Eee PC accessories get (over)priced

Posted by Brad Linder at Sunday, January 27, 2008

Some good news and bad news from the EeeUser forums. The good news is that Asus is set to launch the line of Eee accessories I told you about last month by the end of February. The bad news is they ain't going to be cheap.

If the information is correct, a 4 cell battery will set you back $99.99. No word on how much an extender 6-cell battery will cost, but I'm guessing it won't be cheaper than that.

A spare AC adapter ain't cheap either, at $39.99. The rest of the accessories don't look too bad:

  • $19.99 for a mouse
  • $19.99 for a headset/microphone
  • $19.99 for a spare sleeve/case
  • $89.99 for a one year warranty
As some folks have pointed out, you could pretty much get a Eee PC 2G Surf for the same price as each of the accessories plus a warranty. Then you'd have a spare battery, AC adapter, and an extra computer. But the 2G model comes with a less powerful battery and doesn't come with a sleeve so there is that to consider.
