Asus Makes the Eee PC 1004DN Official

Here you go folks, Asus officially announcing what we reported a couple of days ago about the Eee PC 1004DN. Yup, the first Eee PC, or better yet the first netbook with an Optical Drive.
Allow us to get into the details of these power-packed Eee PCs please. First we have it’s design which has a high-gloss UV LCD cover made of cutting-edge allows, lightweight frame, high-gloss bezel frames, aluminum plam rest and electroplated frame on the keyboard’s border. Certainly those words describes an elegant Eee PC, right?
Next, of course is the Super-Multi optical disc drive (ODD) which can read and write data to DVD or CD media. Add an Express Card expansion slot which is compatible with USB 2.0 and PCI Express and you have a versatile netbook indeed.
What else does the Eee PC 1004DN has in store for us? A multi-touch touchpad, a digital array microphone, 1.3 megapixel webcam, software suite featuring EzMessenger for synchronizing data and Eee Splendid for visualization and a font resizer for viewing documents more conveniently.
Finally we have an fingerprint log-on facility through Asus Data Security System which can also be used for encrypting file folders.
Lest we forget, this netbook baby can max out up to 5.9 hours of good usage.
