The 2G Surf was always supposed to be in colors. If you look at the box your 4G 701 came in, you'll note there are pictures of the same colored Eee's on it.

haha, I haven't gotten mine yet, actually.  It's sitting out in front of my door, waiting for me to get home from work x_x

I guess this should be moved to the purchase forum then, since they just became available on Newegg.

Happy shopping!

I ordered a black one, it said silver on the box and it was actually white.

Yeeeeeh :p

The thing that I notice is that the whole lap top should be the same color NOT just some of the pieces. I think it looks weird and unpolished. If the whole lap top including the bat pack were the same color I might entertain choosing another color, but not they way they appear now!

don't mean to be sexist but the colours are so baby shaded and ... girly.

I would rather have an eee than no eee at all, but baby blue or baby pink/green are not the colours Many would buy.

I really hope that they didn't make too many of the pink ones, they won't sell well. laptops are like bathrooms, look good in shades, not baby shades or colours.

I think they did a good job of appealing to the female audience, though, since the smaller size and cute colors are likely to attract that type of consumer.

...and I think that's proven by how "adorable" my girlfriend thinks the new colors are are, and how much she wants one >_>

Please click the link in my post, looks pretty silver to me. As far as I am aware, there is only 1 shade of white, can you prove otherwise?

Thanks Jimbo. It seems that the first white on the box (looks like silver) is the pearl white one.
In this thread http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=4897 they discuss this.
There is also a picture of the white surf. Notice the white matt finish?

one guy compared the peral white shade to somthing that was white sitting in a smoker's house for awhile.

I though that was a fair comparision

btw no black 2 gig surf???

You can already have the colours you want using this site
http://www.schtickers.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=32
using the measurement 5.5 X 8.4

only for lid, and would look bad covering up a colour. only on black, would one of those work for me. white too...

well if you get the other colours of the eeepc they are only the lid anyway these are custom any pic you have or design your self

yes but unless the sticker coveres every square millimeter of colour on the lid it would look odd.
