8.9″ Black Eee PC Photo?
February 14th, 2008 by antA semi-mysterious picture has shown up on vr-zone.com which claims to show an ASUS Eee PC with a 8.9″ screen. You can see Johnny Shih on the right, but the photo is in too low resolution to see the laptop in detail.
Personally, I think it looks a little too big to be an Eee PC. It looks a little more like the upcoming ASUS U2, but I could be wrong. More discussion can be seen here.

[...] und der abgebildeten Personen kann damit eine (Photoshop-)Manipulation ausgeschlossen werden. Strittig ist vielmehr, ob das abgebildete Laptop wirklich ein EeePC ist und nicht eher ein hochpreisiges [...]

Definitely looks too big… the laptop is much more than two hands’ length in width, when you look at the man holding it. The form factor also does not match the EEE, I would expect the mousepad clicker to be evident in the front, but it is not. My impression is that the 8.9″ model will have the same form/chasis, just a larger screen… so the fact that this laptop does not match the EEE at all makes me doubt it is truly the 8.9″ model.

No. I’m telling you “Honey (in HR), I shrunk the CEOs”

No, that is defineatly the upcoming 11.1″ U2 model, premium model at a premium cost.

Er, no.
The big one at the back is a MacBook, and the 8″ is some pre-production sample, predating the 7″ one, before they’d decided for sure what size screen to go with.
