- which has recently expanded thanks to the new Asus Eee 900 - with a
larger version of the Eee sporting a 10' screen as opposed to the Eee
900's 8.9' display and the original Eee's dinky 7' screen.
Jerry Shen, the CEO of Asustek, made the announcement at the official
launch of the Eee 900 stating that 'The feedback we've received from
users has been great. Many have asked us for bigger screens and better
usability. That’s what made us start developing the Eee PC 900.'
Asus's CEO made no mention as to when the new, larger screened Eee could
become available though it's not beyond the realms of possibility that
the new model could surface this year though, with the larger display
size, the pricing point will be considerably more than the Eee 900 which
went on sale this Monday for the equivalent of $828.
Could this new larger Eee transpire to be Asus's response to HP's
Mini-Note, which is generally seen as the rich man's Eee and boasts a
keyboard only fractionally smaller than that of a traditional standard
sized notebook? Time will tell, but we suspect that this may well prove
to be the case.
