The EeePC happens again this summer
Building on the success of its ultraportable unclassifiable, Asus plans to market this summer a new EeePC, with a bigger screen and more memory.
That will not fail to delight those who are too small screen seven-inch diagonal of the current EeePC: his big brother, the EeePC 900, scheduled for the summer, will incorporate a screen of 9-inch diagonal d a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
Better still, the camera will have 1 GB of RAM, twice her senior. The EeePC 900 should also be offered with storage capacities of up to 12 GB, still in flash memory.
And if the outward appearance of the EeePC 900 is very close to that of its predecessor, its internal architecture could change slightly with the adoption of one of the latest Intel processors nomadic family Atom. But the manufacturer has, for now, not commented on this point, cantonnant to indicate he would have recourse to a solution Intel signed.
The EeePC 900 is expected at a price of 400 euros TTC a 12 GB version At this price, it may come into direct competition with many portable input range, marketed at the same price or a hundred euros more expensive, at least in the minds of many consumers. Unless the EeePC of Asus gets a cannibaliser this offer, reinventing the segment of the first prize in the field of personal computers in small footprint.
