Now THIS is what the eeepc should have been. I see they very suspiciously left out the price of the XP system.Hmmm...but assuming that Windows XP can be slapped onto the linux version and given the fact that laptop memory is now extremely cheap (pitch the 512 and slap in a 2gb stick perhaps), $400 is an absolute f*****n steal for this thing.*Considers*
Everyone is talking about the Asus EEE 901 coming soon but looks like the Asus 1000 will also arrive at Computex 2008.ASUS is looking forward to welcoming you during Computex 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan, for the ASUS’ 08 Computex Trilogy of launch events. We would also like to specially extend an invitation to you to attend the official global launch of the new Eee PC™ 901 and 1000 series.This makes sense with the MSI Wind soon launching with their 10" mini notebook. Asus would counter with their own 10" mini notebook.
Quick(ish) Red Fox jumps over LazEee PCBy Stewart Meagher: Wednesday, 28 May 2008, 11:57 AMTHE ULPC MARKET just got a little more complicated with the birth of the Red Fox Wizbook, a direct - and on first impressions more than worthy - opponent to the plucky little Intel-powered Eee PC from Asus.The Wizbook comes in two flavours and seems to be available in the Philipines only at around Ł225 for for the 10-inch version and Ł190 for the lower-specced eight-incher.The gadget boasts a bigger screen than the Eee PC, as well as a replaceable 80GB HDD, a PCMIA slot and double the battery life.Both models come pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux but there seems to be no reason (other than price, of course) why either would not happily run Windows XP. µL'InqRedFoxWizbook Tech SpecProcessor - AMD LX800, 500MHzL1 Cache Size - 128KBL2 Cache Size - 128KBOS - LinuxScreen Size (Diagonal) - 10.2-inchScreen Format - 16:9Resolution - 1024×600Contrast Ratio - 500Backlight Unit - LEDInterface - LVDSBuilt-In Stereo Speakers - 2×1.5WCapacities - HDD 60GBCapacities - 512MBLAN slot RJ-45 - Yes802.11b/g wireless - YESPCMCIA slot - YESCard reader - SD/MMC/MSport - YesHeadphone output - YesDC In - 12VUSB Slot - 2×USBMicrophone input - YesRechargeable Battery Pack - 2200mAh (4.5 hours)Unit Dimensions (mm) - 260×195×36Unit Weight (kg) - Under 1 .2kgWi-Fi ReadyWizbook 800 Tech SpecProcessor - AMD LX700, 400MHzL1 Cache Size - 128KBL2 Cache Size - 128KBOS - LinuxScreen Size (Diagonal) - 8-inchScreen Format - 16:9Resolution - 800x480Contrast Ratio - 500Backlight Unit - LEDInterface - LVDSBuilt-In Stereo Speakers - 2×1.5WCapacities - 20GBCapacities - 512MBLAN slot RJ-45 - Yes802.11b/g wireless - YESPCMCIA slot - YESCard reader - SD/MMC/MSport - YesHeadphone output - YesDC In - 12VUSB Slot - 2xUSBMicrophone input - YesRechargeable Battery Pack - 2200mAh (3.5 hours)Unit Dimensions (mm) - 250x188x36Unit Weight (kg) - Under 1 .2kgWi-Fi Ready
