Asus to sell cheap 7-inch solid state laptops

The Taipei Times said the models will have seven inch screens using AU Optronics flat panels, and Intel's Solid State Disk tech using flash memory and with capacities up to 40GB.

Intel said yesterday in Beijing that flash memory does become inefficient over a period of time, but if you consider the writes and re-writes, it is still a useable technology.

The introduction of the five notebooks isn't going to stop Asus from introducing more expensive and more functional notebooks, the report said.
