8GB Asus Eee is coming

It’s quite a surprise, but Asus is going to release an Eee ultra-mobile PC with a better display, more memory and storage. The good news is that despite the larger display (10” versus 7”) the computer size will be the same. That’s because the original 7” display is surrounded by a rather large frame, which really is a perfect fit for a 10” display. In my opinion, Asus designed it this way from the beginning, realizing that the real limit for a laptop size is the keyboard. How much will it cost? (not an actual photo of the 10” Eee PC)

Quick highlights

• 1.5GB of RAM
• 8GB of flash storage
• 0.92Kg

Update: this rumor turned out the be false. The 8GB Asus Eee has a 7″ display.
