Are Asus And Moko Teaming Up To Sell Underwear?

Rosa Golijan — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 00:20:10 +0000

Is this weird marketing campaign between Moko and Asus encouraging me to buy an EeePC or Calvin Klein undies? Or am I supposed to donate some shirts to these girls so they don’t have to wear those tiny things?

Seriously. What are they selling here? [moko via NetbookReviews - Thanks, Matt!]

Asus Eee Desktop PC EP20 Images Leaked

Haroon Malik — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:00:00 +0000

We brought you news about the Eee Desktop PC EP20 a little while back, but it looks like the chaps at Hot Hardware have managed to get hold of some shots of the final, production line models. Unfortunately, they aren’t willing to cite their source, but they are willing to say that the images “are indeed shots of an Asus Eee PC Desktop product that should be arriving to market some time in the next quarter or so.” From what we have previously seen, the EP20 isn’t quite as small as a Mac Mini, but we’re still liking the design. The bubbly pattern on the side of the white edition just makes us all fizzy with excitement. We can’t wait. [Hot Hardware]

MSI Wind Laptop to Make Eee PC Cry, “Eeek!”

Haroon Malik — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 05:50:00 +0000

Check out the latest entrant in the UMPC race, the MSI Wind, which we missed at CeBIT earlier last week. Toting a 10-inch display, Intel Shelton’08 platform, with variable processor speeds from 1.0GHz – 1.6GHz; 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, 1GB RAM, a reported 7-hour battery life and running either Linux or Windows operating systems, it seems MSI’s offering holds a lot of promise.

As we have yet to see an active screen shot from the MSI Wind we expect that it is still at prototype stage, but that has not stopped MSI churning out blue, silver and pink iterations. The styling is certainly a step up from the Eee PC, but perhaps that Eee body rework we heard about earlier will throw off the new competition. The Wind is expected to be priced between €299 (US$458) – €699 (US$1072), depending on options chosen. All in all, the sizable keyboard, price point and decent display size have our attention for sure. There is no word on a release date as yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
