MTP Data center sells Eee PC now?

MTP Data write on their website that they have the Asus Eee PC in stock now?! MidtData sælger Eee PC nu?? shoppingcart 128x128 The same MID data center here.

In contrary, Elgiganten and LinuxShop still have it on reservation. How the heck do that connect together? Wonder if the 2 previous mentioned has just thrown that on the website and then pretend that they postpone it a few days off – so it happens to fit with the official release date? In that case they are full of lies, I’ll send them an email and just ask. Follow along here – if there are answers!

Update: Mid data sells Eee PC now?

I heard from Mid Data about their sale on Eee PC, which they already had put on the

Update til: MidtData sælger Eee PC nu?? eee pc 900

web last week – ready for sale immediately and shipped the same day as ordered.

They confirmed first that they had a “good enough” Eee PC on stock, but sent so soon after a mail number 2, who explained the first product will be launched Monday (today) and therefore would only be shipped today. Hmmm this is not quite optimal, you would have thought that you could sit with an Eee machine the whole weekend and you can already get it tomorrow. However, the chances are that “they have come” to send the first Eee’s out before the launching date, this is unknown.

MTP data has chosen not to respond to the mail I sent – you can call that a poor costumer service, so I would not recommend buying from them.

Update per july 29: it turns out that the MTP has replied to a wring email address because they obviously have been manually typing in the address. The answer was, moreover, that they had a few pieces in stock of the black. Linux variant..But it’s becoming old news now.

Guide: Install Ubuntu on Eee PC

New Eee PC clone: $ 99

There is now a new netbook/ ultra-portable market for the low price of $ 99! Ny Eee PC klon: 99$ jl7100 200x200 With exchange rates this amount to a price of just Dkk 469.51. There will be cargo charges, VAT and any duty

It’s called J-pro Mini Laptop JL7100. The company is headquartered in Hong Kong and all can fear that it is a “real china product” in a negative sense. Unfortunately, it is impossible to find the distributor of the product, but I would just send them an email and see if any replies here on the blog.

Unlike the other clones (or whatever we should call those who follow in the footsteps of Asus Eee PC’s to get their piece of the pie. ) it has here, at least some pretty lousy specs compared to the Eee PC:

And many other details! See for yourself at Join Tech’s website
All in all, it’s quite miserable specifications compared to the Asus Eee PC 900, but the price is indeed very tempting! So although not a direct comparison worthy, could the low price certainly easy to attract a handful of customers.

New Models on the way: Eee PC 903, 904 and 905

Rumors of new Eee PCs with bigger keyboard:Nye modeller på vej: Eee PC 903, 904 og 905 903 900a 200x200 Asus is out again with the new machine so quickly that is impossible to follow. Maybe they are trying to saturate the competitors so they have a harder time getting a foot in the ground?

The existing model and “ up coming models” includes the 700/701 (4G/8G) 900, 901, 1000, 1000H and Eee PC 1000HD besides Eee PC  Box (mini desktop PC) in another genre.

Now the rumors is that there are a few new models on sight: Exactly, with full model names Asus Eee PC 903, Asus Eee PC 904 and Asus Eee PC 905- where the previous mentioned will be called the Eee PC 900A instead. 904’s are already found with an edition with HD and Windows, it is 904HD, look at Asus Tek’s website.

The rumors have been mixed, but according to Asus’s website 904HD’s, it seems that the model comes with the “middle”screen at 8.9” with 1024x 600 resolution and Celeron CPU’s (although the newest models now come with Atom CPU that is faster and more Efficient). The other rumor is that the latest expansion to the series primary have a goal to sell the “cheap” 900- model in a slightly larger cabinet as a way to get a slightly larger keyboard – just because it has been a criticism from many users (they are simply too small for a person with sausage fingers or even oven glove look) it also seems that Eee PC 904 is choked on some other characteristics, not the least the webcam. So the rumor that this is going to be a cheap model is probably right!

But hold the thought a second, Asus sends a lot of news thing out- it is becoming more confusing series now!

Future for Eee PC: Ultimate and PRO Fashion models on its way

Asus has revealed a little about the future of their Eee PC model range. Fremtiden for Eee PC: Ultimate og PRO Fashion modeller på vej eee pc roadmap 350x269 As you know the series is a little crowded already with its approximately 11 different models, but before the is year is over, Asus expect Eee PC series will have approximately 23 different models! The models are designed to target different segments of the market and will divide 3- sharing model series on Smart Casual, Pro Fashion and Ultimate. See the pictures here, that shows the whole strategy at trustedreviews.com

Smart Causal– there’s not much new here, it will actually be the name of the current series, but there will still be new upcoming models.

Ultimate and Pro Fashion – will be more high end machines with dual Atom CPU (the current Atom CPU runs only single core, so we have to wait for the Intel manufacturers to produce dual core Atom, before we get to see them on sale) Moreover. They will be 10.1 “ screen and bigger disks – whether model numbers a la: Asus Eee PC Ultimate: S101 and S91, Asus Eee PC Pro fashion: 1000HV, 1002HA, 1002HA and T101. Beautiful- we are back in the happy 90’s when it comes to names.

The biggest disadvantages is of course the price – the Asus Eee PC started out as a small, cheap travel subnotebooks, but we are now approaching the major change in prices of the “ordinary” subnotebooks. The series is small to from being “netbooks” to be “ultraportable laptops”. But will probably get what you pay for – the question is just about whether you pay for what you need. My initial assessment is that if you work on tasks that requires “intense” processing power, it is still very rare that you would want to sit and work with subnotebooks.

LG on the road with the Eee PC competitor

LG på vej med Eee PC konkurrent lg logo

The first report that LG is also launching with an Eee PC competitor now fills online. Their Eee “wannabe killer” called LG X110and expected to be on the market by October. There will be a machine with an 9 inch screen. Intel Atom CPU, 120 GB HD and 2 GB of RAM – that is 3G so you won’t have to use dongle on your Eee PC  or to run 3G via Bluetooth. But before this is going to happen we have expect that Asus will launch a handful of Eee PC machines that can do everything or more.

In my opinion it is not great a great surprise since all major PC manufacturers have a new machine on the way. to the surprise of many people was the Asus Eee PC’s huge sales success, so it is no wonder that other manufacturers also wants a bite of Eee PC’s on the market. However, it must become more and more difficult because the market is so crowded – with all the Asus own Eee PC variants.

MSI Wind, Acer One and HP, we already know. And so we know that Intel and Dell also have some new and fun on it’s way. So I predict that we can soon expect a “Surprising” news that even Levono, Fujitsu, Siemens and Toshiba have Eee PC clones in mind. Medion’s also have a fine Eee PC clone ready for sale now. It is becoming a more of a old days news, but read a little more about it later during the day here on the Asus Eee PC Blog!
