*so confused*]]>Aug 22nd 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/
I agree that the Eee label should be junked if Asus want to fatten up on its margins. The name & the erstwhile Eee designs just scream entry-level. Interesting that Acer have just announced a $50 price drop for the Aspire One.

Understandable that Asus wants to go upscale, but they'll need more than a makeover of the exterior shell and a name change to get there. The competitors' styling (Aspire One, Lenovo S10) also look pretty spiff, and they're cheaper. What's needed to diferentiate is a better performing chipset, especially now that Asus want to connect to the TV.

Not sure why they'd put a fingerprint reader on a consumer notebook.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/

But seriously I just got my 1000H today and Asus announces a replacement?? Arrghh!]]>Aug 22nd 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/
Mmm, so if Asus makes another Eee model, they're diluting it more and more. If they make something different, it was because they diluted it so much. What is the point on reporting stories that you're so biased towards? I suppose now whenever Asus releases another laptop under 12 inches it will be somehow related to how diluted the Eee brand is.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/Aug 22nd 2008 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/
I'm confused as to why there is such negativity towards Asus. Do the same people that dismiss the many Asus models also complain about laptop manufacturers letting you configure notebooks individually? -confused-]]>Aug 23rd 2008 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/Aug 22nd 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/asus-n10-netbook-forgets-the-streets-ditches-eee-moniker/
