ASUS Eee PC 1004DN - sales of the first netbook with a DVD-drive began

ASUS stirred up the development of netbooks as a class, which was somewhat stalled, starting sales of the Eee PC 1004DN model in Taiwan - the first ever netbook with a DVD-drive. The model was announced at the end of March, but got to the shelves just now.

The DVD drive is the only distinct feature of the new mini-laptop. Otherwise, its characteristics remained quite ordinary:

Processor: Intel Atom N280 1.6 GHz;
Memory: 1 GB;
Display: 10.2-inch;
Wireless communications: Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n;
Battery: up to 5.5 hours of battery life.

Introduction to the design of the drive is not the best way affected the price. The drive, of course, is beautiful, but in Taiwan the machine sells for about $ 610. Um ... IMHO - a little expensive.
