Many of you would be waiting anxiously for the launch of ASUS Eee PC in India. For the uninformed, Eee PC is a low-cost 7″ notebook PC running customized Linux OS and has been highly successful in almost all parts across the globe. We now have a tentative launch date on the same and approx. pricing. If you care, dig right in.

Word is that Eee PC would be available in two models in India (at launch) - galaxy black and pearl white. The colored models would be available a few months down the line. It’s likely that only the Eee PC 4G model would be available first. The higher end 8G and the value-conscious 2G variants are doubtful to be available from the very beginning.

Coming to the important part: The tentative launch date for the Eee PC is January 29, 2008 for Rs. 18,000/- price.

Expect the Eee PC to hit mega-retail outlets like Vijay Sales, Croma and others early February. The ASUS channel distributor would get it around the same time. If you decide to wait before you purhcase the Eee PC, there may be ’some’ price cuts later on.

So, there you have it. We’ll continue to update with the latest scoop on the Eee PC. Out of nowhere, the affordable sub-notebook/UMPC market has come alive with HCL, ACi and ASUS coming out with their products to attract cost sensitive buyers.
