The original renders of ASUS’ Eee PC desktop version may have looked like a Wii knockoff, but at least it was a slick knockoff; this new picture, purported to be the real thing, shows a far dumpier and more humdrum system. The Eee Box B202, as it’s apparently called, will feature Intel’s Atom processor [...]
As confirmed a week ago, ASUS’ Eee PC 900 has gone on sale in the US giving buyers a choice between the original, smaller-screened Eee and this new 8.9-inch version. However stock seems to be in relatively short supply; Amazon have it listed for $549.99 but “out of stock”. That’s allowing those with the 900 [...]
This week’s highlight has been the SlashGear team knuckling down to cover HTC’s London launch of the Touch Diamond smartphone. Our hands-on video of the Windows Mobile 6.1 device is pulling in some serious views, so if the thought of a 3G iPhone is leaving you cold then you need to be checking out the [...]
Proporta have developed one of their Crystal Cases especially for the ASUS Eee PC. Recognising that users will be looking to throw their ultraportables into rucksacks and bags, the shatterproof and shock-absorbent shell has cut-outs for all ports and fan vents. In fact it’s made from the same type of polycarbonate plastic they use for [...]
Research firm IDC have spotted the current trend for budget ultraportable notebooks, but unlike the rest of us aren’t entirely convinced.

The first, running Windows XP, will have 12GB of storage, made up of 4GB of Flash memory [...]
More speed, more gameplay and more pixels has been the theme of the week, with a variety of new hardware launches and upgrades together with some long awaited titles getting released. Apple lived up to the rumors and introduced new processors and faster FSB for their iMac range, together with stirring up a little controversy [...]
Although Intel confessed to having trouble meeting demand for their Atom processor earlier this week, the chip company declined to specify when it thought supplies would stabilize. The sudden flourish in the budget ultraportable laptop market has certainly exacerbated the problem, and now Asustek Computer president Jerry Shen has confirmed that his company believes the shortfall will continue [...]
Intel are having trouble meeting demand for their ultra-efficient Atom mobile processor, according to a report in the WSJ. While the company claims to be on-track to produce millions of the chips before the end of the year, demand has exceeded expectations. The Atom is currently being used in the ASUS Eee ultraportable, among others.
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 [...]
