Asus launched its Eee PC range in Taiwan just two days ago and already we have a video of an unboxing and official U.S. pricing.

The pricing on all models is higher than predicted. The Eee PC 901 is fixed at $599 MSRP for both the Linux and Windows XP versions.

The 1000 and 1000H models could change in price but is currently set at $699 for the Eee PC 1000 with either Windows XP or Linux. The Eee PC 1000H (H, meaning hard disk drive) is set at $649.

The pricing may drop in the near future as the Eee PC will face some stiff competition from the likes of MSI’s Wind, due out later this summer at $399. There is also Acer’s Aspire One at $400 and Dell’s E-series due September or earlier at $299.

TweakTown managed to get their hands on a 1000H model and filmed the unboxing. See video below.
