High Spec Asus Eee PC 1005PE-H Shows up in France

by admin on February 7, 2010

Via Blogeee we find that a French retailer called ‘fnac; has posted a new product page for a new Asus netbook called the Eee PC 1005PE-H. It looks identical to the  Asus Eee PC 1005PE sharing the same design, keyboard, and N450 processor, but this new Eee PC 1005PE-H comes with more RAM and a bigger hard drive and ships with Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Windows 7 Starter Edition.  So far it’s only been spotted in France, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all if this makes it to UK and US markets. We’re very happy to see netbook specs creeping up in off-the-shelf models. Here’s the full specs for the new 1005PE-H. CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 Display: 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels RAM: 2GB Storage: 320GB hard drive OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernet I/O: 3x USB, SD card reader, mic, headphone Battery: 6 cell, 4400mAh Dimensions: 10.3″ x 7″ x 1.4″ Fnac is charging 349 Euros for the Eee PC 1005PE-H, whichi s the equivalent of $476 US, although European prices tend to be higher than prices in the US. via  Blogeee

[Review] Asus Eee PC 1008P

by admin on February 6, 2010

Finding that netbooks are all starting to look alike?  Well, Asus apparently thought the same and decided to hire leading industrial designer like Karim Rashid to design the new 1008p for them.  The 1008P is a mixed bag of specs — it has got the new netbook standard Intel Atom N450 processor, boasts 2GB of RAM and larger than usual 320GB hard drive, and a suprisingly small three-cell battery. US pricing has been revealed, and it looks like it will command a $100 premium over most netbooks.  So, how does it stack up?  And how long does that 3 cell battery last?  Read past the break to find out. The Eee PC 1008P is thinner than most netbooks, and its 1-inch thick chassis is the same as the as the current 1008HA.   That means, that like int the 1008HA, all the ports are hidden behind teeny doors. There’s a mini VGA port on the left hand side, and the VGA adapter pops out of the bottom of the netbook. Pretty cool trick, but it’s fiddly and time consuming to fit it back into palce when you’re done with it.  The rest of the standard netbook ports are laid out along the edges, though the 1008P only has two USB ports rather than the typical three. PCMark05 3DMark06 Battery Life ASUS Eee PC 1008P (Pine Trail, 2GB RAM) 1531 152 3:20 ASUS Eee PC 1005PE (Pine Trail) 1431 157 8:10 Toshiba Mini NB305 (Pine Trail) 1272 156 6:30 ASUS Eee PC 1201N (Dual core Atom, Nvidia Ion) 2208 1555 2:26 Unfortunately, we think we have to add the 1008P to the list of laptops that suffer from performance issues at the expense of better design, like the HP Envy and Dell Adamo. While we love the textured chassis (in brown!) and think it’s one good looking netbook, we can’t justify paying more for less battery life. If we’re going to pay $499 for a netbook, we’d take the Ion-equipped Eee PC 1201N that has comparable battery life to the 1008P, but much better gaming and HD performance. That’s not to say the 1008P isn’t perfect for those that are all about netbook beauty, but we’re just doubtful that’s the case for many people, and thus we don’t see why you wouldn’t go with a cheaper option like the 1005PE with its eight hours of battery life.

LG X20 Pinetrail Netbook Passes Through the FCC

by admin on February 4, 2010

Wireless Goodness turned up this entry at the FCC today.  It’s a new Pinetrail netbook from LG to be called the X20.  The rounded design is somewhat unusual, and reminds me a bit of a Smartbook, but the hardware on this new mini-laptop is certainly netbook all the way.  It comes with a hi-res 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1to 2GB of memory, and a 2.5 inch hard drive (most likely 250gb).  Further to that, it should also include WiFi, Bluetooth, a 1.3MP webcam, and an optional HSPA 3G modem.  4 or 6 cell battery options are available, with the netbook weighing 2.6lbs with the 4 cell. Perusing the manual also reveals that certain models with support multitouch on the trackpad, although it’s a shame to see that the trackpad has only one button. The laptop has a high resolution 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1to 2GB of memory, and a 2.5 inch hard drive. It comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, a 1.3MP webcam, and an optional HSPA 3G modem. According to the user manual, some models will support multitouch gestures on the touchpad, while others may not. 4 and 6 cell battery options are available. With a 4 cell battery, the laptop weighs about 2.6 pounds. LG hinted the X20 would launch in February at CES 2010, so expect to see it any day now.
