The Eee PC will be available just in time for Christmas at Myer Sydney from 1 December and Myer stores nationally from 2 December 2007, with a recommended retail price of $499 including GST.
Ted Chen, managing director of ASUS Australia, said Myer is a market leader in Australian retailing and we are thrilled to be partnering with them.
“ASUS have heard Australian consumers’ calls and with Myer’s support we will be able to distribute the Eee PC to the wider consumer community,” he said.
The Eee PC is being haled by Asus as a ‘lifestyle gadget’ designed for Internet access and learning. It provides users with Internet applications and mobile online experience.
George Papacosta, national electrical merchandise manager at Myer, said, he was pleased Myer had been selected as ASUS’ partner of choice in supplying the Eee PC to its customers.
“With the holidays on the horizon, we foresee the Eee PC will be high on this year’s Christmas lists, as it is affordable and a definite must have,” he said.
The Eee PC is targeted at young children and the education market, and is also ideal for travellers, as well as students and workers who are always on the move.
It can be used as a second or backup family computer, it is even simple enough for the not so tech savvy to use for sending emails, surfing the internet and writing documents, said Papacosta.
