Despite expecting ASUS' 10in Eee 1000 to become available earlier this month, we've yet to find one in stock from any of the UK's biggest retailers.

Nonetheless, we're now hopeful that it'll turn up at a lower than expected price. That's because Newegg.com, popular etailer for the US, has already dropped the 10in Eee PC's price from $649.99 to $549.99.

That's a rather healthy price cut, and though we doubt it'll be reflected in UK pricing, one can always hope.

We're still on the fence when it comes to subnotebooks, as are many of the HEXUS.community members, but, as prices begin to head in the right direction, we'll become all the more tempted.

I must say I've lost a lot of respect for Asus for previously saying that the 901 would be released in large numbers with no shortage of stock… I'm still waiting for a linux black 901 to be available somewhere for me to buy it!

It's starting to become terrible marketing practise today with many big manufacturers… If dell give a release date for their mini-inspiron, I might just forget my ideas of buying a 901 and get a mini-dell instead!
Asus are missing the point with the newer Eee models. Its not size alone, Sony have made small PCs for some time, it was the size combined with price. Even at $549 the Eee 1000 is too expensive. Its a good piece of kit and I want one… just not enough to pony up the silly money Asus are wanting!
I think they also need to knock off £50-70 on the 901 as well as that is way over priced.
all these mini machines seem to gain $100-$150 between announcement and availability

I don't care… I just want it available!… I was waiting for the 901 black linux, but I don't care about an extra 8gb HDD anymore, I was going to install XP on it anyway… I'll just buy a big high speed SD card! I'm just waiting for it to come available somewhere again now, I wish I had bought it from ebuyer when it was available but I was expecting the linux to become available soon… now I'm stuck with no choice again. As soon as I see either for sale somewhere at a good price I'll buy it.

But if news of the mini dell comes first, they can go <The swear filter is there for a reason, there is no need for language like that mate> themselfs, I know dell will release it when they say they will!
