Following on from the surprise success of its cheap and wee ‘Eee’ laptop, Asus is planning to rollout some additions to the range during the year.

These will include the E-DT [a desktop PC], E-TV and E-Monitor. The E-DT PC will be sold without a monitor, run on a Celeron processor and cost somewhere between £100 and £150, although Asus really wants it to keep it down at the £100 mark, if possible. The E-DT will upgrade to Intel’s Shelton’08 mobile platform featuring a single-core Diamondville CPU, which is due to launch in Q2. It will run at 1.6GHz, have a 533MHz FSB and a TDP of just 3.5Watts.

The E-Monitor will be an all-in-one system, like the Dell XPS One or iMac, based inside a 19-21in display with a in-built TV tuner. The price is expected to be around £250 or, in real terms, a whole lot cheaper than anything else on the market.

Finally, the E-TV is a HDTV, designed to compete in the “over 42-inch LCD TV market”, but will also throw in the same Linux-based PC functionality of the other Eee PC products. Asus said the goal will be to keep the pricing within £100 of similar sized TVs.-Martin Lynch
