is a software problem because the XP version on the floor at J&R had a beautfully working webcam. i'm not a big fan of the ogg vorbis video codec, and it is only a matter of time before I swap this thing out to Ubuntu in any case, I'm sure they've got several webcam apps in their repos.

just don't have time to do that right now, so I'll stick with the xandros and continue to write asus complaints hoping they'll make an update...

Warning: When they expect to get it, and when they will actually deliver it may vary by a few weeks.

Also, just because you have a preorder doesn't mean that you will get priority on it, they would rather just sell it to people off the street.

When do you expect to get ASUS Eee PC 900 with XP in Galaxy Black?

Re: The Perfect Mobile Computer is Spelled ‘Eee’

I to am very dissapointed with J&R's inability to deliver a product like they should have. If you want compete with amazon and buy.com, you have to be as reliable, and J&R have proved that they are not. You have simply failed to deliver.

The ones sold in the US have the 5800 with them.

Re: The Perfect Mobile Computer is Spelled ‘Eee’

Jimmy — Sun, 18 May 2008 09:54:10 -0000

The 5800 mah have not been released yet. it's going to be the 4400 mAh.

Still looking for an answer to my battery question. I want to know which battery I will get- the 4400mAh or 5800mAh. It seems to make a difference

Same question as JD above. Any news on when would J&R have the black eee 900 Linux on stock?
Thanks a lot!

I have learned my lesson when a new, "hot" item comes out....Rather than attempt to order online, only to find out three days later that is it is backordered, I order by phone directly from the vendor, asking if the item is in stock for immediate delivery. J&R has always been honest with me and only told me that it is "in stock" if it actually is in stock. Living in Connecticut, I usually get my order the day after I telephone order it.

The new eee 901 is on it's way in June. Has an Atom processor and will be offered in a 10" screeen size. It also will not be branded with ASUS but rather "eee PC" which would indicate Asus is pushing it as it's own brand. No price has been set yet.

MSI Wind promising everything under the sun for $400. let's see them deliver. watch it hit for $650.

Re: The Perfect Mobile Computer is Spelled ‘Eee’

JD — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:18:18 -0000

I'm waiting for black 20 GB. Any idea when we might see it? I've heard the UK has theirs. I know it doesn't make any difference to J&R whether you sell me a 900 or an msi Wind, but it might matter to Asus!
