In the country I only found a few outlets. Penta and YouPrice are selling the 901 model with 20GB SSD for I think one or two hundred dollars more than what they are worth these days. I seen some people selling the Acer Aspire One with Linux. No one is selling the top end Netbooks with Linux here.

I remember seeing the prototype for the Touch Book a while back. Looks like they are just about ready for the market. I think I’ll hold out for these to hit the shores. Fingers crossed they don’t have Windows support by the time they reach Australia, the distributors wont order the Linux model if the current state of the market is anything to go by. More than likely we wont even see these before someone else releases a knockoff with Windows on it. Then I’ll be out of luck for sure.

Update: Actually it wasn’t the Touch Book prototype I’d seen, it was the Crunch Pad. However, I think the Touch Book looks a little superior with it’s detachable keyboard. Both are rather sexy!
