It can be hazardous to announce new products in case people hold off buying the old ones. However, Asus reckons it will have Intel Atom-powered Eee PC 901 and PC 1000 notebooks on sale in the UK on July 1, which is not that far away. The systems were announced at the recent Computex trade show in Taipei (below), though it's not usually a show that gets widely reported.
I'll be interested to try an Atom chip. The performance might be less than stonking, apparently, but it's small, cheap and power-efficient.
The new Asus machines will also have 20GB solid state drives plus 20GB of online space at YO Store. Asus has also shown a 1000H model with a hard drive, but hasn't said when, or even if, this will arrive.
