About a week ago, Asus has brought to Italy the new Eee PC family members, and in particular models Asus Eee PC 1000H, 901 and 904HD. Recall that the month of October, the series will add the version Eee PC 1000, with an LCD module and 10-inch SSD for data storage. The real innovation of the last launch of the company in Taiwan is undoubtedly the netbook Eee PC 904, which can be considered a product of transition between version 900 and 1000.

Equipped with an LCD screen 8.9-inch, l 'Asus Eee PC 904 is built on a chassis of a typical model Eee PC 1000, 10.2 inches, with a larger keyboard and an Intel Celeron. The design recalls the founder of the family, Eee PC 701, with which it shares the position of the speakers at the sides of the display. Our colleagues MobileComputer have had the opportunity to get their hands on an early copy of Eee PC 904, bringing out its strengths and weaknesses.

Asus may have decided to take a step back in the adoption of WiMAX on its highly anticipated Atom-based version of the EEA PC: as reported by Digitimes, the WiMAX module will not be part of the envelope technique Asus Eee PC 901, contrary to solemnly announced in January during a press conference jointly with Intel and Sprint Nextel at CES 2008.

The Intel Centrino Atom platform will be the springboard for the network adapters and Baxter Peak WiMAX EchoPeak Intel, however, after careful reflection, Asustek believes that WiMAX will not reach sufficient maturity to justify its presence on the Eee PC 901 Netbook in 2008. From here, the solution to make WiMAX an option given to customers by subscription. Asus is not the only one to have concerns about the efficiency of first WiMAX networks: arriving from abroad news very encouraging and it seems that the frequencies allocated in Italy to be inappropriate.

The last member of the family seems almost EEEPC (with forgiveness of Fanboys) a cousin of the Macbook Air from Apple. With few exceptions such as the HP Compaq Mini 700, are accustomed to the Netbook are quite thick and not much emphasis on his design.
