The next eee pc has been announced here http://www.asus.co.nz/news_show.aspx?id=10911 but does anyone know of a NZ release date and possible pricing? Will the 700 be discounted away in the coming weeks to clear space in the shops?
thanks

The Microsoft Windows version allows more experienced users to seamlessly utilize the Eee PC through the familiar Windows interface, and incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging; and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on the user´s desktop. Complementing this is Microsoft Works, which equips the user with numerous office applications to work efficiently.
I see Dick Smith now have them on their online store for back order (no stock available) with a price tag of $749 NZ for the XP version. So they can't be far away

One NZ distributor of the Eees have close to 2000x 701's in stock...
No idea on price drop however....
heavenly_wild: Cool, can't wait!
Can anyone tell me why XP version has a smaller hard drive? Why not the same?
Also, what is video playback like on these types machines (e.g. 701 series since the 900 isn't out yet)?
screemir: Some conspiracy theory about Microsoft trying to drive out linux pre-installed on new systems!!
