ASUS prepping $700+ Ultimate and Pro Eee PCs

With Eee PCs selling like hotcakes, ASUS has been quick to add additional SKUs to their lineup, which now stands at 11 different models. Later this year though ASUS plans to introduce more powerful Eee PC systems featuring dual-core Atom CPUs and larger storage options (either 120GB HDD or a 32GB SSD). The new systems will be given the "Ultimate" or "Pro" moniker, and command a significantly higher price tag:

Regarding the launch schedule of these upcoming Eee PCs, Shen detailed that an Eee PC with 32GB SSD (S series) will be introduced in late September. The model will feature a 10.1-inch 16:9 ratio LED backlit panel and battery life of 4-5 hours. The new Eee PC will be priced in the range of US$700-900 and will be the first Eee PC designed for the high-end market, Shen detailed.
