*****************************************************************************
As of Sep 11 2008, this item is not available at Costco website anymore.
Sold out, probably.
*****************************************************************************

For those who wants bigger screen (10 inch), HD audio, longer battery life (6 cell battery), and much faster 802.11b/g/n support... It was $549.99 at Coscto, but is $449.99 from today on.

I personally like EEE pc, so I ordered this one. But if you are a big fan of Aspire One (6 cell + 160G HDD version), you can still order this one, use it and return it when Aspire one is available. As you guys know, Cosctco has crazy return policy. (Return within 3 months. No restocking fee.)

Is this available in the brick and motor store? I want to see the keyboard in person.
Cheers!

OK, but no tax at Costco either. (for some)

Even w/tax, it's a good deal 'cause Costco extends the MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY to two years from date of purchase.

Cheers!The keyboard is big enough, and I don't have a problem typing on it. I've got my 1000H on my desk right now at work. I'm listening to music on it with a set of bluetooth headphones. With the wireless N and bluetooth turned on and the cpu running stock 1.6Ghz speed, I get 4 hours of battery life. Much more comfortable sitting in the recliner with this when I'm surfing the net than with a full size laptop.

So will a lot of credit cards. No bonus there.

The bonus people are missing is the Costco free rental policy.

Can anyone provide info regarding the speed of this thing? I'm thinking of getting this for casual web surfing and maybe basic word processing. The most important factor for me is the quality of Divx/Xvid/RMVB playback on this mini laptop, how does it affect the battery life??

That certainly is so; however, I'm sure it's a lot easier to deal with Costco on a warranty issue than it is with a credit card company.

The bonus people are missing is the Costco free rental policy.It isn't a true rental policy, it is just the fact that Costco usually has a very generous return policy that makes it easy to return just about anything, and usually for a longer period of time than other merchants.

If you use the Costco AMEX card, will it add another year on top of the two years to the warranty?

449 for a pc with processor whose performance is as good as 600MHz celeron. I will add $50 more and get a way better machine.
