Förutom att nästan alla netbooks på marknaden använder sig av Intels Atom-processorer har det varit genomgående att tillverkarna även slopat den optiska enheten i dessa datorer. Detta för att både dra ner på kostnader och utrymmeskrav. Nu har ASUS lanserat den första Eee PCn med en Super-Multi optisk enhet som stödjer både läsning och skrivning av CD/DVD. ASUS Eee PC 1004DN heter den nya modellen som skeppas med den något trimmade Atom N280 processorn samt Intels GN40 styrkrets med en integrerad GMA 4500M grafikkrets.
