Okay, not on our favorite store’s shelves. But Intel is expected to showcase a number of new products at the Intel Developer Forum or IDF in September.
That means we can see netbooks running the new platform being demoed by Intel by September. We’ll be able to see if all the hype will be worth it.
The title of this post says it all, really. If you upgrade your 1101HA’s RAM to 2gb, you will lose the ability to overclock your CPU via the BIOS.
WTF Asus? I hope this is just a glitch, because this is a major turnoff.
Brad of Liliputing has posted pictures and a review of the Asus Eee PC T91.
The netbook’s sluggish processor makes the Eee PC T91 too slow to perform some tasks like playing HD video or even viewing some web pages in Internet Explorer, which Asus has optimized for touchscreen navigation. Still, this netbook is one of the only tablet PCs you’re likely to find for under $499, so if you’re looking for a touchscreen on a budget, it might be worth checking out.

Okay, so I’ll just be quoting from Top Cultured’s review of the Eee Keyboard, and you can see that the writer’s really excited.
It comes with an embedded radio chip and a receiver that allows you to turn any TV in your house into its monitor. And when combined with its built in wireless connection, you’ll be able to stream high definition shows from iTunes.com or Hulu.com. (Are you cable companies scared yet?)
Seriously, what could be better than that?
Do you know Denmark? Then this contest is for you.
Name three places in the video ”Wonderful Denmark” and have a chance to win an Asus eeePC.
So Eeeuser has a review of the Eee Keyboard (one of the new Eee products I’m really excited for) and has compared it to the old-school keyboard computers, like the Amiga 64.
The Eee PC Keyboard is essentially an Asus Eee PC netbook computer placed inside a slightly larger keyboard case and instead of it being a complete headless laptop, there is a touch screen on the right hand side rather than a screen at the top.

So we now know that the Eee PC T91 is going out on the 15th. What about it’s bigger sister, the T101H?
I prefer the T101H over the T91 because of the bigger touch screen. Asus says it’ll come out by the end of the year.
The T101H’s specs would include: a 10.1 inch 1024 x 600 pixel multi-touch display, the 1.33Ghz Intel Atom Z520 boasting the GMA 500 graphics adapter, Windows 7, 1GB of memory,16GB SSD + 16GB SD card, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G module and TV tuner.
Now for those excited with owning a touch screen Eee (without the obligatory hacking), this is a really agonizing choice: get the T91 now, or wait for the better Eee later this year?
Can’t wait for the Eee PC T91 to come out? Well, wait no further, the highly-anticipated touch screen netbook will be getting a July 15th release date, according to Asus.
I’m really excited about Intel’s newest iteration of the Atom, called Pineview. News is, it’ll come out 4th quarter of 2009. The lineup will include a dual core desktop chip as well as a line of mobile chips aimed at netbooks which will use less power while providing slightly better performance than today’s Atom N270/N280 chips.
And now, we find out that the line will last for a one year or so, as Fudzilla says:
The new dual-core desktop Atom launches in Q4 2009, while the single-core for both desktop and netbooks should launch in Q1 2009.
Manufacturing starts in Q3 2009 for dual-core and in Q4 for single-core Atom and this all integrated platform should sell through the whole 2010. Judging from current plans the new dual and single-core should be coming in late 2010.
So, Google is finally taking on Microsoft. After months of speculation, the big G announced on their blog that they are going to release a Linux-favored operating system of their own, targeted at netbooks, called Google Chrome OS.
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.
Frankly, I’m excited. Are you?
