2007 in Review No. 6: Asus Eee PC storms the market
Part of our series of festive posts looking back at the key happenings in 2007… Who would have thought that a £219 laptop would have been THE hard-to-find gadget for Christmas 2007? Apart from the Wii, of course (I’ll get to that in another post). Asus has been shovelling Eee PCs onto the shelves as fast as it can, but they’re being snapped up just as fast.
Eee PC an actual statistical success – 350,000 sold already, says Asus
It’s today’s Asus Eee PC News of the Day!
Today’s Asus Eee PC news is the official global sales figures for the thing so far – it’s done a whopping 350,000 already, compared with the official pre-launch estimate/hope of 300k. And if parent company Asustek could’ve made more it would’ve sold more – Eee PCs of all specs and sizes are still annoying sold out pretty much worldwide.
To celebrate, here’s a particularly angelic and festive promotional image of a lovely happy family all brought together by the mega-portable laptop:
Asus Eee PC is IN STOCK at Firebox…
We don’t normally plug individual retailers’ offers of products that are generally available, but we’ll make an exception this time. See, I know five or six people desperately trying to buy an Asus Eee PC, and having no luck – with most computer retailers saying they won’t be getting a new batch until January.
Long term review: Asus Eee PC
You might remember my positive review of the teeny-tiny Asus Eee PC a few weeks ago (if you don’t, here it is). When the review sample went back, I was as good as my word and bought one, seemingly just before they sold out across the UK. With that in mind, I’ve got several weeks more usage under my belt, and a few more points to add.
Asus is aiming to sell a staggering 3.8 million Eee PCs next year – some with Windows on
Although the fact that it’s currently sold out everywhere in the whole world doesn’t give us a huge amount of faith that the Asus manufacturing facilities can churn out that many of the uber-portable laptops.
The big new selling point that’ll push the Eee PC to the ‘next level’ is Windows. Currently the Eee PC ships with a very cool version of Linux that’s lovely and…

The Asus Eee PC now comes in green – in Germany, via Taiwan
Got yourself an Eee PC yet? The hyper-ultra-mega-portable is this year’s hottest Christmas gadget (among people who’ve already got iPhones), with the £220 mini PC currently setting eBay on fire and raking in a decent profit for anyone who’d got one to flog off.
It’s pretty much sold out across the world right now. 10,000 have gone in America since launch…
Review: ASUS Eee PC 4G is the little laptop that deserves to be huge
You gets what you pays for, right? Which is why if you want an ultraportable laptop with a decent battery life and wireless capabilities, you pay through the nose. Until now, anyway. The ASUS Eee PC is a small, light Linux-based laptop selling in the UK for £219, but with features you’d expect to see in something double its price.
The question is whether its small size means a too-cramped keyboard, whether it’s powerful enough to run all the applications you’d want, and whether its battery life is up to the job. Does it deliver? Read on for my verdict on the 4G model.
ASUS denies 10-inch Eee PC reports as OS X Leopard squeezes onto 7-inch model
I could rhapsodise for hours about the new ASUS Eee PC, and I will in my full review early next week. But suffice to say I’m sold on the pint-sized Linux laptop’s charms. So are plenty of other people, judging by the blogosphere buzz.
