The Asus Eee PC 2G Surf launched on Friday alongside its bigger bro, the 8G, and today it's shipping from Newegg. It only has half of the good stuff like storage and RAM, but it's available in a handful of pastel Skittles colors with not-so-masculine names like sky blue, lush green and blush pink. We're also not so sure the $100 price chop on the standard model is worth the spec slash and soldered-on RAM, but let your conscience be your guide. [Newegg]
