Acer Aspire One is no doubt larger than than Eee PC 901 and it seems like Asus is quite not comfortable with that. DigiTimes is telling that Asus is planning to make bigger models of Eee PC 900 and 901 as Eee PC 904 and 905. These two versions are actually not new versions since Asus will implement same specs as the smaller version, except that they will sport a larger keyboard and will use the 8.9 inch panel. Upgrading battery and storage capacity is not confirmed.

Same price is planned for the new models and will eventually replace the Eee PC 900 and 901 series. Or keep the series at lower prices to better compete with Acer Aspire One.

After their success of summoning the MSI Wind, a better competitor of the Asus Eee PC, MSI has yet another promising child to take down the Eee PC Desktop.

MSI has introduced their MSI Wind Desktops at Computex last month. The rig will sport 1GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, DVD drive on board and WiFi and will come with Windows XP. The business version will come to Europe and Asia this month, but the consumer version will ship by September. The representative said that this will not be sold in US, but US based consumers can still avail through their online store.

In just a few days after Asus Eee PC shipped out last year, Cloudbook followed in strong confidence to compete with Asus, but then it looks like Everex stopped mingling with other ultra portables for a while now. I never have concrete basis on this being out of the loop of discussion in every blog I read.

So I glanced on their products site and found out that Cloudbook has not stopped yet. By Q1 or Q2 of next year, Everex is planning its huge come back with a better weapon. The Think Cloudbook MAX.

Think Cloudbook MAX will sport a 1.6GHz VIA C7®-M ULV processor, and will run with Windows Vista® Home Basic. It will also have a larger screen than the previous, an 8.9″ WVGA display. It will feature the usual 802.11b/g WiFi as well but its primary advantage is the integrated single chip Mobile WiMAX solution which allows faster connection to broadband networks. And that’s why they call it Internet Everywhere…
