According to WIRED, ASUS has updated its famous Eee PC flagship with the newest Intel 1.66-GHz Atom N280 processor.
The new chip is able to provide fast computing speed as well as providing good HD video playback. On the existing Atom chip, video playback is poor and choppy at times. Thus with Intel's new Atom chip, users can look forward to a better entertainment choice.
I wonder how the rest of the competition would line up their own products. For now, ASUS has once again won the edge for being the first to come out with a new product of the new chip. The only thing that's left would be the pricing. It's reported to be selling at $400, which I suppose is roughly around S$800.
Quite a mid-range pricing, considering the previous netbook options. Let's see how the competition heats up for the new Intel chip.
