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?
