Well I still have five boxes here. And the boxes are exactly the same no 
matter which model was in there. And the ones that came with XP have the 
Windows logo. The only other difference is a label on the side that 
tells you what is in the box.

1) Model: 701 (this one is a Surf)
   AU EEEPC4G_Surf/701/1BLK/US

2) Model: EeePC 4G
   AU EEEPC4G/701/1BLK/US

3) Model: 701 (this one is from the UK)
   AU 701 4GA/512M/UK/1BLACK

4) Model: EeePC 8G
   AU EEEPC8G/702/WHI/US

5) Model: EeePC 8G
   AU EEEPC8G/702/WHI/US

Fascinating. My manuals states:

E3509 (Xandros)

Eee PC 4G (701)
Eee PC 4G Surf
Eee PC 8G

October 2007

And the manuals between all of them are the same, except for the ones 
that came with Windows XP. They are totally different.

E3683 (Windows XP)

Eee PC 8G
Eee PC 4G
Eee PC 4G Surf
