The first day started off with the official launch of the new ASUS Eee PC 901 and 1000 series. These new netbooks are based on the new Intel Atom microprocessor and feature the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine which promises to maximize system performance while greatly extending battery life.

Three specific models were launched that day - the small Eee PC 901 with a 8.9" display and two Eee PC 1000 models with a 10" or 10.2" display. The Eee PC 1000 will come with a solid state drive (SSD) while the Eee PC 1000H will have a SATA hard disk drive and Dolby Sound Room support (also available with the Eee PC 901).

Here’s a something from the launch :-

Quote:

"The Eee PC 901 is the lightest of the three at just 1.1 kg. The Eee PC 1000 was the second heaviest at 1.33 kg. The Eee PC 1000H was even heavier at 1.45 kg. All three netbooks will come with a 6-cell battery, 1.3 megapixel webcam, 802b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth support."

The Intel Atom microprocessor was officially launched on the first day of Computex 2008. NVIDIA had sought to dampen the Intel Atom launch by launching their competing Tegra system-on-a-chip a day earlier, but from what we could tell, Intel was totally unfazed. In fact, they did not even mention Tegra during the event. It was as if the Tegra wasn't even worth talking about...

We had earlier covered the Intel Atom in our Intel Atom Tech Report, so it is really no secret what the Intel Atom can do. Based on a new microarchitecture, the Intel Atom was designed for use in the ultra-mobile, low-cost market that is the domain of netbooks and nettops.

Basically, these are small and light notebooks that can be made cheaply. Hence, the requirement for a small, low-cost processor that offers better price-performance-power ratios that are possible with current notebook processors. Read on and find out.
