Asus has annouced the discontinuation of the 8.9 inch Eee PC and some more many vendors has started to pull down the current price in regards to stabilize their inventory.Many rumours has come that is about time for the this computer model to come to its end.
It is said that Intel and HP was having some talk for a mutual agreements so that Intel will have lower down their limitation of Atom processor selling distribution so that HP can use the netbook processor in a netbook with a larger panel in regards to the Digitimes reports that HP's '09 roadmap showed the corporation hoped to attach both an 11.6-inch model and a 13.3-inch model to its netbook line, with the 11.6-inch predicted sometime in Q2 '09 and the 13.3-inch in June ’09.
Is it the fact that PC giant vendors such HP starting to limit their distribution of small netbooks determine the low selling of such notebooks in market or less demand of it compare to other model as well? It will look like Intel Atom will have some problem in marketing and rebranding this processor to the a better level. While HP is keen to see the boundaries relieved thus it can create different prospect Atom-based netbooks, Intel is perhaps going to be a little suspicious of making the Atom available for anything larger than an 11-inch panel (the current restriction stands at a reported 10.2 inches, Dell Mini 12 aside). Intel has certain limitations on the Atom so as not to demise sales of their more classy CPUs. The Celeron or Pentium Dual Core will have to be a last resort for building a bigger than 10.2
