A whole lot of notebooks and netbooks are becoming available to pre-order with Windows 7 pre-installed - since the launch is this Thursday, October 22. So far you can check out HP's desktops here, notebooks here, and their Envy line-up here. If only I had around $2,000 USD to spend on the Envy 15.

The Dell Mini 10v netbook is available here and the Windows 7 Starter Edition costs an extra $30 USD. The Dell Inspiron 11z netbook is available here and the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium costs an extra $30 USD and it's $130 USD for Windows 7 Professional.

On Amazon Germany's website here, they are now taking pre-orders for the Asus Eee PC T91 tablet netbook for €506 ($754 USD).

On Amazon US' website you can check out the Toshiba Satellite T115, the Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T, and the AS1810TZ notebooks here, here, and here, respectively. They are also going for $479.99 USD, $599.99 USD, and $549.99 USD, respectively. All three of these notebooks come equipped with Intel ULV CPUs.

It looks like Asus could be announcing their first laptop with Nvidia's Ion graphics. If you check out this online Chinese retailer though, the Asus Eee PC 1201N netbook looks like it will have the power of Ion. This netbook was a part of Asus' leaked roadmap, so the netbook is likely real. Other specs include: a 12-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, an Ethernet / VGA port, audio jacks, and a 6-cell (5,200 mAh) battery.

We don't know when it will be available, but it's likely we'll see this netbook with Windows 7 on-board, which means at least another month. The product picture could be real, but it could be an existing 1101HA netbook, so just keep that in mind.

Like the Eee PC 1201N another netbook looks to be on the way. This one appears to be a variation of the Eee PC T91 netbook / tablet. The Eee PC T91MT will be sporting a multi-touchscreen display and will likely be available in late October / early November with Windows 7 pre-installed.

A new Asus Eee roadmap has just leaked out. You'll find the Asus Eee PC 1201N, 1005HA-P, and the 1005HA-M on here. All three of these laptops are expected to launch later this year.

The Asus Eee PC 1201N is expected to have: a 12-inch display, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270 CPU, a 250GB HDD, Nvidia Ion graphics, 2GB of RAM, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth support, and a 6-cell battery. This mini-notebook will run on Windows 7 and will retail for $499 USD.

The Asus Eee PC 1005HA-P is going to replace the current 1005HA-P series. It's expected to have: a 10.2-inch display, an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N280 CPU, a 250GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth support, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, and a 6-cell battery that will supposedly last 10.5 hours. This netbook will run on Windows 7 Starter Edition and will cost around $399 USD.

Last, but not least is the Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M, which will replace the Eee PC 1005HA-V. We actually heard about this netbook back in May so it's nothing entirely new. The 1005HA-M will have: a 10.2-inch display, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, a 6-cell battery that should last around 8.5 hours, and Windows 7 Starter Edition. This netbook doesn't look like it will have Bluetooth support and it will cost around $349 USD.

Update: According to Engadget, a multi-touch Asus Eee PC T91 tablet / netbook hybrid is on the way as well. This netbook will be running on Windows 7 and will have a 32GB SSD. It's expected to launch for $549 USD, but there is no specified release date yet.

The successor to the Asus Eee PC T91, the T101, looks like it has been delayed. Early reports pegged the release date to be "late August / early September" but now Asus has just mentioned that this netbook / tablet will be available in September at the earliest. This netbook has a 10-inch swiveling touchscreen display. For a full spec sheet on the Asus Eee T101, check out this link.

Everything you've heard about the Asus Eee PC T91 netbook / tablet is true. The July 15th release date stands and the $499 USD expected price tag also stands. You can check it out here on Amazon's official website. The Eee PC T91 has: an 8.9-inch resistive touchscreen display, an Intel Atom 1.33GHz Z520 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD, a 16GB SD card included in the box, and 20GB of Asus' online storage - for a limited time, I believe.

This model will not have 3G, GPS, a TV tuner, or multitouch, so that could be on the way soon - T91A / T91GO. Asus has already warned that the T91 will be in short supply, so if you really want to get one, get it quick! As an alternative, the Eee PC T101H should be released in a couple of weeks / months.

Update: Skeptical on buying this netbook tablet? Well, you can now check out Engadget and Slash Gear for their own reviews on the Asus Eee PC T91.

According to Asus North America's official Twitter account the Asus Eee PC T91 will be available in North America on July 15th!

"According to AsusTablet's source, the company plan the basic T91 with a single-touch screen, together with a multitouch-capable T91A and 3G-enabled T91GO." In addition to 3G, the Asus Eee PC T91GO will also have GPS and a digital TV tuner. This model will also only weigh 0.06kg more than the original T91 netbook. The [resistive] multitouch Asus Eee PC T91A will be available later this year and will ship with Windows 7. The original specs of the T91 include: an 8.9-inch touchscreen display, an Intel Atom 1.33GHz N520 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 16GB SSD. With every purchase of the T91, you will also get a 16GB SD card in the box. The prices and availability have not been mentioned yet.

This could be a lengthy post, but I'll try to shorten it as much as I can. Sit tight!

First up is the Asus Eee PC T91. If you remember, the T91 has: an 8.9-inch resistive touchscreen display, an Intel Atom 1.33GHz Z520 CPU, up to 2GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD, and will run on Windows XP Home. This baby is going to start shipping today! Keep an eye out for it.

Next up, it's the Asus Eee PC 1101HA netbook. It has: an 11.6-inch display, an Intel Atom 1.33GHz Z520 CPU, Intel's GMA graphics, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB HDD. It will start shipping in Europe by the end of the month for €399 ($520 USD). It will be bundled with Windows XP and will be available in black or white. The 1101HGo is the 3G capable model of the 1101HA, but there has been no word on when it will be available.

Last, but not least, it's the Asus Eee Keyboard PC. This time, it's rocking Moblin - Intel's Linux-based OS - instead of the traditional Windows XP that we've seen time and time again. The specs stay the same: an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 32 / 64GB of SSD storage, and possibly Wireless HDMI. The Keyboard PC is expected to launch by the end of the month for around $400 USD. There has been no word if the Moblin OS will be an option at launch. In the meantime, check out the video below for the Moblin demo.

Yes, that's right folks! The Eee PC T91 touchscreen netbook from Asus, that we heard about 10 days ago, has just been cleared by the FCC. The T91 has a non-removable battery, but there are some good news. Apparently, there could be an SSD option and the GPS could be replaced with 3G capabilities. Exciting stuff. Take a look at the link below to see more pictures from the FCC.

Here's another Asus netbook to look forward to - if you're into the whole netbook thing. The Asus Eee PC T91 is a netbook with a touchscreen display and it was seen back in January at CES. Asus has just revealed that it will be available in the UK in "late May or early June" for £449 ($675 USD). The spec sheet has not been confirmed yet, but it will definitely rock Intel's Atom CPU, but it's not specified which one - at CES it used the Z520. Other specs possibly include 1GB of RAM, optional GPS, and a TV tuner. Since it is a touchscreen netbook it will have Asus' Eee PC Touch UI. You can take a look at the demonstration of the UI below, thanks to Slash Gear.

Update of July 12th: Asus has officially announced that the Asus Eee PC T91 will be available on July 15th.
