Asus Kills Off The Little EeePC’s
Asus, the name behind the popularity of Netbooks and no frills computing pioneers are set to put a stop to the smaller models.
If you’re after an Asus netbook with a screen smaller than 10-inches you’d better get your skates on!
The president of Asus has confirmed the company is intending to get rid of its older and smaller Eee PC models in favour of larger and more recent models such as the 1002HA model and S101. And it has no plans to unleash anymore netbooks with a display size of 10-inches or under.
The phasing out of the smaller models begins with the introduction of a $200 model for our American cousins.
My mind is still boggled as they created this niche and broke through – perhaps they’re quitting whilst they are ahead. Perhaps they can’t see longevity in this market.
Ah, remember the positive and forward thinking of last year……….those long summer days….
What do you reckon?
