There you go. The much anticipated new Asus Eee PCs showcased at the Computex Taipei 2008. We have 3 new models, the 901, 1000 and the 1000H.

10″ Eee PC 1000 next to the 8.9″ Eee PC 901 (center) and the original 7″ Eee PC 701

Here are some of the key features of the 3 new models;
Eee PC 901:
New 6-cell battery lasts up to 7.8 hours
12GB SSD (Win XP Home) or 20GB SSD (Linux)
802.11n and Bluetooth
Max 1GB DDR2
1.1kg

Eee PC 1000(H):
New 6-cell battery lasts up to 7 hours
H stands for 80GB hard drive
802.11n and Bluetooth
Max 2GB DDR2
1.45kg

Eee PC 1000:
New 6-cell battery lasts up to 7.5 hours
40GB SSD
802.11n and Bluetooth
Max 2GB DDR2
1.33kg

They got the batteries right this time. And yes as expected, Intel’s Atom processor for all the models. Bluetooth finally! But what’s with the hard disk?

MSI also announced their Wind Notebook at Computex. Kind of sits somewhere in between the Eee PC and the HP 2133 mini-note really. But decidedly cheaper than both. Looks good!
