10 inch screen eeePC

Posted December 14, 2007 under eeepc

The rumors keep going back and forth. Der Standard (sorry, in German) writes that there will be a 10″ screen version next year, eeeuser (and several other sites) claim that those rumors are false.

While it’s clear that Asus has no interest in throttling interest in the current 7″ version, taking a close look at the case of the current model makes it very obvious why people think that this is the next step. A 9.3″ or 9.4″ display would fit perfectly. And there are a number of LCDs on the market in that size, resolutions around 1024×600 (or 800×480 – but that wouldn’t make sense). A 9.4″ 1024×600 eeePC 908 or even 916 (making up those model number… compare to 704 – 7″ with 4GB SSD) would be the absolute killer product. Asus, are you listening?
