Is Apple readying an Eee PC sub-notebook rival for 2009?

Posted by Katherine Hannaford on Fri 8 Aug 2008

Industry analysts say "yes", as ASUS screams "no"

Wouldn't it be great if Apple were to release a sub-notebook? Sure, ASUS might not be happy, as it will be in direct competition with their popular Eee PC, however they can't exactly stop Apple from launching an affordable laptop that measures under 10-inches in size. We hope.

Still, it's only just a rumour for now, with an analyst at UBS Investment Research, Maynard Um, claiming Apple was initially going to announce it this year however it's looking more likely to debut next year, possibly at MacWorld in January.

What can we expect from an Apple logofied netbook? Chances are it'll be around 8.9-inches in size; white; have about 4GB of internal storage and cost around £400-£500.

This rumour is nonsense, Steve Jobs already said during WWDC '08 that Apple would not compromise on screen/keyboard size which lead to the 13.3" Macbook Air so 10.6" sub-notebook has no chance.
