The Eee PC T91MT with new pSSD drive
Jan 26th
Asus have revealed that their new Eee PC T91MT multi-touch netbook will feature the 32GB pSSD Gen2 drive from SanDisk. Asus chose this model from SanDisk’s offerings as it suits the netbooks low power needs and small form factor requirements.
As many readers would already be aware, this means enhanced durability for the T91MT because the SSD drive brings with it near 0% chance of mechanical failure as it contains no movin
g parts, is much quieter than other hard drives and uses far less power as well. It would also give a much, much less chance of data loss due to failure of the drive.
The Eee PC T91MT comes bundled with Windows 7 Home Premium and supports touch gestures such as rotating, pinching and swiping, let alone the fact that it can also be used as a tablet PC.
It also provides a 8.9 inch screen, weighs less than 1Kg and is of a very compact size. The Eee PC T91MT is quickly proving to be a very interesting and anticipated release.
Blu-ray Capable Eee Box EB1501 Shows Up in Europe Stores
Jan 13th
It seems that Asus has quietly slipped out a new model of its powerful nettop Eee Box EB1501 that was released sometime in October – this time with the same model number but with additional elements. Hence the new model is called the Eee Box EB1501-BO367.
But it’s not all about branding though. Asus has definitely made this newer model special with its Blu-ray capability. Yes, you read it right folks. If you were happy with the slot loading DVD player the came with the original EB1501, that same feature is present in the BO-367, but with the added Blu-ray capability.
Isn’t that sweet?
Anyway, aside from the Blu-ray feature, the Eee Box EB1501 also boasts of the same features including 2GB of RAM, 320GB of HDD, WiFi, gigabit ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 memory card reader, audio in/out, S/PDIF and DVI.
The new Eee Box EB1501 with Blu-ray is available for $618 at this site.

Asus Waveface computing concept mockups go live at CES
Jan 11th
Just as it doesn’t want to limit itself in terms of software and mainstream mobile processors for mobile PCs, Asus doesn’t want to rely on the tried and tested netbook form factor forever either. This much is evidenced by the presence of Waveface computing concept mockups at the company’s booth in CES. Pictured above is just one mockup of a Waveface device that Asus is conceptualizing at the moment. As you can see, it’s more flexible than any netbook you and I have ever known, and definitely a lot more portable. Only problem I have with this is, where are they going to hide the battery? It’s probably still a long way until the Waveface comes into retail form, but when it does, I’m sure many will be waiting. In the meantime, Asus is giving us a sneak peek. See more photos at the link below.
