Eee PC lovers who have been dreaming of a unit that comes with a bigger screen and more storage capacity need not wait any longer. Asus has just unveiled a new model at
CeBIT that comes with a
9-inch (8.9 in reality)LCD display, a
larger touchpad and a
1.3 megapixel webcam. A
12 GB version will also be made available aside from the current 8 GB flock.
Engadget has a
side-by-side comparison of the two so you can clearly see the difference between the pioneer and the successor.
JKK Mobile, on the other hand, has a video hands-on take on this latest version of the Eee. This model will also ship with two OS options available installed,
Linux or
Windows XP, and this early on, there's even
talk of having the next Microsoft OS, Windows 7, installed on future variant.
Putting the size differential aside, it seems that the two will most likely perform the same in terms of power, but the additional inches and centimeters will most likely translate into a better experience for the user.
Target release date is
middle of this year so prospective Eee PC buyers might want to hold on to their hard-earned dough before making any impulse buys.
The promise of extra screen real estate might make me reconsider buying the current available model. But I'm still set on buying the Linux OS version. It's bound to be much faster than any version that comes with Windows and several thousand pesos cheaper without the Microsoft tax.
Try Pupeee Linux as an alternative operating system. Very small, very fast and very functional.
