The new Eee family includes the new Eee pc 901, a Eee pc 1000 and a Desktop version of the Eee, named the 'Ebox' http://www.blogeee.net/2008/06/03/exclusif...-du-eeepc-1000/ All 3 include a 1.6GHZ Intel Atom processor The 901 has the same specs as the 900, apart from the processor, design and blutooth is now built in The 1000 includes a 10" screen and a keyboard 92% of a standard keyboard, and a 40GB SSD or a 80GB Hard drive. Asus claim the 901 and 1000 to have 7.8 hours of battery life. Although details aren't complete yet, that's all I could find for the time being.

EvoLuTioN Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Those PC's look really nice, I was expecting something bulky. 7.8 hours of battery life sounds good. When are you getting yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Nice... Those Eee PCs surely look better than the original... I wonder if it's good enough to run GTA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 GTA..... on something that's running the Atom? That thing is slower than my 5 year old desktop computer (and no GFX card I think. Not sure though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 No GFX card, I think it's soldered onto the RAM and they share the memory, I think there's 64MB dedicated for games etc. If you run San Andreas on the lowest settings you'll get a pretty decent frame rate out of it, they did it with the original 701.. I'll be getting my 901 as soon as it arrives on Australian shores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like 25-30 fps, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure, yes. I ran SA on a Pentium 4 and it ran perfectly on the lowest settings, despite it taking well over 10 minutes to load explorer = = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
