Supposed ASUS Eee PC US roadmap for 2H 2009 leaks

Rumor

Netbook fans may be pleasantly surprised today — or perhaps disappointed — as a purported roadmap for ASUS’ US Eee PC offerings is currently making the rounds. Allegedly depicting the Eee PC launch schedule for the remainder of the year, this roadmap doesn’t offer too much in the way of excitement but at least those in need of a new netbook can get an idea of what ASUS will have to offer in the coming months. If it’s real, that is. Hit the jump for the details.

Thanks, Al-B!

    Win 7 or XP Home? Won’t this thing just crawl with 7 installed, or has Vista left a nasty image in my head…

    Dio,
    I guess you have not read any of the other report on W7 or tried it yourself. To answer your question, no. W7 should be just fine.

    @ fynx
    No, I have not read much about W7 or installed it on anything. Not sure how much MS fixed from Vista so I had to ask. Faster than XP though? I’m willing to give it a try.

    The new 1008HA should be nice.
