LAPTOPGRAM

Everybody is jealous with the success of Asus Eee PC. After HP, now Dell join the party. The words is spreading from Taiwan as a local manufacturer, Compal, has been developing a sub-notebook for Dell. Based on Atom processor, the laptop will be shipped up to 300.000 units each month.

Asus is believed to have sold over 1m Eees since the ground-breaking mini computer went on sale in October 2007. That’s roughly 167,000 a month, so Dell is clearly anticipating strong demand for its machine going forward. There’s certainly been demand for the Asus product, though supply has frequently failed to meet it.
