ASUS: 10-inch Eee Personal computer coming this year, Atom in June
Posted by: admin in LaptopsFiled under: Laptops
Jerry Shen, ASUS CEO, is casually twisting Eee Personal computer fans into a tizzy this morning. At the launch of the 8.9-inch Eee Computer 900 in Taiwan, he uttered the magical phrase “10-inch Eee PC” for the first time. Expected sometime later this year, Shen stated that the 10-inch screen will be the biggest granted on the Eee Personal computer. Good for you Jerry, but we’ve got the feeling that you’ve completely forgotten about the original promise of a $200, 7-inch laptop. Surely we’re due for a price drop now that the 900 is out, right?
Update: Asus also confirmed that an Atom-based Eee Computer will launch at the Computex show just like we heard. No details about the screen size or any other specs were provided.
