Asus apparently plans to introduce a motion-sensing remote control that can be used to play video games on an Eee PC (or other computer) at Computex. Have I mentioned that the company seems to be getting carried away with slapping the Eee moniker on every new product? The Eee remote controls look a lot like […]

Asus starts appending Eee PC name to everything, even high end PCs
Asus appears determined to dilute the Eee PC brand by slapping the name on every possible product. Electronista reports that the company plans to rebrand its upcoming Essentio CS5110 computer as the “Eee Station.” The Eee Station will be a bit larger than the Eee Box, another Eee PC-branded desktop.

MSI Wind to come with a "turbo" button?
Crave is reporting that the upcoming MSI Wind ultraportable will have a “turbo” button that will let you overclock the CPU by about 20% instantly by hitting Fn+F10. My guess is what this actually means it that the Wind will typically be running a bit below capacity, and you can easily switch it up to […]
VIA redubs Isaiah processor line: Meet the Nanos
Chip maker VIA is introducing a new line of low-power, high performance processors. The Nano family of chips (formerly known under the codename Isaiah) are a long overdue upgrade to VIA’s C7-M series. While the C7 chips are certainly low-power, they also underperform similar chips from Intel. The 1.2GHz C7 CPU in my HP Mini-Note, […]

Asus stops taking orders for the Eee PC 900?
DigiTimes is reporting that Asus has stopped taking orders for the Eee PC 900 in anticipation of the launch of the Eee PC 901. That doesn’t mean the Eee PC 900 will disappear overnight. You can still find plenty of Windows and Linux models at online retailers including Amazon and Newegg. But it’s possible that […]

3K slashes RazorBook 400 price to $299
The 3K RazorBook 400 hasn’t even hit store shelves yet, and already the company is cuttings MSRP by 25%. At $400, the Razorbook looked like a pretty crappy Eee PC wannabe. At $300? Well, yeah, it still pretty much looks like a crappy Eee PC wannabe. But the lower price, plus the fact that it’s […]
