ASUS Equips Its Notebooks, Netbooks, Nettops and Desktop PCs with Exclusive Technologies that Take Windows 7 Further
Enhancements to Notebooks and Eee Series PCs Extend and Improve the Overall Windows 7 Experience
(Red: OK, sounds cool – but remeber that Windows 7 is a bit more heavy than Windows XP was, so it might not just be a plus when were are talking netbooks.)
 

ASUS, the fastest-growing notebook brand and pioneer of the netbook, today announced that a select group of its notebooks and Eee Series PCs—including the Eee PC™, Eee PC™ Touch, EeeBox PC and EeeTop PC—will feature exclusive enhancements that are designed to extend and improve the overall Windows 7 experience. The applicable ASUS notebooks, which will come installed with 64-bit versions of Windows 7, promise a level of performance and security over and beyond that of notebooks running previous versions of Windows—most notably up to 40%* faster bootups and server-level security with enhanced core protection. Similarly, ASUS’ Eee Series PCs running Windows 7 will boast exclusive features that make them easier to use, faster, more energy efficient and more fun** than identically-spec’ed PCs from other brands—fulfilling ASUS’ promise that “Life is Eeeasy with Windows 7”.
(Red: Yes, Windows / IS easier than XP and especially Windows Vista, AND even though that it might be a tad heavier than Windows XP on you Asus eee PC netbook, I would still recommend it! It’s just simply better to have a modern OS than and old systm like XP taking up the space on your netbbok. And the difference is not that big – so go for Windows 7 on your next netbook, e.g. a Asus Eee Pc with Windows 7 vs. Windows XP.)
 
All ASUS notebooks installed with Windows 7 will run 64-bit versions of the operating system. (Red: well and by notebooks, they don’t mean netbooks, because they actually run a 32-bit version of Windows 7 on the Asus Eee PC netbooks..) This allows the notebooks to fully utilize the vastly-higher RAM ceiling that 64-bit Windows 7 affords—up to 128GB—dramatically improving their multitasking capabilities and processing speeds. 64-bit Windows 7-equipped ASUS notebooks will boot up up to 40%* faster than competing notebooks, thanks to FastBoot technology which shortens notebook boot times to as low as 30 seconds*. ASUS worked very closely with Microsoft Corp. on performance improvements in Windows 7 on ASUS PCs.
 
The marriage of Eee Series PCs and Windows 7 is the ultimate expression of the Eee brand’s “Easy, Excellent, Exciting” mantra. Windows 7-equipped Eee Series PCs allow users to enjoy near-instant access to the web and beyond with Fast Bootup Technology. They also feature Eee Docking or Eee Bar, user-friendly shortcut bars that give users direct and intuitive access to applications and web services, as well as ASUS @Vibe which serves as users’ window to a world of web-based multimedia entertainment. Furthermore, ASUS WebStorage gives users additional online storage space, allowing them to easily backup and share their files. With these exclusive usability features, life is truly “Eeeasy” with Windows 7.

It’s time to launch the new ASUS EeeTop PC ET20/22 Series (a touch screen PC – which can be used e.g. as a kitchen PC.) in Nordic 22Oct together with Windows 7 (Red: nice! The new windows!). ASUS EeeTop PC ET20/22 Series is a range of touch*-enabled, all-in-one PCs that provides users with the fundamentals of everyday computing and multimedia entertainment in an elegant space-saving design (red: I would use it in my kitchen!). Its forte lies in its ability to provide users with the ultimate home entertainment experience. The EeeTop PC ET22 and EeeTop PC ET20 feature a flushed 22-inch and 20-inch touch*-enabled display respectively that provides high definition images through the use of state-of-the-art graphics processors.

The ASUS EeeTop ET20/22 Series also lets users communicate via the easy-to-use Eee Cam, while the Eee Bar gives them access to their commonly-used applications (Red: cool, this touch machine PC should be great as a juke box but also a communication device / video phone). Users can also organize their photographs with FotoFun, and leave notes for their family and friends with Eee Memo. Simply put, the new ASUS EeeTop PC ET20/22 Series is the ideal all-in-one communications and entertainment PC for the family.
