Asus Announces 11-inch Eee PC Netbook

Asus is probably looking to toy with the definition of netbook. It has made official the Eee PC 1101HA netbook. The 1101HA features an expansive 11-inch screen. Though it can be placed in the netbook segment by the virtue of its specs and price, the size of its screen does cast a serious doubt on its netbook status. According to rumors, Asus plans to begin shipping the 1101HA later this month. It will feature an Intel Atom Z520 processor with a clock speed of 1.33 GHz, 1GB memory, a 160GB hard-drive, WiFi, Bluetooth, 1.3MP camera and - hold your breath - an untrimmed keyboard. Its price is expected to be between $550 and $750.

Sounds way overpriced to me. The HP dv5-1150US that I'm writing this comment with was only $650, and it's a 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo P7350, Intel GMA 4500, 4GB RAM (expandable to 8GB), 320GB HD. DVD-RW, 1280X800, Wireless-A/G/N laptop. So unless this machine is featherweight and gets 3 days of battery life on a single charge, it lacks value.

I must say, Asus is now pushing it. Netbook or Notebook with this one? Hardware says netbook, price says notebook.
