Recently out in the States is the new Asus EEE notebook PC. This is the 4 Gigabyte model which has all the same basic specifications as the first generation of Asus Eee PC’s we’ve come to love and know for many reasons, but mainly because the Asus Eee is an extremely compact and low power consuming notebook that is perfect for travellers as it can fit in small hand luggage and is extremely lightweight.

The only difference we can see is that the new one runs Windows XP. Initial hunting around suggests that it will have an identical price tag to the Linux version of the Asus Eee PC 4G which leads me to believe that one of the statements below could well be probably true:

  • Asus may have reduced the cost of production
  • Microsoft may have struck a deal with Asus on XP with regards to licensing of software

The Asus EEE 4G PC gives you the following:

  • 900MHz Celeron Processor
  • 512MB DDR2 RAM & 4GB solid state memory
  • 7″ 800 x 480 pixel display with Integrated Graphics
  • Ethernet3 & USB 2.0 ports
  • Only 0.92kg in weight
  • Windows XP Home Edition

This latest version should hit the UK sometime this year with prices around £250 and there will probably be discount voucher codes available for the new Asus EEE’s from the major laptop retailers.
