Asus Eee Box EB202 with Linux selling for $190 at Newegg
,----[ Quote ]
| Asus has pretty much stopped offering its
| netbooks and nettops with Linux preloaded.
| Instead, most of the companyâs products come
| with Windows XP or Windows 7. But retailer
| Newegg is selling a first generation Asus Eee
| Box EB2020 nettop with Red Flag Linux, a
| Chinese Linux distribution thatâs designed to
| look an awful lot like Windows XP.

NewEgg Confirms Fake Core i7s, Apologizes
,----[ Quote ]
| Online retailer NewEgg said late Monday that
| it has confirmed that a shipment of Core i7s
| were indeed fake, and that it had broken off
| its supply relationship with IPEX, the
| supplier. NewEgg also apologized.
|
| The fake Core i7s surfaced this weekend, and
| Intel confirmed them on Monday morning. At the
| time, reports had indicated that the fake
| processors were in fact so-called "demo
| units".

When Vendors Go Bad
,----[ Quote ]
| That's right: I installed Linux on the laptop,
| and therefore Newegg is not going to honor my
| refund.
|
| Need I say more? Newegg is now on record as a
| vendor from whom you purchase at your own
| risk. They have demonstrated that they will
| knowingly sell defective hardware, and not
| honor refund requests on same.
