The EeePC 900 is Available! But…

On one of my previous posts, I have been raving about the ASUS EeePC 900, the next model (or “generation”, as ASUS’ advertising says) of ASUS’ EeePC line, complete with 8.9″ screen with a 1024×600 resolution, 12Gb storage memory, a larger trackpad, and 1Gb RAM. It was supposed to go for $600, or in […]

Northec Gecko Mini Laptop Planned at Sub-$300 Price

Competition is getting intense. Looks like the subnotebook market is the next big thing for gadget makers. Computerworld is quoted as saying there is yet another company that plans to venture into the cheap (meaning inexpensive) compact notebook market (currently dominated by the Asus Eee).
The company is Norhtec, a systems integrator based in Thailand, of […]

ASUS Eee 900

Daily Tech has reported that ASUS is hard at work to release the next generation Eee, named Eee PC 900. It is reported to have a 8.9″ screen with a 1024×600 resolution, 12Gb storage memory, a larger trackpad, and possibly a different processor. I’m hoping they use the new Intel Atom processors on these babies.

Asus Philippines to Launch “Dress mEee Up” Design Contest

The other day I met with the public-relations representative of Asus here in the Philippines to discuss their upcoming design contest. And it’s really interesting. Designers (anyone is welcome, actually) are invited to submit their own skin designs for special edition Asus Eee computers. The theme will be something in the lines of being Proud […]

Acer Plans to Launch an Eee Competitor

I haven’t been much of a fan of Acer laptops until recently, when they launched their Gemstone-line of notebooks. I always went for IBM Thinkpads, HP/Compaq Presarios, and now the Asus Eee.

However, Acer seems to be getting in the game of ultraportable notebook computers, with their rumored release of a 8 inch and 9 inch […]

Asus Eee: Still King of the Hill?

There you have it, folks. The Asus Eee PC is still king of the hill for affordable ultraportables. There were rumors just recently that Apple was to release an ultra mobile computer with dual touch-screens (and not to mention the cool factor). But apparently that’s not their focus.
At the recently-concluded MacWorld Expo, the highlight of […]

9 Inch Screen Asus Eee in 2008

Over at CES 2008, there are rumors (likely to be true) that Asus will be releasing an Eee model with 8.9 screens this 2008. Sure, they’re also including WiMax in the possible specs, but it’s the screen size and real estate that most Asus Eee users are interested in.
From CNet,
This year at CES (the big […]

Official Asus Eee PC Accessories Announced

Over at the official Asus Eee site, OEM accessories have been added, including mice, headphones, power adaptors and extra batteries for the Asus Eee PC.

I would agree with EeeUser that the six-cell 7800 mAh battery sounds particularly interesting, especially for those of us who want to get longer battery uptime from our Asus Eee computers.
I […]
