ASUS supporting the NBCF - and more.
We've been kept pretty up to date with ASUS news from their PR team, but most of the news that comes through isn't really all that interesting for you guys to know - except for this one.
ASUS, being the prolific and absolutely mammoth tech manufacturer, have partnered up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to provide funding through the sales of some of their most popular tech.
The EEE lappies have been really popular for Atomicans running around with custom-compiled Linux distros on them, but the new Pink EEE S101H will have a portion of the money garnered from sales donated directly to the Aussie foundation.
Their Managing Director had this to say:
"ASUS is happy to be supporting the NBCF and its commitment to finding a cure for breast cancer. We are proud to partner with the NBCF once again and have the utmost respect for the organisation - ASUS will do what it can to assist this worthy cause."
The new lappy is selling for a rather large $1099, but it's still nice to see ASUS supporting Australia specifically.
We'll keep you abreast of any updates to the situation as they arise.
