There’s still no official announcement, but an ASUS PR rep has revealed pricing for the Eee PC 901, 1000 and 1000H in the US. We now know that the 901 will come in at $599, the 1000 at $699, and the 1000H at $649. Aside from the 1000H, they’ll be available with Linux or Windows [...]
A Taiwanese shopping portal, PCHome, has begun selling ASUS’ largest Eee PC, the 1000H, in advance of its expected release date. Priced at NT$18,988 (approximately $625), the notebook is the only Eee to feature a traditional hard-drive as opposed to a form of flash or SSD based storage. The 80GB drive contains Windows XP as [...]
ASUS have previously said that, until the supply chain problems plaguing Intel’s Atom processor are fixed, their Celeron-based Eee PC 900 will continue to be sold alongside the new, Atom-based Eee PC 901. Although the 900 is cheaper than its eventual-replacement, you could be forgiven for wondering exactly how much more performance you get for [...]
Not much information on this, yet, but according to early reports this is a dual-touchscreen notebook prototype from ASUS. Buried in among the Eees and projector-sporting laptops at Computex 2008, the device uses two MultiTouch-capable LCD panels, with the lower display used for a QWERTY keyboard and touchpad. The concept is similar, in fact, to OLPC’s XO-2.
Rather unsurprisingly - since I think even ASUS would admit where their “inspiration” came from - the Eee Stick controller has been likened to Nintendo’s Wiimote. Jake Ludington got a chance to test out the motion-sensitive interface while at Computex, which ASUS are positioning not so much as a gaming peripheral but as a generally fresh [...]
ASUS have dropped a few more details - and a couple of images - of the all-in-one Eee Monitor PC that was first rumored back in January. The computer, which is built into an LCD screen a la the iMac, was predicted to come in at $499; ASUS are now saying to expect it in [...]
With all the Atom-powered notebooks on show at Computex, you’d be excused for thinking that Intel’s manufacturing shortfall was long past. Not true, worried out loud Asustek’s Jerry Shen; both the new Eee PC 901 and 1000, together with the Eee Box B202, are powered by the 1.6GHz processor. While denying that Atom availability would seriously impact [...]
Acer’s entrant to the budget ultraportable fray, the Aspire One which we first saw last week, has been made official. As expected, the notebook is based on Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom processor, has an 8.9-inch display (though 1024 x 600 rather than 1024 x 768 as was predicted) and comes as standard with a Linux OS [...]
Although most of the specs and other details have already leaked, ASUS has finally pushed out the official press release for the new Eee PC 901, 1000 and 1000H. The three machines will all be offered in Windows XP and Linux variants, with a choice of black or white casings. While the Eee PC 901 [...]
ASUS have been flaunting their now-official Eee Box B202 around Computex 2008 in Taipei, with spaces on the débutante’s dance-card filling up fast. As with the Eee notebooks, both Windows XP and Linux versions of the desktop will be available, each packing a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 802.11n and DVI output. Best of all are the [...]
