Oh look, it's nearly time for Computex, which means it's
finally time for ECS to come out to play again. For whatever reason, it seems the aforesaid PC maker only pulls out the stakes for Taiwan's biggest consumer electronics show, and with the doors opening early next week, we're getting a sneak peek at what it'll be bringing to the mix. Not surprisingly, three of the five new machines are said to be of the
netbook variety, with the other two being all-in-one desktops. 'Course, the whole lot will be humming along on Intel's all-too-modest Atom, though we are led to believe that at least one rig will get equipped with NVIDIA's promising Ion technology. The T10IL (shown left) is apt to steal most of the attention, boasting a thin-and-light frame that'll look awfully similar to ASUS'
Eee PC 1008HA. The V10IL (shown right) is expected to be more of a vanilla type machine in terms of both design and specification, and the other guys are slated to be revealed at the show. You're tense with anticipation, aren't you?

The first OEM to offer ION + Atom + 10" + Option to upgrade to 7 from Vista free of charge = Sold.
sweet. sweet. sweet
Are you okay? It's white, but it's not a mac.
I have the eee pc 900 and it's a piece of crap.
Everyone knew that. Why'd you buy one? Ugh. Celery 900 in there, too? 4 Gb. SSD?
.. Maybe Moblin can offer some retribution? If you had a larger HDD, I'd recommend Win7.
These damn netbooks are sure garnering a lot of text space. I could understand some family in Mumbai, India or some nomads huddled in a yurt in Outer Mongolia getting excited over these things, but these under-powered netbooks are the dregs in terms of quality and technology. These netbooks are the equivalent of disposable cameras. Even Intel is ashamed of selling Atom processors to Americans and is paying dearly for it.
its the 1kilogram facebook device :>.
You got an issue with poor Indians you Apple tool?
At least it can copy paste without a future upgrade.
I agree with iphonerulez (never thought I'd actually utter those words), and on a similar note of hypocrisy, I have a feeling that if/when Apple decides to enter the market, they will probably be touting an Ion setup. I'm not an Apple fan mainly because I'm too poor and I prefer open Linux to closed Unix, but let me say this: If I have the money when Apple comes out with a netbook, I will be the first one to wipe OSX and install Ubuntu. :)
Then they'd be copying Lenovo!!!!1
Give me an ION-based netbook or laptop with SSD, Core2Duo and eSATA and HDMI outputs and I'll buy it.
It was around this time last year we were looking at the G10IL and what came of that? Nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if these were vaporware as well.
I completely 110% lost track of all those cheap netbooks and have no idea what's good or bad and that really stops me from even thinking of getting one, sorry but who can keep track?
