Goodbye, Asus eee PC?

Well, AllAsus.com now has a definitive price for Asus eee PC 700. Look at this search query to view their catalog entries for the eee PC 700.

AllAsus’s description:

* Units should start shipping in early October ’07.
* $150 non-refundable deposit required.
The Eee PC 700 $259.99 (2Gb) version is black only. The Eee PC 700 $299.99 (2Gb) version is in black or white and adds a webcam and carry bag. The Eee PC 701 $399.99 version is black or white with 4Gb storage, webcam and carry bag.

Remember when Asus announced that the eee pc would only cost US$200 (the lowest model, at least)? I was even hopeful back then, only to get disappointed by price changes and delays. And now, the promise is all but a lie, taken over by economic realities. So this means goodbye, Asus eee PC. Maybe when you get more decent specs at a more decent price, I’d reconsider.
