Video cards with multiple GPUs used to be common from NVIDIA. The company has got away from cramming more than one GPU onto a single video card with its latest products and the ones it did make had a reputation for driver issues when users tried to run more than one of the cards.
If you need to share storage, scanners, or printers across your wireless network at home or in the office, you have a few options for doing so. You can use a plain router along with a wireless print server, but that makes for extra clutter.
The plans of many official Android-based netbooks and Smartbooks may be on hold as companies tentatively measure the market, but if you’re desperate for a blast of Google’s open-source OS on your budget ultraportable then there are certainly ways to do it yourself. The latest tutorial we’ve spotted comes courtesy of UMPC Fever, who have put the latest build of Android OS 2.0 Donut onto their Eee PC.
Video demos after the cut
ASUS may have leant their weight to the Smartbook movement back at Computex, bringing along a couple of slender Eee PCs based on the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, but that doesn’t mean they’ve current plans to bring them to market. Indeed, according to ASUS CEO Jerry Shen this week, the lack of a “clear market” for Smartbooks has seen the project put on ice.
The ASUS Eee Top ET2002T all-in-one – which slots NVIDIA’s Ion GPU into the nettop – has made its official appearance on the company’s US site, together with getting an official announcement along with its 22-inch ET2203T sibling.. First spotted on a French retailer’s site last week, the ET2002T packs Intel’s dual-core Atom 330 processor together with a 20-inch 16:9 aspect touchscreen display and DVD burner.
It was only a couple days ago that we outed the upcoming releases from ASUS, which included the Eee Box, where we informed you that the upcoming tech would come stock with a NVIDIA ION GPU. And now, according to an official Eee PC website, that seems to be the exact case. There are some other things that match up really well with that original post, so keep reading to see what this little box has in store for you.
We’ve a soft-spot for DIY netbook tablet PC conversions here at SlashGear, so it’s always nice to see a user turn their budget notebook into something a whole lot more interesting. EeeUser forum member Maine_Coon turned his ASUS Eee PC 900HA into a finger-friendly 8.9-inch slate, flipping the display around and adding a touchscreen layer on top.
ASUS’ long-awaited Eee Keyboard could land as early as October, according to DigiTimes’ “industry sources”, with pricing set to hover in the $400-500 category. It will follow on from a refresh of several of ASUS’ Eee-breakaway lines, including a new Eee Top all-in-one and an Eee Box nettop, both of which will use NVIDIA’s Ion GeForce 9300M GPU.
Pegatron’s Smartbook prototype has made another appearance, this time squaring up to one of ASUS’ Eee PC models in order to flaunt its slender chassis. The Smartbook – here in touching, emotionally-available, secure-in-its-own-masculinity pink – is considerably thinner than a netbook (the 1005HA) that until now has helped lead the pack in terms of slimline scale, and it’s not an unfair battery comparison either. The Pegatron may only have a 2-cell, 4,400mAh battery, but thanks to the low-voltage components inside it’s rated for around eight hours runtime.
The ASUS EeeTop ET2002T first shown back in June at Computex has apparently made its official debut in France, with Blogeee spotting the full spec-list and some press shots. As expected, the ET2002T brings with it a 20-inch 1,600 x 900 touchscreen display along with a DVD burner and – most interestingly – NVIDIA’s Ion GPU.
