Granted, there will always be limitations on budget concious devices, but keep in mind that the EEE pc is roughly 1/4 of the price of a regular laptop. I can put up for compromises under those circumstances.

I don't think anyone does yet... But they'll come soon.

Medison's CEO, Valdi Ivancic has provided a delivery guarantee on their website:

"There is no need for people to worry about not getting the laptop delivered. If we don’t deliver the laptop within 3 months after placing the purchase order, we will give you your money back. This way we want to make clear that Medison is not a scam company as some individuals have been spreading around the word on the communities. We are a serious company and we are here to stay!”

This, and other information I have read from Medison leads me to the conclusion that they don't have vast amount of units available for immediate delivery. They will probably be built as the orders come in (a-la-Dell style), which makes perfect sense since the company should be on a budget if they want to co-exist for the long term.

There's a website set up by the ceo claiming if you don't receive your laptop your money will be returned. In 3 months your money will possibly be gone since no one seems to have even seen this 150 dollar laptop. Just because there is a website claiming to return your money doesn't mean it'll happen. I'll wait till others get their laptops to make sure its not another nigerian scam.

Don't shoot the messenger

Your apprehension is shared by a lot of people including me. I'm eyeing this computer for my son who is in elementary school and doesn't need anything fancy. However, I will not purchase an unit until I hear back from others who have already purchased it. However, if this was really a scam, you would figure that the alleged criminals would be interested in getting more than $150 a pop, and second, very rarely would an alleged criminal be as readily available to the general public by making their e-mail and phone numbers known.

Did you see Tommy Boy the movie.

The only REAL gaurantee is to actaully see the product out there. What someone says on a website doesn't mean much until somebody actually get the pc.

according to that very small website there is no phone service they claim cause of high volume calls. makes you wonder if its not from all the people wondering where their laptops are or their money is.
