Italy is to get the new Asus Eee PC 1000HV soon as part of a new launch expansion while Asus France is looking to slim down its Eee PC range.
The Eee PC 1000HV is basically the same as the Eee PC 1000HE but with one defining difference: enhanced graphic abilities. The new 1000HV is to receive the ATI Radeon HD 3450 with 256MB of dedicated memory while the previous lines have the integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics. So it looks to be the netbook that can handle some heavy gaming duties. The 1000HV will carry with it the 1.66Ghz Intel Atom N280 processor.
Meanwhile, Version 3.0 of the Eeebuntu Base custom Linux distribution for Asus’ Eee PC netbook line is now available. Eeeubuntu Base Edition 3.0 is based on the recently released Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, which we recently covered. The new Ubuntu 9.04 kernel is said to already decently support netbooks, but the Eeebuntu uses a further customised kernel that is specially suited for the hardware and hotkeys that are found on the Eee PC. This is great news for those who may want to just have something simple to download and install without needing much tinkering.
