Asus Ships 2nd Gen Eee PC

Asus aims to beat Acer and HP to the punch by shipping its second generation Eee PC first, without including Intel's recently released Atom processor. This new line of updated notebooks will instead rely on Intel's Celeron M processors that can be found in existing Eee PC units. Guess future Eee PC updates will receive the Atom processor, being more efficient as well as faster than what today's Celeron-based models can offer. I guess things have gotten really personal this time - if you were in Asus' shoes, would you delay its release and sacrifice first mover advantage for a superior processor?

so sorry to deny but Atom @ 1.6GHz will not be as fast as 900MHz Celeron M ULV but probably slower.
Just ggogle for bench already performed here and there.

I own an original EEE PC and the performance is fine, so the processor doesn't need changing. The small screen however is another matter, so ASUS is right to get it out as fast as possible.
The two models can certainly be sold side-by-side for a while - the new one (bigger screen) will be more expensive after all.
