Turn your iPhone into a netbook with OLO Computer
Are you ready for the unholy matrimony of two of the year’s biggest technology trends? That’s right – soon you’ll be able to turn your iPhone into a Eee PC-style netbook. Simply slot your iPhone into the space where the trackpad normally sits, and then enjoy all your applications with a full mechanical keyboard and 8.9″ screen.
It’s a little bit reminiscent of the ill-fated Palm Foleo, which could have been the first netbook, but was instead cancelled after a wave of criticism along the lines of “but no-one would want to carry a tiny notebook computer around!”. I bet Palm are cursing the Eee PC every day…
Virus alert! Asus Eee Box ships in Japan with malware
Asus, suddenly faced with an extremely popular product, has been slapping the Eee badge on everything it possibly can. Earlier this year, it announced the Eee Box, a small, low-cost desktop PC. The company has just admitted, however, that the version of the product shipping in Japan contains a virus…
Asus Eee PC 901 gets connectivity speed boost
Fans of the machine that started the netbook craze have got something new to be happy about. Asus announced this morning that they’re upgrading the 901 model to include HSUPA, better known as 3.75G. You know your phone that does 3G? Or your mate’s smartphone that does 3.5G? This is better…
Dell Inspiron 910 / Mini Note / E / Eee competitor full specs released
This one’s been bubbling under for a while – ever since Michael Dell was spotting carrying a tiny red notebook under his arm at All Things D. The name has changed several times, and we’ve been adding pencils to all the pictures of notebooks we can, but now it’s called the Inspiron 910. Until the next time we post about it, anyway…
Get Orange Broadband, and get a free eeePC 900 16GB
I’m getting really confused now by the plethora of eeePC model numbers. Turns out the 900 16GB is a version of the hugely popular netbook which sits inbetween the 900 and the 901. It doesn’t have the lovely Atom processor, but it does pack more storage than the 900 – an unsurprising 16GB. No word as to whether you get the Linux or the Windows model…
Asus announce "brown" Eee PC
Another day, another new ultra-portable laptop from Asus, and another one of the 23 secret Eee models revealed. Today’s is one of the most high-end – the S101 which has been described as an “Ultimate” Eee PC.
It’s pretty high-end stuff for an Asus so there’s suggestions that it won’t actually carry the Eee PC branding as obviously ‘Eee’ makes one think of cheap netbooks and, er, monitors and not high-end luxury…
Asus Eee 900A announced. The "A" stands for "[yet] another one"
Since Asus realised that its Eee line of tiny “netbook” laptops are wildly successful, it has been slapping an ‘Eee’ badge on to everything that’s compatible with electricity – from monitors, to desktop PCs, and apparently up to 23 different versions of the original Eee PC. The latest in this long line of brand dilution looks set to be the Eee PC 900A…
Asus Eee monitor – or is it something more?
Asus seems keen to make the most of the Eee brand while the going is good – with this Eee monitor now spotted in the wild…
ASUS Eee 1000H reviewed by Laptop Mag, is "least Eee-like Eee yet"
Since the Eee 1000H was first announced by ASUS, many have been left wondering if it really counts as a sub-notebook, or netbook, if you will. At 10″ in size, and $649 in price, it’s not far off a normal sized – and priced – laptop.
If you can forgive ASUS for those two points, you will find yourself with an amazing notebook by the sounds of things, with Laptop Mag claiming it’s “the least Eee-like Eee yet”, however “the most productive”, and that “everything’s gravier than past models, ‘cept the price”. Worth pointing out is that the battery life seems much improved upon, with the reviewer getting 4 hours and 28 minutes when connected to Wi-Fi!…
It's not a secret anymore, with ASUS confirming the Eee Box PC
After months of teasing us with ‘leaked’ photos, ASUS has finally – finally! – confirmed the existence of the Eee Box, although details surrounding the price are still hazy. Rats.
Not exactly the most powerful PC on the block, the Eee Box is definitely the desktop version of their popular Eee PC netbooks. An Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz chip, plus 1GB of DDR2 RAM and an 80GB HDD are all crammed in the slim casing, as well as a Gigabit Ethernet connection and 802.11n Wi-Fi. Before you ask…
