Buy Asus 901 EEE PC in London?

July 7, 2008 11:46 PM

EEE PC Filter: Where can I buy one of the new Asus 901 EEE PCs, in London? Preferably today.

I can go to central London, near Tottenham Court Road maybe? But I live in North East London.

Any ideas? Cheers

I know Selfridges normally has a pile of EEEs at any point. Don't know if they have the model you are looking for, but maybe call them to find out?

The EEE 901 has been delayed to "late July". If you find anywhere in London selling them, do let us know.

If it's anywhere, it's on Tottenham Ct Road. I could swear I saw one on display there recently but (1) it may have been a display-only model and (2) it was a flying visit, so I may have been confused. Given that El Reg says the 901 is delayed and MicroAnvika aren't even listing pre-orders on their website, I'd say it was the second.

Response by poster: I have definitely seen the 900s (not the 901) there recently. If it is officially delayed then its delayed. Bummer

The 901 has been pushed back - none of my upstream retailers (i.e. those that supply normal customer facing retailers) have it yet, with no concrete news of UK supplies. The Aspire One
has also been pushed back to july 25.

However, the 1000H IS out, so if it's anywhere, it'll be on tottenham court road.
