releasing eee PC in india??

Yup.

Isn't it the same in price range ob about 15 k?

I am keen on this one.

Yup. am also very interested in this one..
Great for surfing and coding and reading..

wow!if it is true!

Man, just pray that they don't slam huge taxes in it!

can you please post the excerpts from your mail ??

Wud be nice as a secondary pc.

*eeepc.in/

what are the features and price of the 15 k base model ?

Hey I just found that its harddisk capacity is only 4 GB. Is that true

and does it have a USB port?

^^ well of course 3 USB 2.0 ports are there..
see here : *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC Look for the 4g model with webcam

and yes SSD capacity is 4 gb only

... which unfortunately the OS itself will occupy...

don't know why these people fuss over solid state memory though expensive..
a 20/40 gb HDD would have done equally well at same price point...

though the SSD is gonna make this one Tough.. but no-one goes around tossing one's laptop however tough it may be

anyways lets look forward to it..
BTW there are three competitors now..

ACi Subnotebook price ~15k
HCL Mileap X UMPC ~14 k

ASUS EeePC 4G ~ indian price ??

for UMPC,this is OK!also,if u want extra space,get a laptop harddisk of 80GB and get a usb 2.5" laptop hdd enclosure!even sata enclosures too are available when last checked hardware shops!

If I am right that would come under "extra cost"

It would be better to go for the ACi notebook more because its cheaper and has 40 GB HDD...... and still a stylish UMPC .. maybe build quality is bad but then it hasne been reviewed ..

Hey any links for aci and hcl models???

@Pathik...awesum news. thanks for the info, but the 4gig space will be a huge deterrent.

thanks for the info

Any1 who wants the aci semi and hcl mileap x info just check the techno news section.. We hav been discussing them all along. The mileap x seems to be crap. The aci semi seems good but no news of its release date yet.
