Asustek’s $200 Eee PC X101 might not be enough to prevent MeeGo from withering on the vine, but it’s a lot better than nothing at all. If you are one of those few tech conservationists considering rescuing this endangered species of mobile OS, it’s time for some action. The 10-inch MeeGo netbook is now up for pre-order from a couple of e-tailers in the States, with a third online retailer even listing it as being in stock.
If you failed to lower your expectations while making the jump, please do so before proceeding to the specs:
- * Operating System: MeeGo
- * Display: 10.1-inch LED WXGA display (1024 x 600)
- * CPU: 1.33 GHz Intel Atom N435 single-core processor

- * Weight: 2.03 lbs (with 3 cell battery)
Available in black or white, the Eee PC X101 has a starting price of $200. However, it’s currently available for pre-order for slightly higher than that from the likes of Amazon ($226.99) and CDW ($209.99). Interestingly, the only e-tailer that has the X101 listed as available at the moment also appears to be the only one selling it for $199.
