<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">the country this month for about 50,000

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The concept of the 'Eee PC' is to offer a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">mobile computer that caters to basic needs
such as browsing the </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">internet, checking email, or posting on
blogs. Asus translates </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">such needs into specifications that include
a 7-inch widescreen </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">LCD (800x480 dots), a Intel Celeron M 900
MHz processor, a </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The operating system is Windows XP Home

also features a </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Japanese-style keyboard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A quick glance at those specifications
probably doesn't </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">conjure up images of a great machine, but
the focus is on </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">value. While plenty of other manufacturers
offer extremely </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">portable notebook PCs, few offer the
combination we see here </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">of 'decent' equipment with an attractive
price tag. Especially </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">in Japan, there's plenty of competition in
this particular form </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">factor, but these competitors typically
require sacrificing yen </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">for horsepower.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In Japan the 'Eee PC' ships with three
'bonuses' for added </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">value. The first is the 'Zero Bright Dot'
service, where any </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">machine's screen found to have even a
single hot pixel (a pixel </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">that is constantly illuminated) qualifies
for free repair if </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">handled within 30 days after purchase. It's
not clear if this </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">service also applies to stuck pixels
(pixels stuck displaying </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">a color) or dead pixels (pixels that don't
display at all). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anyway, the second service is the inclusion
of a free 4GB SDHC </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">card. Since the machine features a SD card
slot, this basically </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">doubles its storage capacity for free. Also
included in the </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">package is a free optical mouse and
protective case. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The final bonus, a month of free 'Wi-Fine'
service, is offered </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">in conjunction with NTTBP. Wi-Fine
currently offers public WiFi</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">access at around 1600 locations throughout
the country, such as </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">train stations of the Tsukuba Express,
Yurikamome, and </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">restaurants like Lotteria and Kentucky
Fried Chicken. Too bad </span></p>
