The year of the Eee PC at ASUS

This year was the year of the EUS PCs branded ASUS, with almost countless new arrivals.

Suffice it to think of the month of October, when three machines were introduced to the general public.

One would think that in the case of new machines, only the newer skin is pulled off the old machines, but this is not the case, at least not completely. The concept is to pack as much force as possible into the old, i.e. the smallest possible machine so that the software on the desktops remains usable.

The latter sentence is perhaps the point, as tablets are now seen as replacements for netbooks, which can be difficult to achieve at their current level, as most of these machines run a mobile operating system that does not allow the use of standard, full-featured software such as Microsoft Office.

So the point is that behind the old concept, new and even newer hardware and ideas are built into the machines. The traditional Atom platform is also evolving, but in the meantime, rival AMD hardware has also appeared inside Eee PCs.

In addition to hardware changes, the exterior also changes. In addition to the old black and white colors, the exteriors designed by designers such as Karim Rasid also appeared, so the color, and minimally the shape, also changed. According to the news, this trend will continue next year, and we won’t be left without an interesting or just stylish Eee PC.

Speaking of design, it’s worth taking a bit off the Eee waters, as ASUS also introduced the David Lewis-branded portable machine in 2010, which we think is one of the most special notebooks we’ve seen so far. It is a true multimedia cannon that has brought a new color to the market in terms of both picture and sound quality.

For now, it seems that ASUS doesn’t particularly believe that tablets will replace mini-PCs, and we think they’re right about that, so we’re already looking forward to 2011 with the arrival of the new machines, which will then we can also introduce it to you, readers. In the meantime, we wish everyone a happy Eee PC-rich holiday!
