Of all the odd photoshoots with a new gadget, this is probably the first I’ve seen where a dismembered fish shares frame-time. Still, the owner of this black ASUS Eee PC 900 has done us a favor in confirming that Asustek will be making their 8.9-inch budget ultraportable with at least two of the [...]
After Asustek CEO Jerry Shen revealed the company planned a 10-inch version of their runaway-success ultraportable, it looked as though the Eee roadmap was complete. Now, a DigiTimes report suggests that, in an attempt to capitalise on the success of the range, they’re considering splitting off the Eee as a separate brand. In doing so, [...]
Could you ever bring yourself to spend more on a ASUS Eee than the price of a new MacBook Air, Lenovo X300 or Sony VAIO TZ? Currently up on eBay for a whopping $3,200 (or open to bids from $2,800), this uber-Eee takes an innocent new 8GB model and adds a built-in 32GB Patriot XT drive, a [...]
Asustek has announced that its battery shortage - which it was feared would significantly affect shipments of notebooks, particularly the popular Eee model - should be resolved by the end of Q2 this year. In March, the company warned that the shortage, which was affecting all manufacturers and not just Asustek’s range, could lead [...]
According to CEO Jerry Shen, Asustek is planning another version of the low-cost ultraportable Eee series featuring the notebook’s largest screen yet. Having recently released the Eee PC 900, with its 8.9-inch display, ASUS is working on a 10-inch version that could be ready for release later on in 2008. Shen cites customer demand for [...]
MSI has dropped a few more details regarding its Wind ultraportable, and in the process criticised rivals such as ASUS’ Eee. We now know the Wind will be available with 8.9 or 10-inch LCD screens with LED backlight, running at 1,024 x 600, feature an 80GB standard 2.5-inch (e.g. not SSD) hard-drive and weigh [...]
Any still on the fence about purchasing a low cost ultra mobile pc should highly consider the Eee PC 900. Priced at just $549, it is impressively packed with an 8.9-inch LCD display with 1,024 x 600 resolution, an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, 12 or 20 gigabyte of Solid State Disk (SSD) for Windows [...]
ASUS’ original Eee might have impressed many with its super-budget price tag, but the relatively small 7-inch screen dissuaded others from considering it as a “proper” laptop. While the new Eee PC 900 might only have 1.9-inches more, it means the ultraportable now musters 1,024 x 600 resolution; UK site Trusted Reviews took a first-look [...]
This is quite possibly the dumbest idea I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Essentially what this product suggests is that you lay part of this long ass adjustable strap across your laptop’s keyboard, then close it, and sling it over your shoulder leaving it open to the environment, being banged around, or worse, [...]
So Asus has apparently sold over a million Eee’s sold in 5 months, since its launch date, and in celebration Asus decided to let us all in on the details of its next concoction. Obviously it will have an 8.9-inch LCD screen, a 1.3MP camera, 12 or 20GB of flash storage depending on OS, and [...]
