ASUS' 11.6-inch Eee PC 1101HA comes alive at Computex

Remember that 11.6-inch Eee PC that was rumored to surface soon? Yeah, it's sitting in some nondescript corner of ASUS' booth at Computex. The show doesn't actually kick off in earnest until tomorrow, but we were able to grab the shot you see above in the meanwhile. So far, we know that the Eee PC 1101HA will feature a larger-than-usual 11.6-inch LCD, a 1,366 x 768 resolution, a battery good for "up to 11 hours" (color us skeptical), Intel's Atom Z520 / Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, three USB 2.0 sockets, a multicard reader and a case that definitely takes a note from the recently launched Seashell line. Oddly, we were led to believe that two different six-cell batteries could be offered (2220mAh and 2800mAh), presumably for different markets. At any rate, we'll be swooping in tomorrow to snag a few more shots, so be sure to stick around -- ya heard?

Can't be that long until the eee bunch make a 16" desktop replacement at this rate...

[DR House @ Jun 1st 2009 10:17AM]

More than 10inch is not a netbook anymore

Another question being, WILL IT BE OSX86 COMPATIBLE??? :O

[Fanfoot @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:57AM]

I heard that Snow Leopard breaks most of this hackintosh stuff. I read an article detailing how the hackers were trying to work around it but having no luck earlier today. I'll post a link when I can find it.

[micklol @ Jun 3rd 2009 4:12AM]

Judging from a quick comparison between a shot of the original seashell (1008HA) and this picture up here, I am guessing the form factor doesnt change. Asus simply got ride of those thick boarders around the screen, which is great news for me if the price is right!

[Eric @ Jun 5th 2009 3:21PM]

I am so proud of you for knowing whats coming up later one in this year!
But you should also know that netbooks cant have over 1GB of RAM!
There are also limits on the HDD size! Maybe you should do a little MORE homework before posting a comment and showing everyone your ignorance!

[Patriks7 @ Jun 1st 2009 9:52AM]

*Looks at the name*
Hahaha!

[Tes @ Jun 1st 2009 9:54AM]

Will they still be netbooks when we see 17" versions of these?

[mirakutea @ Jun 1st 2009 9:55AM]

interesting, so whats the specs of the Atom Z520 / Z530 ?

[Jayayess1190 @ Jun 1st 2009 9:59AM]

Z520: 1.33GHz

Z530: 1.6GHz

Both use GMA 500 chipset

yuck poulsbo

[htd @ Jun 1st 2009 10:00AM]

so what was that 10" 1024x600 crap all about? only for N270?

[Kelvinyam @ Jun 1st 2009 10:05AM]

The spec is very similar to Dell Mini 12.

[Fanfoot @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:57AM]

You mean the discontinued Dell Mini 12.

[Alexis @ Jun 1st 2009 10:20AM]

Nvidia ION and I'm sold.

Btw trying to make out the weight, is that 1.3kg?

[engatdget.com @ Jun 1st 2009 11:55AM]

Anything nvidia in it and I'm sold AGAINST it; stick with Dell mini10v for good Linux support (You can guarantee they'll sell the 720 high screen rather the 576 high screen as soon as I buy one)

[pika2000 @ Jun 1st 2009 10:45AM]

"It's better with Windows." Is that a new slogan for XP?

[htowngator @ Jun 1st 2009 10:45AM]

Any guesses on the cost? I'd assume something north of $499...

[BOGRASH @ Jun 1st 2009 11:47AM]

Windows 7 Starter Edition with a new approach to netbook size and cpu restrictions? FACTS I need not stupid childish jokes!!!! FACTS!!!!!!

[Per @ Jun 1st 2009 12:14PM]

Is 1366x768 to high a resolution for 10'' since they are only putting it on the 11''s?

[iKurt 5D @ Jun 1st 2009 1:41PM]

It looks like the first gen macbooks we are used to seeing.

[Major4Play @ Jun 20th 2009 2:56PM]

You sound like the 1st generation iDiots like iEye we were used to hating.

[emachedé @ Jun 1st 2009 1:52PM]

The Acer Aspire One Killer: 11 hours of battery and 11,6 inch. So nice!
2 questions: Price? When?

[hated @ Jun 1st 2009 2:28PM]

This is sick

[heng @ Jun 1st 2009 4:12PM]

Throw in a Multitouch capable touch screen and i'll buy it right away :) grr when is the t101h coming...

[Fanfoot @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:59AM]

Throw in a free monkey and I'm there too!

[m-p{3} @ Jun 2nd 2009 9:38AM]

I've used several laptop size at my office, and the 12" was my favorite tradeoff between portability and usability.

[mjdinsmore @ Jul 6th 2009 4:47PM]

10" is just plain too small. I need at least 1024x768 minimum before it's something that's useful -- especially if you're surfing the web. Most pages are designed for a larger screen. I'd rather carry around an extra 0.3 lbs and save my fingers from constant scrolling!
