If you're an Asus Eee fan, here's four new models to feast your eyes on.

The biggest model is the 1000HD XP which has a 10-inch display.

Boasting 8.9-inch screens are the 904HD XP, 901 XP and 900 XP (16GB) delivering resolutions of 1024 x 600 resolution.

The 901 XP is built around the Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, while Asus just says that the other three have an Intel Mobile CPU.

All of the new launches have 1GB of RAM, Ethernet jacks and offer 802.11b/g WLAN but the Eee PC 901 XP adds draft-N WLAN.

This model, and the 1000HD XP, also offer Bluetooth connectivity.

Memory wise for the 8.9-inch models - the 904HD XP has an 80GB SATA HDD, the 901 XP will ship with a 12GB SSD, and the 900 XP gets a 16GB SSD.

And, as their names suggest, all will run Microsoft Windows XP Home.

But they're only going to be available in Taiwan for the time being.

Prices range from $447 for the 900 XP, $479 for the 904HD XP and $542 for the 901 XP and 1000HD XP.
