Asus has confirmed that their new Eee PC range will be available in the UK from 1 July.
The Eee PC 901 and Eee PC 1000 both run on the Intel’s Atom processor. The Atom has been specifically designed for use with the new breed of “netbooks”.
The new Asus range have bigger screens, more storage, 802.11n support, Bluetooth and a superior battery life than its predecessors. All units also come with 20GB of online web storage provided by Yo Store.
Asus report they have sold more than a million Eee PC netbooks since the launch in October last year.
“With constant innovations and implementation of the latest technologies in the new Eee PC range, we have expanded the original 3 ‘E’s into Easy, Excellent and Exciting,” said Jerry Shen, chief executive at Asus.
The success of the ultra portable low cost laptop has sparked competition in the industry with most major manufacturers producing similar products.
Asus say the Eee PC 901 will have a RRP for £319. Pricing for the slightly bigger Eee PC 1000 has yet to be confirmed.
