Recently, Asustek has made a new name for itself with the release of the low cost Eee PC. Now, it has announced the new Eee product line - all scheduled for release this year.

According to reports, the Eee product line will include E-DT, E-TV, and E-Monitor. The E-DT is a desktop PC that will be sporting an Intel Celeron chip and will not come with a monitor. E-TV on the other hand will be competing in the 42-inch plus market, while the E-Monitor will go for the smaller size division (19 to 21-inch) and comes with a built in TV tuner.

Both the E-DT and the E-Monitor will be carrying a Celeron processor, later progressing to Intel Shelton ‘08, Diamondville processor, and 945GC chipset. E-DT and E-TV will of course support Linux and all three will be sporting competitive market prices, with the E-DT costing between US 200 to US 300, the E-Monitor at US 499, and the E-TV at least US 200 less than competing products.

The E-DT has an ETA of April or May, while the E-TV and E-Monitor are both slated for September this year.

Asustek president Jerry Shen also noted that according to their research, the integration of touch screen capabilities to Eee PCs is not very much in demand. Sadly, the touch screen plans for the next generation Eee PCs have been suspended.
