The tablet Asus Eee Transformer Pad celebrates its success surpassing the 400,000 units shipped per month, at least according to the report released by DigiTimes. In addition to large numbers, sources close to the production of touchscreen Asus reveals that in the coming months, the deliveries will grow again, reaching 500,000 units delivered per month. The hope Asus was precisely to increase the production and delivery of tablet (all models, not only the transformer), reaching 4 / 5 million units in the second half of 2011.
Analysts J.P. Morgan Chase believe that sales are slowing up of the Transformer to the saturation of some channels, but the volume of production suggests otherwise. For the uninitiated, the Eee Transformer Pad is a 10.1-inch convertible tablet running Android 3.1 Honeycomb, Tegra 2 dual-core processor and a dock with a full keyboard that turns it into a notebook.
The latest is the home GScreen Spacebook 17. As the name suggests, this notebook is equipped with 17-inch screen. In fact, screens: has two, like all Spacebook (there are also previous versions, with two 15.2-inch monitor). The solution of the dual-monitor does not favor a certain lightness and portability: over four pounds, five centimeters thick good (when you close the slide monitors, one behind the other), do not invite you to take him under your umbrella.
The product, among other things, is not exactly cheap, ranging from $ 2395 to 2795. But paradoxically, it is better to spend 2795, given the considerable difference in hardware between the two machines. With the same size monitor and, in fact, the first has an Intel i5 and four GB of RAM, while the second has a i7 with eight gigabytes.
Same as the rest of the configuration: 500 GB HD, GeForce GTS 250M video card with a gig of dedicated memory. Particularly interesting: GScreen not provide data on battery life. Considering all factors, the only reasonable use of a “portable” is to kind of graphics workstations (especially audio-video) transport, which makes you want to choose the i7 processor and more RAM. Or, if you prefer, you can relegate to the luxury gadgets.
Samsung NC215S, the netbook with attached solar panel that was for pre-order through Amazon. Samsung was willing to throw in these days of July, but the date was postponed to August.

The Asus tablet could become major competitors in a market already crowded, but the chronic lack of supply has affected the delivery of the company with respect to the Android as tablet Eee Pad Transformer. According to Digitimes, the deliveries of the terminal during the summer will go from 1.2 million units to 1.5 million, with further increases expected in the fall. The idea is to go to Asus 4/4.5 million handsets delivered in the last six months of 2011. Initially the company expected to deliver two million tablets at most throughout the year, but it seems that the increase in revenue of 51.7% during the month of June Pegatron be attributed to sales of tablet Asus, much higher than the expected. The increase in deliveries probably includes other new models like the Asus el’Eee MeMo Pad Slider with Android.
Nomura’s analysts believe that Asus is a big competitor and that growth next year could humiliate the performance of tablet Motorola and RIM.
