(view large image)
The Asus Eee PC has finally been released in Japan, but the models released there are not quite the same as in the US. The Eee PC 4G-X as it is called is the same as the standard 4G model, except that it comes with Windows XP Home edition as standard equipment instead of Linux. A 4GB SDHC card is included with the machine since XP takes up most of the Eee PC's internal 4GB flash memory. The Eee PC 4G-X is available in Japan for about $468 in white or black.
