ASUS Makes Memory Upgrading Eee-zy

The ASUS Eee has been selling incredibly well in the marketplace, and it’s not much of a surprise. The ultra-portable notebook weighs only 2lbs, has sufficient capabilities and costs only $400. What’s not to love? Well, the warranty was an issue… until now. Ambitious owners who wanted to upgrade their Eees memory were halted with a “warranty void if removed” sticker. This is rather silly, considering most consumer notebooks allow upgrades without much hassle.

Well, ASUS has gone and corrected this little “mistake”. In a press release, they’ve revealed that users will no longer void any warranty for removing that sticker or upgrading the RAM. See, the Eee can get more awesome. That said, I’m still going to wait for the purple and orange Pimp Edition to stroll along.

Sales of the Eee PC have been so strong that ASUS is projecting that it will sell 3.8 million units during fiscal 2008. The company will also provide versions of the Eee PC which feature a cost-reduced, feature-stripped version of Windows XP — current Eee PCs ship with Xandros Linux although a Windows XP driver CD is provided for do-it-yourselfers.
