Limited Edition Asus Eee to be Released

Two special edition Eee PCs are being released in Korea.

Asus is preparing to launch a special edition of the Eee 901 and the 1000H.

The special edition, at least for now, will be confined to Korea. There are a few different, unnamed versions.

The first has a blood-red lid, and is covered in small flower designs (or maybe snowflakes), which likely reduces the number of male customers who will purchase it.

The next sports a bright green lid, and has a small leaf pattern covering the lower half of the lid and the keyboard.

The pre-release mentions a pink version, but it seems that pink actually means "red".

The special editions are available for pre-order through August 22nd. These will probably start hitting eBay around the end of the month.

MSI Introduces Ultra-Portable Wind 'Love Edition'

MSI has started a global charity program to help poor children learn essential computing skills.

MSI has introduced a special edition line of their ultra-portable notebook, the Wind, that will be used to help poor children in several different countries.

The special edition Wind is dubbed the 'Love' edition, and comes in white only, and features a series of gray and tan/yellow hearts.

The donations from this charity drive will go to help poverty-stricken children in China, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Korea, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

Unfortunately, it is not clear if individuals purchase a laptop that will get sent overseas, or if the consumer gets the laptop and the proceeds go to the charity.

Judging by the wording of the press release - that these notebooks will be used to teach children essential computer skills - it seems the purchased laptop will be sent to one of the countries listed above.
