Eee PC officially goes mainstream, now available at Target

Asus brings the Eee PC to the mainstream market now available at Target

Asus and Target have just announced that the Eee PC will now be available both online and also at 150 of their retail locations. I suppose this news should come as little surprise, because Asus seems to be spreading the Eee brand so thin with new models, that it now being available at Target almost seems normal.

I think what will end up being more surprising is just how many customers will see this as a good idea. As a geek, I love my Eee PC, and I have shown it to many non-geeks who loved it, but majority of them also stated that without having used mine, they would never have purchased one.

Anyway, hopefully Target and Asus will have better luck, they currently have a pretty full range of products available including the 2G Surf in a variety of colors, the 4G Surf in black or white, and accessories to include extra batteries, headphones, power adapters and mice. The 2G Surf is retailing for $299.99 and the 4G Surf is retailing for $349.99.

    Robert, I get asked all the time if something like the 2G is good for noobies.  Any input?

    Most of these folks are just checking email and using the net.

    thanks.

    The 2G is really fine for just a basic internet device, the only issue that I have is the 4G is only $50 more, which seems like a better deal.

    However either way, the 2G and 4G will surf the web fine.
