ASUS touchscreen Eee PC coming in 2009 with Windows 7

ASUS are not ones to be left behind, they know that HP are about to launch a touchscreen laptop, so they are making plans for their own version. ASUS hope to launch a touchscreen EeePC in 2009, and should coincide with the launch of Windows 7.

It is not sure what size screen the new ASUS touchscreen Eee PC will use, but DigiTimes assume that it could either be the 12.1 or 11.6 inch screen. The panel will either be developed by AU Optronics (AUO) or Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO).

Te one strange thing about all this, is the fact that ASUS say that the new laptop will be able to take advantage of the multi-touch capabilities of Windows 7, but that OS will not be launched until 2010. Think ASUS are getting a bit ahead of themselves.
