Asustek Computer is confident it will achieve an over 50% on-year notebook shipments growth in 2008, with shipments of Eee PCs expected to surpass five million units, despite component shortages and rising cost concerns, according to company president Jerry Shen speaking during a June 11 investors conference.

Shen projected Asustek will ship a total of 6.6 million notebooks (excluding Eee PCs) in 2008, up from 4.3 million units in 2007. Despite more rivals introducing low-cost PCs, Shen is confident that Asustek will ship over five million Eee PCs this year.

Do you have the specs on that? I've been wanting one since they came out, but decided to wait until a few gens in.

I like the form factor and also the fact it is a fully functioning unit for the web. I would like one as well as long as connecting to a WWAN is easily accomplished since WIFI on the road isn't yet a reality.

My only complaint is the screen size. If the screen was a little larger (filled the area) and was a little higher in resolution I would get one. It is nice to see some competition coming soon from DELL and already from HP. Eventually there will be a 'netbook' that has all the features I want w/ the formfactor.
