Company Asus officially confirmed the release of Eee PC 1004DN, perhaps the most strange recently created notebook. While the largest computer equipment developers are working on cloud-computing SSD, and wireless transfer technology, Asus makes a very strange DVD-drive notebook.

Despite the fact that DVD is still the most common removable media, this technology is considered a very old one. Notebook is a carrier of the most developing technologies and trends in the computer culture, and the antediluvian optical drive. It also looks strange, because a notebook is a small compact device with minimal weight and energy consumption. Meanwhile, the DVD is the best way to turn off the battery in a very short period of time.

Nevertheless, Eee PC 1004DN will certainly find its buyer. It looks quite worthy: nice keyboard with “separate” keyboard buttons (like Eee PC 1000HE), neat 10-inch display, matt aluminum case. It can be considered a business-class notebook.
The Eee PC 1004DN has Intel Atom N280 CPU 1.66GHz processor, Intel GN40 chipset with integrated 2GB card GMA 4500M, up to 120GB HDD operational system, Bluetooth, WiFi N, Webcam 1.3MPiks embedded biometric scanner, and even slot ExpressCard.
Eee PC 1004DN weighs approximately half kilograms, along with the battery, which works up to 6 hours without recharging.
The price or release date of Asus Eee PC 1004DN has not been announced yet, most likely it will appear on the shelves by the end of the spring and it will cost approximately $ 600-700.
