Asus to Release Eee PC 904 and 905, with Larger Keyboards
Jun 30th
Asustek is reportedly planning to come up with another variants of the Eee PC 900 and 901 – the Eee PC 904 and 905. The two models will be a hybrid of the 900/901 and the 1000 Eee PCs. Meaning, they will have the 8.9-inch panel but with the chassis and keyboard of the Eee PC 1000.
According to a Digitimes report, the Eee PC 904 and 905 will also have the Atom processors. As for its battery and storage capacity, Asustek is yet to come out with a decision.
Relatedly, Asustek is also planning to release the two new Eee PC models at a similar price range as the 900 and 901, which will lead them to eventually replace the 900/901 or perhaps leave them in the market to compete with the Acer Aspire One.
Are you ready for an Eee PC with a larger keyboards? Frankly, I don’t mind the current keyboards of the Eee PC models. At first it’s hard to use, but eventually you’ll get use to it.

MSI vs. Eee PC 901, the Battle Begins on July 7 or 8?
Jun 27th
MSI Wind was supposed to come out today in the US but for no apparent reason, MSI Wind decided to delay its release until July 7. In the meantime, we also heard that the Eee PC 901 is about to get its US release on July 8. Whether this is coincidental or MSI intentionally delayed the release of the Wind U100, the fact still remains that this two netbooks are about to clash head on, and that the inevitable is about to happen – Asus will no longer dominate the ultraportable low-cost PC department.
Of course, we must also remind you that the MSI wind will be cheaper by $200 than the Eee PC 901. But, the Eee PC 901 will have a better 6-cell battery than the MSI Wind which would only come with the 3-cell battery model.
So, whose side are you on? If you are to get yourself an ULPC on July, which one would you choose?
