The price of Asus Eee pc was listed around only $199 USD which is why many people were anxiously waiting for the launch date.

ASUS Eee pc comes shipped with Linux, but also with some very simple instructions for replacing Linux with Windows/XP if you have a licensed copy Windows available to install. However, ASUS announced on October 16, 2007 that a future version of the Eee will be sold with Windows XP. Microsoft agreed to lower the price of Windows for Eee PC users to under US$40. We are waiting that day, aren't we?

- Are there any disadvantages?

Yes, there are. The screen is a 800×480 resolution, an odd size. It can be set to 800×600, but that requires some auto-scrolling to get to the top and bottom of the screen. All in all the 800×480 resolution isn't bad, though. There are also no Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock indicators. However there is an excellent freeware utility available on the Web that places indicator lights in the system tray, which may take some time getting used to.

AiGuru S1

Asus AiGuru S1 VoIP Skype handset reviewed
While this may not match your speedy new Lamborghini notebook, the Asus AiGuru S1 handset should make your VoIP calling a bit easier -- while you're on the PC, at least. This Skype-friendly wireless handset resembles a Nokia candybar phone circa 2000, but touts the ability to connect via 802.11b/g to make calls. Unfortunately, that excitement was quickly put back on the shelf, as reviewers noted that it only connects via a computer with "customized software" installed (thoughtfully included on a USB wireless adapter), thus eliminating the thought of hitting up a VoIP call whenever near a stray WiFi signal. The 128 x 64 blue LCD was said to be "responsive" to commands, and the 2.5 hours of talk time should be plenty for all but the lengthiest chats. It was noted that the built-in voicemail was a tad buggy initially, but eventually worked itself out, and the most important praise came from the "perfect audio quality" when yapping over Skype. As somewhat of an afterthought, the phone does have an audio output for streaming tunes via Windows Media Center to your headphones or attached speakers, but we doubt your VoIP handset will become your favorite musical liaison anytime soon. The AiGuru S1 performed well enough to earn 8 out of 10 golden stars, but considering that you still need a (powered up) PC to use this thing, £69.99 ($132) seems a bit steep to get your VoIP on

Easy-to-Use and Do-it-All

The screen displays incoming calls, phonebook, call history and a wide range of functions just like on your mobile phone.
Call waiting and mute functions give you full control.
Speaker phone is available for easy conference calls.

Anywhere Music
The AiGuru S1 lets you wirelessly control PC Windows Media Player to create favorite song lists, then blast tunes through its high-quality speaker for music enjoyment anywhere.
