While we still wait on the $100 laptop, Taiwan's Asustek better known as ASUS has rolled out its laptop 'ASUS Eee PC' for $299. This carries excellent reviews already (read the reviews here) and the company hopes to sell half a million units by March this year. The Eee PC runs Linux (Xandros running KDE) and uses an appealing and innovative tabbed based user interface developed by Asustek. The device comes with OpenOffice, a Microsoft Office replacement, and Firefox. It is powered by an Intel processor, the 900 MHz Intel Celeron-M. Rumors are circulating that a new Intel Merom-based ASUS Eee PC may ship as early as April which will run so efficiently that it won't need a fan. The entire laptop will be solid state with no moving parts.
So 2008 introduces a super cheap, flexible, powerful mobile computer.
