ASUS Eee PC 1101HA Vista Premium Model won’t be launched in Japan

Few months back, ASUS Japan launched the ASUS Eee PC 1101HA and confirmed that it would be released with Windows Vista Home Premium (thus making it freely upgradable to Windows 7 free upgrade). Sadly, that plan has been canceled. The reason behind this could be that ASUS may launching it with Windows 7 after Windows 7 has been officially released to the public.

ASUS EEE 1101HA is the first 11-inch netbook by ASUS that has built-in overclocking capabilities. It has extremely long battery life (8h+).

Asus Eee PC S101H launching in Europe – Too Late?

Undoubtedly, no one can deceive Asus Eee PC S101H in terms of looks and it is one of the best looking netbooks on the market so far. But apart from its great looks, there are other things to take into considerations too. Main concerning thought is brought over its price. It’s pretty costly at €399 and comes with a 160GB hard drive and packs a 1.66GHz Atom N280 on a 667MHz bus. It costs as much as Acer’s 11.6-inch Aspire One 751.

Huawei unveils its own 10-inch netbook! – Looks a lot like EEE S101

Huawei is showing-off their 10-inch netbook, which looks a lot like the ASUS EEE PC S101. It has pretty much standard netbook specs except for that the fact that it comes with built-in UMTS modem. Let’s take a quite glance at its specifications.

• Intel Atom N270/N280

• 160GB HDD
• 10-inch display
• Integrated UMTS modem

There is no information about its release and price as yet. Sadly, this netbook also suffers from ‘small right shift key’ problem.

Asus Eee PC 1000HV does 720p video fine, but not 1080p

The Folks at eeepc.it were able to get their hands on the EEE 1000hv, which is basically an EEE 1000HE with ATi 3450HD GPU. With ATi GPU, the first thing that comes to mind is: performing a video test to test its video capabilities. So, they tested two videos: one 720p and other 1080p on the ASUS EEE PC 1000HV. 720p video played just fine on the EEE 1000HV, but it 1080p video suffered from sound lag.

ASUS EEE PC 1101HA Seashell – first 11 inch EEE PC!

For the first time, ASUS is going to unveil its first 11.6-inch netbook, the EEE 1101HA. The EEE 1101HA is equipped with the Atom Z520 or Z520 processor and comes with a gig of RAM. It has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

Two types of batteries are planned for it:

1. 2200mAh which claims to give you 9.5 hours of use
2. 2800mAh which claims to give you 11 hours of use

Commentary: I am unable to make out why the ASUS is doing the mistake which the Acer did with their Aspire 751 by equipping it with the Z520 processor. Also, what’s up with the 2200mAh battery ASUS? How can one get 9.5 hours out of it? Too many questions!

Kamal reviewed the EEE 1000HE a couple of weeks back and he was not so much pleased with the chiclet keyboard. I’m yet to try one of these though.

Future EEE PCs will have a better keyboard layout
