New ASUS notebook models break the bank

by Elisabeth Young on Jun 17, 2008 at 07:14 AM

ASUS representatives have released their pricing figures on the latest line of ASUS notebooks in the market – the Eee PC Series. Officially labeled as the ASUS 901, 1000, and 1000H, they are priced at $599, $699, and $649, respectively. We were surprised at the high cost however the ASUS Eee PC 1000-series are still subject for price changes.

The latest ASUS series are running either Linux or Windows XP. Both the 1000 and 1000H models have 10-inch computer screens, while the Eee PC 901 has a smaller frame of 8.9-inch display. All three run notebooks are powered by Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom processor. The ASUS laptops are available in two color variants: black and white casings.

The pricing for the ASUS Eee Series are perceived to be too high for their specs. Competing brands of the same range of notebook category, such as the MSI Wind, and the Linux Wind are cheaper than the ASUS notebooks leaving us to wonder what the leader in the niche is up to.
