Asus has unveiled three new notebooks in an attempt to build on the success of its original Eee PC device..

The Eee PC 901, 1000 and 1000(H) incorporate a built-in solid state drive for shock proof computing, and Asus claims that the new generation of machines consume even less power.

A new Super Hybrid Engine means that users can now enjoy longer battery life of seven to eight hours with a choice of performance and power consumption modes.

The Eee PC now offers a 20GB internet storage facility that allows a 5GB worth of downloads per day, file encryption and accessibility from Windows and Linux platforms.

The new models are available with a choice of Windows or GNU Linux, and Asus is also promising a wireless Eee Stick gaming accessory similar to the Nintendo Wiimote.

The Eee PCs come in six custom styles offering a choice of motifs and colours.
