Taiwan's Asustek Computer on Tuesday added a new member to its low-price "Eee PC" mini laptop family after achieving what the company said is a great success in the market.
Asustek's selling point for the slim "Eee PC," is its portability -- the computer weighs only a kilogramme (2.2 pounds) and 1.8 centimetres thick.
"This is the combination of an innovative industrial and arts design," Asustek chief executive officer Jerry Shen told reporters.
The new Eee PC S101, which is expected to hit the shelves later this month at a cost of 699 US dollars, comes with a choice of operating systems between Microsoft Windows or GNU Linux.
It is equipped with a 10.2-inch display, is powered by a battery with a lifespan of up to five hours and is less susceptible to shock damage, the company said. It has 1GB of memory and 30GB of storage.
The company has sold about four million Eee PC units since they were launched in October last year.
