Rumors from the Inquirer About the Various Eee PC Models

Monday, September 24th, 2007 by ant

Rumored information from the recent Intel Developer Forum has been posted in an article on the Inquirer website about the upcoming Eee PC model lines. They speculate that there will be at least four different varieties:

Models: 700-C / 700 / 701 / 701-6

700-C: 2GB, 256MB DDR-2, no camera, 2cell battery, no wifi, wired ethernet, 56k modem, $199 price (they also say this model will be available on tender only…)

700: 2GB, 256MB DDR-2, no camera, 4cell battery, wifi, wired ethernet, no modem, $239

701: 4GB, 512MB DDR-2, camera, 4cell battery, wifi, wired ethernet, no modem, $299

701-6: 6GB, 512MB DDR-2, camera, 4cell battery, wifi, wired ethernet, no modem, $399

We are not fully sure how accurate this information is, however the inquirer does claim that it is straight off of an Intel data sheet. If this does turn out to be accurate, the 2GB/246MB boost on the 701 model seem to be a solid upgrade from initial speculation. However, if the speculation that the 700 models have soldered on SSD and RAM components is true, you would pretty much be forced to buy the 701 if you wanted 512MB of ram- which isn’t so bad as you’d technically be getting the speculated “$399″ model for the $299 price.

But of course, as always, this is just more speculation!

Russian Review on Eee PC 700

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007 by ant

A Russian technology website got a hold of a black Eee PC 700- and they took it apart! For the complete review in English, click here. 3DNews have mistakenly labeled the device as a 701- it is not- as you can see on this photo. It is in fact the Eee PC 700- you can see the 700 on the top of the information label. Plenty of pictures and plenty of information (even if Russian doesn’t translate too well to English via Google Translate…) Enjoy!
