Did you buy the ASUS netbook yet? I've narrowed it down to this model, and would like to get something other than the popular "Black" color. I think I'm leaning towards the "Blue" color. I asked someone that bought the blue ASUS and they said it's darker blue than the picture and has purple highlights. I think that's a color I would like. Whatever color you choose really comes down to your own personal preference. Good Luck in choosing if you haven't already!!

As indicated in the title of the discussion: Asus eee pc 1201n. Pricing and availability have not been announced by Asus. That is the point of the discussion.

Thanks, Henry. I have this on my AMAZON Wish List and must decide in the next week or so. I'm leaning toward the BLUE.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

I have egirl..i have a 1005PE-PU and i installed the 667hz 2GB crucial ram...it is easily installed, works fine and is instantly recognized. My only problem is that the windows 7 starter is hanging up upon shutdown...leaves the blue light on the on off switch ON with the fan/harddrive running...i am wondering if the ram change had ANYTHING to do with this...the unit is brand new...have written asus AND microsoft for a hotfix or SOME solution...ring any bell with you?

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though

Bird's Word: I've tested 2 of the 4 front runners (Acer & OSI) and the biggest differences I've noticed between the 3 (I know nothing about Lenovo's product) are Price, Monitor, Warranty, Touchpad & Upgradability (in order of personal import). Winner Acer - Best Display (Reflective TFT), Warranty (2 Year US / 1 Year International - I've NEVER seen this before! - Buy with Amex and get 1 additional year) and Touchpad Management Features Honorable 2nd ASUS - Best Price for Retail Value & Only Unit w/ Upgradable RAM Distant 3rd OSI - Best Screen Size (Non-Reflective TFT) I could say alot more but I think everyone needs to do their own reasearch and bargain hunting to ensure you find the best unit/deal for your personal need(s). Happy Hunting! J. Bird, CEO, BIG Ideas

Mine shipped with a Red LED fan. They may have mixed the details with the non AMD edition which does have a blue fan.

I learned something recently. The color is brown, like the switches, not orange. I recently saw a blue version with blue switches. Palm meet face! Who knew?

I second the Microcenter recommendation. Mine shipped today, $419 after shipping...it's the blue XP, 120GB version.

There is red parts, but Id say it is more purple and blue on the keyboard. There is red in it, but the majority of the color is purple.

Thanks Superhero Jonathan! So helpful. I guess I am watching to see when UL80VT comes back into stock here in the next 24-48 hours if the Asus rep is right.

Thank you sir, that sounds very logical. I think I will go ahead and preorder here too, since I also have Prime, and return it if it turns out to be white and possibly just get it at a local BB. I checked out newegg and interestingly they only have the metallic gray, but I think Amazon will be faster with Prime since it's 2 day shipping and they tend to ship earlier for preorders so that you actually get it delivered on the day of release (6/17/11) -- which I'm hoping will be the case here.

The US and CA models of the 1005pe mu17 only come with the white asus that has the black lcd frame. The models you see on youtube were from countries other than the United States and Canada, and their model contains the white lcd screen. I bought the white asus 1005pe myself and I own the black lcd screen. To be honest, /i like this design. it's a great contrast to the glossy white and the outside is all white just like the models you saw in youtube.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.
