Asus R2H UMPC available in Holland
Reader Henri van den Berg pointed me to Dutch online retailer MyCom where the Asus R2H is available. A newspaper ad drew Henri to the web site which is cool that Asus is advertising the new UMPC. There are no surprises as far as the specifications are concerned with the listed unit having a 900 MHz Celeron processor with 512 MB of RAM. My Dutch is a little rocky, OK it’s non-existent but from what I can tell there is no mention of a camera nor a GPS unit. This must be why the listed price is Euro 699 (US$ 896). That’s a pretty decent price.
Thanks Henri!
Hi James,
I can tell you that they not only sell the unit in their web-store, but olso in some of their real stores. There is such a store in my town, so maybe tomorrow i am going to take a look if they are actually selling them there.
Furthere i can tell you that a GPS unit, and Microsoft AutoRoute software are included.
The only thing wich is not mentionned is a camera.
When you order it in their web-shop, they expect to deliver it within a week.
Kind regrds,
Henri
Hi,
I just got a mail from Mycom that they’ve shipped my R2H. Expected delivery at my doorstep is today or tomorrow.
Cheers! Stefan.
I have had the ASUS R2H for a few hours now. It definitly has GPS integrated and it ships with MS Autoroute. It has no integrated Webcam. check the link for some more information.
Hello,
It also has no BT! End november an updated version will be available at 899.00 EUR including more RAM, 1.3 M pixel webcam and BT. Still this pricetag is one of the best in EU.
