The latest iteration of the highly successful Asus Eee PC has recently been launched locally. It’s a bit more expensive as compared to the first release, but at least this one packs in more features albeit maintaining its ultra-compact and light-weight form factor.
Aside from the larger screen, it now comes in bigger storage capacities of 12 and 20 GB, a 1.3-megapixel camera, multi-touch enabled touchpad, and option to either go Windows or stay with Linux. As a result of this latest version being released in the market, the first edition’s price has been steadily going down to pave the way for this new model.
While the improvements are indeed most welcome, the question for current Eee PC owners is: are these new features good enough for you to upgrade or will you wait for something more remarkable to come out in the near future like the Intel Atom-based model?

without yet the optical drive it lacks the features most users need.
it's a second computer, it doesn't need an optical drive. with the advent of cheap usb drives of up to 8gig or so you can always transfer files that need to be burned onto your main laptop or desktop with a dvd writer.
is this supposed to be a review? ang konti naman. the post doesn't even mention the pros and cons.
This isn't a review, but merely an announcement that the new Eee PC has finally arrived in the Philippines. We haven't gotten a unit yet for review, but we do look forward to featuring it in the magazine soon.
this is a pretty decent machine. But it's really meant to be a secondary PC; not your main workstation.
But if all your "main work" comprises of only emails, accessing the net peppered here and there w/ light media use (listening to mp3's, loading pics from ur cam), then this could be all you might need. Hook it up to an external LCD and regular-sized keyboard to have better computing experience when you're using this at home. =)
i love the Asus Eee PC, it is very light, cheap and portable. I also bought another unit for my girlfriend and she really likes it.
i recently bought a white Asus Eee PC and i am very surprised about the size of this machine. it is very small and lightweight compared to my Toshiba laptop.
