From my previous post , I told you that the Eee 900 is available for order on Amazon.com but you need to wait 1 - 2 months for delivery. But my friend ordered Asus Eee PC 12G Linux Version yesterday and its out for delivery right now! I checked the amazon.com site today and its was "In Stock" at $549.99, sold by Amazon and eligible for free super saver shipping. You can take the option of $13.65 for two day shipping.
Today, I found a great resource with information on How to run Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on the Asus EeePC. You can see it at http://tigeroneeepc.wikispaces.com/ . It needs an external USB DVD drive and install disc. Once you have them , you can probably figure out the rest yourself. But I'd recommend following the instructions on TigerOnEeePC site to make sure you minimize the read/write cycles on the solid state disk and avoid some possible problems.
You can see the video below showing the Mac OS X runs very on the Eee PC
Also for those worried that they will destroy their Eee - You shouldn’t. ASUS encourages you to install Windows, which requires you to destroy the default Linux setup. They created an awesome bootable restore DVD which you can use restore the machine to factory settings at anytime. Just like brand new.
For everyone who waiting for Amazon to sell the new Asus EEE 900 , It’s now available for order at Amazon.com for both the EEE 900 - Linux'>20GB Linux version and 12GB Windows XP version.
Both sell for $549. Only the pearl/white units are available right now, hope to see black and other trendy color options soon.
I found that the Eee 900 is sold directly by Amazon rather than through their affiliate. Anyway, Amazon now shows "1-2 months" for delivery. I will keep you post if the delivery time is changed.
If you don’t want to wait for 1-2 months or that's too expensive than you're willing to spend, the Eee PC 701 for less than half the price or a CTL 2Go PC may be a good choice.
UPDATE: As of May 14 , the Eee 900 Linux version are now available in stock on amazon.com right now.
