Asustek to add motherboards to Eee family

By

In addition to the Eee PC and Eee Box, and previously announced all-in-one PC, Eee Top (previously known as Eee Monitor) and Eee TV, Asustek is also planning to add a motherboard line under the Eee family during first-quarter 2009, according to industry sources. The Eee Top will come in two versions, 16-inch and 19-inch, with pricing staring from US$450, noted the sources.

In additional news, Asustek has responded to recent reports of Eee Box systems shipping infected with a virus. The company said preliminary findings of its internal investigation suggest that the virus probably got on to the systems via a USB drive used for system testing and inspection. The initial virus infected program is only launched on models for the Japan market, the company claimed, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
