Upon reaching the milestone of surpassing 1 million EEE PC sets sold in just 6 months after its launch, Asus has now announced the release of the new EEE PC 901, 1000 and 1000H models.
These new iterations of the EEE PC add more options to users, including a shockproof Solid State Drive (SSD) design, Super Hybrid Engine for providing up to 7.8 hours of battery life, web storage as well as large displays for easier viewing. The EEE PC 901, 1000 and 1000(H) models will be available on both Windows and GNU Linux platforms.
The new EEE PC 901 offers a 8.9-inch screen while the EEE PC 1000 and 1000H models offer 10-inch screens. Furthermore, the EEE PCs come with a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam. The EEE PC 1000 models also offer a keyboard that is 92% the size of generic notebooks, aiming to make it more comfortable to type.
The new EEE PCs boast Intel's Atom processor as well as 12 or 20GB Solid State Drives (the EEE PC 1000 can be upgraded to a 40GB SSD, while the EEE PC 1000H can be upgraded to a 80GB HDD). For additional storage capacity, users will get up to 20GB of web-based storage. According to Asus, a 3.5G concept sample will also be displayed at Computex 2008, though there is no word on when 3G connectivity will be available to end-users.
The Asus EEE PC 901, EEE PC 1000 and EEE PC 1000H will all be available in North America soon. Suggested retail prices have yet to be announced.
