http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/eee-pc-logo-230.jpgRather than mongering yet another rumor, DigiTimes is apparently reporting as fact that an Ion 2-powered (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/asus-eeetop-et2010pnt-hints-that-nvidia-ion-2-is-geforce-g310/) Eee PC will launch in April. It's also expected to host a 12-inch display if we're reading this report correctly. That NVIDIA boost is welcome news since the Pine Trail (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pine%20trail)-only bump given to its Eee PC 1005PE (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/asus-eee-pc-1005pe-review/) didn't offer much in the way of performance improvements and still can't handle YouTube video in HD. While no direct prices were given, Atom N450-based Eees are expected to drop in price to NT$14,000 (about $439) in Q2 after ASUS depletes its stock of legacy N270- and N280-based Atom netbooks. DigiTimes also notes that its 10-inch Eee PC T101 convertible touchscreen tablet (the T101MT (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-revealed-by-the-fcc/) presumably) will launch in late February along with a 12-inch Eee PC (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/asus-shows-off-congo-ion-based-eee-pc-1201t-netbook/)built around AMD's Congo.ASUS' Ion 2-based Eee PC to launch in April (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/asus-ion-2-based-eee-pc-to-launch-in-april/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:50:00 EST.
