Asus are set to supplement their much hyped Eee range of mini notebooks – 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.
