New Eee PCs from Asus Will Have Small Screens, Big Keyboards

Asus is working on a couple of new Eee PCs, the 904 and 905, say sources of DigiTimes. The models take the 8.9″ screen from the 900 and 901 and mash it up with the bigger keyboard on the Eee 1000, which doesn’t seem like a very good idea to us because the mini-notebook appeal is precisely its compact size. The new models may replace the current 900 series line entirely, but that, along with potentially increased battery life and storage capacity, is still up in the air. The price, however, are expected to remain the same. [DigiTimes]
