The eagerly awaited Eeepc1218 an the one-piece aluminium shelled beauty as sleek as an MacBook Air which combines elegance with practicality - packing a range of ports that we have come to expect from ASUS this one will pack the Nvidia Ion2 GPU ( see video from Nvidia below) ... no pricing yet.

Last but not least there is the Eee PC 1005PR the device that will pack the Broadcom'sCrystal HD accelerator ( see below) along with Intel's Atom N450 processor, 250GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a battery good for "11 hours" of life. In a package selling for $399.99

ASUS CEO Jerry Shen has not only stated that ASUS will sell 8 million EeePC's this year capturing 20% of the market, he has predicted that netbooks will continue to outsell new tablet PC's in an interview on April 30th this on the day that Steve Jobs announced that the iPad has sold 1 million units in its first month!
