Are prices as good or better in Singapore?
A trip in January may give me the opportunity to buy it there, but then it's a question of whether the warranty is international or only through the country of sale.
If Apple doesn't have a slim/flash MacBook coming out in January, I'll be interested to see if the EEE PC is cheaper in SIN than Oz!
(BTW have you read of anyone getting Tiger or another MacOS running fully and normally on the EEE PC?)
