Asus allows Eee memory upgrade (picture)

A number of Asus Eee ultra-portable computers have shipped with a devil “Warranty Void If Removed” on the memory access door. This label might have rebuked users who otherwise wanted to upgrade their Eee with more memory (normally 512MB or 1GB for the 4G models ~ $349.99. Up to 2GB with hack).

It says: “Asus wishes to assure its customers that merely breaking or removing this kind of seal will not void the Asus Limited Warranty” (full press release, Asus Eee page).

With Asus announced 3.8 million Eee PCs next year, I think many of us would want to buy one next year because it’s cheaper than some PDAs / iPod Touch.
