Asus have released quite a few netbooks in the first half of 2009, between the Seashell series and the touch screen netbooks, Asus have been pretty busy. However, according to some industry sources, that is all we can expect to see from the Asus line for this year.
These same industry sources are saying that Asus wont be releasing anything new before the end of year holiday season and that they may even wait until 2010 to get the full benefit of Windows 7 and Intel’s new Pine Trail-M Atom processors when they are available.
Asus are still expected to launch the Eee PC T101H before the end of 2009, however, but probably not much else.
Furthermore, Asus intend to focus on the larger and higher priced, though still hopefully thin and light laptops. Some of these are expected to use Intel’s CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) chips instead of the more commonly used Intel Atom processors.
Does this mean the Asus Eee PC T91A and T91Go touch screen netbooks may not be making an experience this month, next month or even this year? I am sure many Eee Users are hoping they are released much earlier than next year.
