Asus to unveil 23 eee PCs

It would appear that the world just cannot get enough of tiny PCs from computer manufacturer Asus. And if leaked pictures from Engadget China have any bearing on this, then the company is set to expand its range to a breathtaking 23 different types of small Eee 'puters.

The company is set to launch a high-end version of the Eee PC with a dual core Intel Atom processor that'll come with either a normal 120GB hard drive or a 32GB solid state disk drive.

According to Asus president Jerry Shen, these new "Ultimate" Eee devices could be on sale as soon as September. And the solid state disk version (the 'S' version) will sport a 10.1-inch LED backlight widescreen display and set you back around $700-900.

The roadmap was leaked and shows the new S101 and S91, which were described as 'exquisite' and 'emtreme slim and light' - so will probably be Asus' answer to the MacBook Air.

There will also be 'Pro Fashion' models as well. We do hope that these notebooks are not found in the toilet with their fingers down their throats though.

Shen thinks that the company will shift five million of these units this year, according to reports from Digitimes.
