As you may have noticed, I’m not in Taiwan this week for the big Computex trade show. But a number of friends of the site including jkkmobile, Sascha Pallenberg, and Joanna Stern are there, and they can’t stop shooting videos of all the cool new toys.

So here’s a roundup of some of the best videos from the past 24 hours.

Hands on with the Asus Eee PC 1101HA (Laptop Magazine): The Asus Eee PC 1101HA is the first member of the Eee PC family to sport an 11.6, 1366 x 768 pixel display. And Laptop Magazine’s Joanna Stern shot one of the first videos I’ve seen of this laptop with a 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z520 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 160GB hard drive. Unfortunately, Laptop Magazine’s videos aren’t embeddable, so you’ll have to hop on over to their page to watch this video. One thing worth noting is that the Eee PC 1101HA seems to have the same keyboard as early Eee PC netbooks with a small right shift key awkwardly positioned so that touch typists will probably hit the up arrow when you want to hit shift.

Hands on with Pixel Qi’s new ePaper screen (jkkmobile): Sure, we already saw the first detailed video of Pixel Qi’s new 3qi display yesterday. But the dual mode ePaper/full color screen is amazing and worth another look. You can check out jkkmobile’s video hands-on after the break.

First look at the latest netbooks from ECS (NetbookNews.de): Sascha posted three different videos looking at the three latest netbooks from ECS. The T10IL, V10IL, and T20IL. The T20IL has an 11.6 inch screen and a CULV processor, while the other two models feature a more traditional netbook-like design with 10 inch screens and Intel Atom processors. You can find all three videos after the break.

ECS T10IL

It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from ECS, makers of the G10IL netbook. But ECS is preparing to show off 3 new models at Computex.

First up is the ECS T10IL, which weighs less than 1 kilogram (or about 2.2 pounds) and features a 10.1 inch display, 1.8″ hard drive or SSD, Bluetooth, WiFi, and and an HSUPA modem.

Next, we have the ECS V10IL which has a 10.1 or 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 2.5 inch 160GB hard drive, and an HSUPA modem. Bluetooth is optional.

Finally, the ECS T21IL is a larger model with an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display. It’ll sport an Intel Celeron based CULV processor instead of Intel Atom, but ECS is still aiming to keep this machine thin and light. It has a 1.8″ hard drive.
