Acer to Compete with Asus Eee
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 06:00 PM
"The early success of Asus’ EEE PC appears to have spawned yet another competitor, this time from Taiwanese manufacturer Acer. According to the Chinese paper Commercial Times, Acer is preparing a direct competitor to the EEE for the first or second quarter of this year. While details on the new model were somewhat sparse, the notebooks will come with both 8 and 9 inch screens, which will be produced by AU Optronics, another Taiwanese company. Oddly enough, this is the same company supply to screens to Asus, so Acer’s equivalent will share some blood with its main competitor. Prices on the new models are actually predicted to be below existing EEE models."
I'll be really curious to see how Acer, or any other company for that matter, improves on the Eee. My best suggestion would be to up the screen resolution to at least 1024 x 768. Any other ideas for improvements?
