is able to digitally monitor current CPU usage and automatically
fine-tune the CPU power supply with improved VRM efficiency to suit any
loading. The EPU is thus able to provide users with the ability to
moderate power for higher performance if required, or save CPU power
under low processing periods for the best possible performance with the
least amount of power – achieving industry-leading power savings.

To Buy or Not to Buy the Eee for $650

To Beers or Three Beers, this is the question! No, wait, I got it wrong, it must be the weekend.

To Buy or Not to Buy the Eee? This is the question of the week, day, minute. And I am not talking about the Eee in general as a concept but by the upcoming, Atom processor powered Eee PC. It’s rumored that anytime next week Asus will release the Eee PC containing an Atom processor. But the price rizes up to $650.
Here’s an idea, let’s throw in a DVD combo, let’s widen the screen to 13-15 inch and let’s give it an Atom processor and a 80GB HDD. We’ll conveniently call it Eee PC 1301-1501 and sell it for a little over $700. What do you guys think?

I guess we will know more about the Atom Eee next week.

Atom Asus PC 901 to be Released

We have gone through (already) the Eee PC 700 and the Eee 900. Eee lines are going to be created for desktops and monitors. Asus isn’t fooling around, are they?

The new Eee PC 901 is the new 900 version. It’s still an 8.9 inch cheap laptop which will be released on June 3rd and sold for less than $650. The new Asus will have an Atom Intel chipset (cool, right?), Bluetooth, and some metal parts added to the keyboard, hinge and to the border of the touchpad. Furthermore, Linux operated 901 will have more applications added to them.

One more important change is the brand name. Asus puts their fate in the Eee and its future so the 901 will feature an Eee logo instead of the Asusteck logo.
What do you think? I’d still go for the HP 2133 Mini-Note but that’s just me!

Asus X81H Notebook China Bound

ASUS X81H Notebook silently marked its entry in the China market. This latest stylish Notebook looks like the A81. This black colored model is expected to be available at 6999 Yuan. This 14.1 inch wide screen notebook operates on Linux operating system.

ASUS X81H equips a camera and a microphone. What’s new in it? I don’t think any captivating thing is added, it is just that a few things are eliminated and a few things upgraded, that has resulted in the making of ASUS X81H Notebook.

It runs on Intel T2390 processor and equips Intel PM965 motherboard chip set. It is provided with 802.11b/g wireless local area network module, 1GB memory, 160GB hard disk and built-in SuperMulti DVD Writer.
