From APC (Australia) 10th July 2007 - There are also USB ports for connection of external hard drives, and an inbuilt 0.3 megapixel webcam, inbuilt stereo speakers and microphone. The display is a 7" LCD at 800x480. ASUS is targeting primary school kids who can benefit from learning computer skills but don't necessarily need full computer functionality. But there are other obvious markets for the eee PC. Ted Chen, managing director of ASUS Australia, said, "Applications on laptops today are mostly online, whether it is checking emails and communicating via other methods such as instant messaging or voice over IP, utilising online share spaces, or simply reading news. Being online has now become a big part of daily computing operations for work and fun, so to accommodate this movement and growing number of users, ASUS has introduced the low-cost and very easy, Eee PC."
ASUS is to release its bargain basement sub-AU$400 laptop PC, dubbed "eee PC", in Australia by September.
It will have 900MHz Intel mobile CPU-based laptop that boots Linux from 2GB of SSD flash memory in just 15 seconds.
It packs 512MB RAM, either a 4GB, 8GB or 16GB flash drive for storage, 10/100 ethernet, 802.11b/g wireless and a 56K modem.
