Asustek Computer has announced that they are developing a desktop version of the Eee PC. However, this computer will not be bundled with a monitor, whereas other specifications are still on the working stage.
Apparently, the desktop version will utilize the same system as that of Eee PC laptops as well as incorporated components such as CPU.
According to DigiTimes, “Jonathan Tseng – President of marketing at Asustek said that Eee PC has already begun to slow and that return rates for the product are above industry averages. Tseng pointed out that the Eee PC’s return and malfunction rates are both below 1%, according to internal data, while weekly shipments are around 5,800 units, and total worldwide shipments have already reached 100,000 units. With the launch of a Windows XP version Eee PC in December, the goal of 300,000 units is expected to be achieved by the end of this year.”
The company is expected to roll out the Eee Desktop PC by early 2008.
