Asus has announced, after the launch of Intel Atom mobile platform at Computex on 3 June, a very long list of new models of Eee PC netbooks. Between configurations, diagonal, colors and denominations, the landscape became increasingly confused, so it is appropriate to make a small summary for clarification. The first netbook in Taiwan was in the house 's Asus Eee PC 701, Celeron M ULV 353 processor and a 7-inch WVGA display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels, presented with different configurations. Then he made his entrance to the new version called 8.9-inch Asus Eee PC 900, with display from WSVGA 1024x600 pixels and the same processor of the EEA PC 701.

After the launch of the Intel Atom platform, the new processor has been adopted by Asus for its new netbook: Eee PC 901 and 8.9-inch Eee PC 1000 and 1000H, with display from 10/10.2 inches, differentiated by the presence of an SSD drive or a hard disk for storage. For the past few days have also heard of some 8.9-inch models, the Asus Eee PC 904 and 905, adopting a chassis identical to Version 10.2-inch display but a 8.9-inches.

Asustek has confirmed through an article in PC Retail Megazine, the existence and the anticipated marketing of a new laptop computer belonging to the family at low cost Eee PC, which will take the name of Eee PC 904 HD. The netbook will be arriving, as we have already anticipated, the same chassis used in the Eee PC 1000 and 1000H models, 10.2 inches, with a full-size keyboard and a 9-inch LCD screen.

According to reports, the Eee PC 904 HD model will feature an SSD drive, but it combines a conventional hard disk platters with magnetic. This feature, no doubt, contributes to the choice of the name of the Netbook, Eee PC 904 HD, where HD stands for Hard Disk. Ensure that new Asus Eee PC models will soon be used for the English market, especially in a few weeks British users can purchase a last mininotebook Asus at a price of about $ 500, equivalent to £ 250.

Yesterday we were surprised by the 'unexpected announcement, although not yet officially confirmed, new models of Eee PC that will be added to the already large family of low-cost Asus signed. From the initial information available, it seems that the Taiwanese company is ready to attack the netbook market with a range of proposals to meet the tastes and needs of all categories of customers. The latest laptops at low cost, added to the dense array Eee PC, are the model 904 and Eee PC Eee PC 905.

The new netbooks seem to use the same chassis as the Eee PC model 1000, 10.2 inches, offering more space to accommodate a full-size keyboard, but on an LCD panel which is installed by 9 inches. Are not known to the technical characteristics of new versions, but for the Web already run new images of new models. A look at the pictures, the focus falls on the frame of the screen, in which speakers find space, like in the Eee PC 701.

Immediately after the official launch at Computex 2008, the netbook ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9-inch Eee PC 1000 and 1000H to 10/10.2 inches have made their entry into Taiwan. These are the first models based on Intel Atom platform, which will benefit from the new Diamondville Atom processor for low power consumption. For marketing in Europe must wait, as expected, the first day of July, a date which will sanction the introduction of models on the UK market.

Until today it had not been revealed by Asus plans concerning the market of the United States by surprise, despite the Taiwanese company is usually reluctant to provide this kind of information, an employee of the department of pre-sale has communicated to a client that the date scheduled for marketing in the U.S. will be on July 8. The speed with which Asus to launch their products in markets around the world, does suggest a willingness to anticipate the competition.

One of the major limitations of Netbook, and in particular of low-cost laptop targati Asus, Eee PC 701 and Eee PC 900 is certainly represented by the size of the keyboard and the keys that compose it. As we reported in our review, in fact, the size of input devices, keyboard and touchpad, may make it difficult to use the little notebook, with typos especially for the user forced to long sessions of writing and for those hands large.

From some rumors, but ', it seems that Asus is about to launch new models of its popular netbook, Eee PC 904 and Eee PC 905, with an LCD screen 8.9-inch chassis, but one of the largest typical 10.2-inch models, which So keyboard makes room for more generous. The new units will adopt the Intel Atom and differ from the parent Eee PC 901 only for the size of the keyboard and its keys. We do not know if they even touched up the size of the touchpad.

Asus Eee PC 900 was introduced in Italy May 15, 2008, exactly one month after its debut at international level. This time, Asus has shortened the time to launch Italian, under the pressure of an imminent official launch of the EEA PC 901, featuring the latest Intel Centrino Atom platform.

The wait had been far greater than the first Eee PC model, with display from 7 inches: Over 3 months had separated the landing in Italy 's Asus Eee PC 701 4G since its availability in Asia and America, and in many had resisted the temptation to buy one abroad.

As expected, Asus Eee PC 900 8.9 inch Intel Celeron M 353 was a model of transition between the version Asus Eee PC 701 7 inch and the new Asus Eee PC 901 with Intel Atom platform. Pending a full availability of the Centrino Atom fact, Asus has had to deal with the Mini-Note PC 2133 Hewlett-Packard, VIA processor platform based on VIA C7-M, prematurely unleashing a refresh of its netbooks.

However now the Taiwanese company will no longer accept orders for the Eee PC 900, paving the way for his successor Eee PC 901, which should be officially presented during the first day of Computex 2008, on 3 June. Short life and then for the Eee PC 900, which began to be marketed in Asia beginning in late April and had seen the light on the Italian market only May 15.

The denials of Asus does not put to rest the ongoing rumors on the display Asus Eee PC 900: According to Digitimes will be equipped with LCD screen with touch screen functionality, confirming a news item published by us in the past. The new Asus netbook, presented at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany, is at the center of many debates on its hardware components! It seems now certain that the platform will be based on Intel Centrino Atom processor with Diamondville and that the operating system preinstalled will be Windows XP.

However, although Asus is keeping a tight restraint on its next low-cost notebooks, Digitimes continues to fuel rumors that the new Eee PC will have a display touchsreen. The use of an LCD panel with touch capabilities should increase the final cost of the product of only $ 10, thus proving to be an accessible and useful. It is indeed an interesting feature that could help to maintain high Asus distance itself from many competitors, recently landed in the crowded field of low-cost notebooks. E 'safe but the size of the panel, 8.9-inches, with a WSVGA resolution of 1024x600 pixels.

According to a news reported today by Digitimes, the company AU Optronics (AUO) and Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) will provide 8.9-inch LCD panels for the next generation of low-cost netbooks from Asus, Eee PC 900. SC Lin, vice president of CPT, which is responsible for the supply of LCD screens for small and medium sized, has stated in fact that by the end of June the company will respond to requests for 9-inch display, although not added for reasons of confidentiality, the client company.

Asus does not currently indicated what will be the official suppliers of LCD 8.9-inch WSVGA (1024 × 600) of the forthcoming Eee PC 900, but the display models provided by CPT and AUO will certainly comply. One of the two companies will then set to become the official supplier of Asus, with a natural growth of its profits.

We now know that Intel would like to call them netbooks, but we do not know yet what will be the operating system of the next low-cost laptop Asus Eee PC 900, which premiered at CeBIT 2008. From the first rumors emerged, it seems that Asus has decided to install the new version by 9 inches, the Windows XP operating system, but there are still many questions regarding unresolved.

multithumb () Asus, in fact, has announced the availability of two new models of small low-cost laptops by next summer, but as we all know, Microsoft should stop the marketing of Windows XP within the next month of June, despite petitions and campaigns deterrent. Certainly, as confirmed by the company in Redmond, the old OS will continue to be available for some areas, even beyond the date of his retirement. Microsoft, therefore, agreed to sell a large number of licenses for Windows XP, after he fought hard to push people to migrate to the new OS Windows Vista?
