Asus blurs the Netbook lines further and launches the Eee PC 1004DN with optical disc drive

Jump to Comments

There are a few things that typically differentiate netbooks from their larger laptop counterparts. They’re smaller, lighter, and cheaper. And up until now, they’ve tended to lack optical disc drives. But it looks like that’s about to change. Asus is showing an Eee PC model with a disc drive at CES.

The Asus Eee PC 1004DN looks an awful lot like the Eee PC 1002HA, except it has the new chiclet style keyboard and a disc drive that will read and burn DVDs and CDs.

Here’s a rundown of the rest of the specs:

* CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280
* Display: 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
* RAM: 1GB
* HDD: 160GB
* Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth
* Expansion: 3 USB ports, 1 VGA port
* Dimensions: 10.4″ x 7.1″ x 1″

  • the processor speed is 1.66MHz the difference between it(N280) and the previous 1.6MHZ N270 processor is exactly that last digit.

  • Have you seen the 8.9′ & 10.2′ netbook with VIA c7 -Mr Mobile processor and VIA chipset-1600MHZ ,O/P Windows XP/Linux price at $289.00,unfortunately,the battery can only work 3hs.
