華碩首款低價電腦 九月下旬上市

華碩(Asus)的首款低價電腦Eee PC,確定將在九月的第三個禮拜在台上市。

華碩今(4)日舉辦第二季法說會,該公司開放平台事業群總經理沈振來表示,迎戰OLPC與其他英特爾Classmate PC陣營的7吋低價電腦Eee PC 701,將於九月下旬在本地各大3C賣場上市。今年10月將再推出一款同等規格,只不過螢幕尺寸調整為8吋的機種;明年4月第二代Eee PC登場,採用英特爾明年推出的行動網路裝置(MID)平台Menlow,標榜無風扇設計,並且再推出9吋機種。

至於Eee PC的售價,華碩一改先前199美金的說法,對Eee PC未來售價三緘其口。沈振來表示,199美金的售價係適用於政府、教育等專案市場;至於面向一般消費者的售價,則還有待加計通路管銷、人事費用後計算。


不過,Eee PC的銷售模式也可能向手機和行動門號互相搭配的銷售方式師法,沈振來說。他表示屆時Eee PC可能和行動電信業者配合,提供給消費者申辦3G網卡、Eee PC免費的促銷方案。

沈振來預估在今年底以前,Eee PC的銷售量將達到30萬台;明年則最少為300萬台。

目 前低價電腦主事者可分為兩大陣營:一者係由麻省理工學院領軍的「一學童一筆電計劃」(OLPC, One Laptop Per Child)計畫,第一款OLPC 「OX」由台灣製造商廣達生產,確定在今年十月推出。參與者該計畫者還包括了AMD、Brightstar、Google、News Corp、Nortel與Red Hat。

另一陣營即為英特爾率隊的Classmate PC計畫,華碩即是在今年六月台北電腦展Computex期間,在英特爾發表該計畫時到場站台發表低價電腦Eee PC。訴求的是全球十億個學童、新興國家使用者。相較於OLPC,華碩認為Eee PC的效能價格比極具有優勢,等於是一台精簡功能的迷你筆記型電腦。此外,由於具有明確的市場定位:不與筆記型電腦和PDA裝置市場重疊,鎖定的是學童和 希望有第二台電腦的使用者,因此不會只存在利基(niche)市場。

Eee PC係採用英特爾800MHz或900MHz的Celeron M處理器、Linux作業系統,搭載七吋LCD螢幕、2GB或4GB固態硬碟(SSD, Solid State Disk)、256MB或512MB快閃記憶體。重量890克。

沈振來表示,第一代Eee PC的電池續航力為4到5個小時;到了第二代則可望拉長到9個小時。長進即在於Menlow平台的省電效益。

華碩也為Eee PC量身打造了許多周邊配備。沈振來表示,即將推出造型與Eee PC配合的無線網路AP、3G無線網路模組、電源供應器等。

「近來的零組件短缺問題,不會影響Eee PC的出貨,」沈振來說。他表示包括了固態硬碟、晶片、晶片組都已和供應商英特爾談定。現在唯一可能有吃緊的問題僅有電池和螢幕,不過影響不大。

It's so nice for me to have found this blogg of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blogg is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I POETRY write, among other types of Artistic Texts.

Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another. However...

Some feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs and rudely insult me back or post a mockery post on me.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit, in my miserable and ridiculous gain with Adsense (go figure!), from and with others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world and thus vital any kind of awareness such as I believe this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.

May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.

You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you FOR A SECOND click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy unemployedly need it!!!) if you did click it FOR A SECOND, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.

About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus I'll keep on apealing and searching so strong is my will.

I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
