[Ubuntu-be] where to find this in Belgium ? Asus netbook (EEE 1225C) with Ubuntu 12.04

[Willem Hulscher]

Well, in France there was a lawsuit were somebody has won to get his money back from a windows computer. The case was that it is forbidden to do tying sales. He did not want to have windows, but there were not other computers (only Mac ofcourse, but he did not want that either). He bought the machine, with windows. He complaints with the company that he would not have the licence of windows. He made it a case. First they judge that you are not obliged to buy a computer with windows. But that in Cassation they give him right. It is tying. Than he could have 100 euro back for the windows. So I think that because of that jurisprudence they started to sale Linux on computers. Or maybe even with only open dos. In Germany they sell more and computers with open dos.

Hello Dear Ubunteros!

some friend of mine (maybe me too) is looking after the Asus EEE 1225C,
since that machine will come with Ubuntu 12.04 + for a nice price!

It seems to be available in France (Boulanger, Auchan, RueDuCommerce,
Izideal) but I'm not able to find it -until now- in Belgium:

maybe some of you does, and knows more about this ready-to-go
new/powerfull/quite cheap Ubuntu netbook ?

I first read some info at Forum.Ubuntu-NL.org:
http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/algemeen-42/asus-lanceert-nieuw-netbookje-met-ubuntu-12-04/25/

when found specifications here:
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1225C/

...but in some countries it seems to have already been released in July:
ASUS Quietly Launch New Ubuntu 12.04 Netbook | OMG! Ubuntu!
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/asus-quietly-launch-new-ubuntu-netbook

What about Belgium ?

Currently checked stores with no avail-info:
Media-markt, Carref0ur, Ph0t0hal, Pix-mania, Gobin-Electronix (@Ostend);
have also tried 333 x to call FNAC BE but their telnr. is fake and
definitely busy!!! 

Any useful tips welcomed! 
We're probably 2 persons interested in this EEE if available in Belgium.

Thanx !

GreetinX,

Y)ellow P)enguin
