With Windows 7 set to launch in just a week, we’re about to see a whole lot of netbooks, notebooks, and other computers get a spec bump. And the Asus Eee PC lineup is hardly exempt. At an event in Germany, Asus officials outlined some of the company’s plans for the next generation of the Asus Eee PC Seashell line, including the Eee PC 1005HA, 1008HA, and 1101HA.

For the most part, the info is in keeping with a leaked product roadmap from earlier this year. But here’s the interesting part. Most of the netbooks will ship with Windows 7 Starter Edition, while the Eee PC 1101HA with an 11.6 inch display, 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 260GB hard drive will ship with Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Asus Eee PC 1005HA will be available in two different versions. Both will have 1GB of RAM, 250G hard drives, and Intel Atom N270 processors. The 1005HA-H will have Bluetooth and a 10.5 hour battery, while the 1005HA-M will lack Bluetooth and include an 8.5 hour battery.

The Eee PC 1008HA will have 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, an Atom N280 processor and a 6 hour battery.

When Dell first announced the Inspiron Mini 10 netbook at CES, the company promised that it would be available with options including an internal TV tuner, GPS receiver, and high resolution display. But so far the only premium feature to materialize is that higher resolution 1366 x 768 pixel display.

But Sascha at Netbook News.de got his hands on what appears to be a leaked product roadmap for Dell’s Inspiron Mini netbook lineup. And it includes some interesting info about potential upgrades for the Mini 10, as well as hints of a new model with an 11.6 inch display.

It looks like Inspiron Mini 10 customers will soon be able to customize the laptop with up to 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, Ubuntu Linux, and a 1.86GHz Intel Atom processor. If the product sheets are correct, it looks like customers will also have a choice between the Intel Atom N270, Z520, and Z530 processors on some Mini 10 models. The base price of the cheapest Mini 10 will be just $329. I’m guessing that will be for a netbook with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 512MB of RAM and Ubuntu.
