While Asus hasn’t even officially announced its upcoming Eee PC 1015PEM netbook that we reported on yesterday , but sometime this morning, an official product page went live … Don’t bother clicking though, since it’s already disappeared again. Luckily, Notebook Italia caught a glimpse of the page before it disappeared. There’s an addition of the new 1.5GHz Intel Atom Dual Core N550 processor, support for DDR3 memory, Bluetooth 3.0, and USB 3.0. Asus will apparently offer three different battery options, including a 48Whr, 56Whr, and 63Whr hour battery, which the company claims should be good for up to 10, 11, or 13 hours of run time, respectively. Like most other Eee PC models, the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM will have a 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of memory, and run Windows 7 Starter Edition.

New Asus Eee PC 1015PEM gets an official product page
The folks at Netbook News.de spotted a service manual for the HP Mini 5103 which mentions that this netbook will also be available with Intel’s brand new dual core 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 processor . That makes sense, since Intel recently announced that the chip would be available in a number of netbooks including models from HP, Asus , Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, and others. The rest of the specs for the new HP Mini 5103 appear to be unchanged.

Earlier this week Intel announced a 1.5GHz dual core Atom N550 processor . Since then, tons of new netbooks sporting the new chipset coming out of the woodwork. One of them is the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM. Tech In Style reports that the Eee PC 1015PEM will support up to 2GB of DDR3 memory and be able to handle 720p HD video playback. The netbook will be available in red, black, white, and pink colors and should ship for about 349 Euros in Europe. That’s just over $440 US, but PC prices have a way of falling a bit once they hit US shores. via Netbook Italia

New Asus Eee PC 1015PEM adds new Dual Core Atom N550 Processor
Australian e-tailer Pena.au has 10.1-inch netbooks from both Gigabyte and Lenovo listed on its site with the fresh 1.5GHz Atom N550 processor. The Gigabyte T1005M convertible — or netvertible, as we like to call it — is much like the T1000, and still has a 1,366×768 pixel capacitive touch display, USB 3.0 ports, and an eSATA jack. It sounds like a pretty impressive little system but at $905 AUD (that’s about $800 US), the price is a bit steep too. There’s also the more affordable have the N550-powered Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 to choose from as well — although that too is listed for a pricey $699 Australian (about $617 US). We’re assuming the dual-core CPU adds about $50 to $75 to the average single-core netbook selling price, but here’s hoping that the prices are a bit lower once they hit this side of the hemisphere.

AMD’s new low power, moderate performance chips feature in the new Acer Aspire One 521 and Dell Inspiron M101z.  But, AMD is not content to leave it there.  Today AMD unveiled new details about its upcoming Bobcat platform for small, low power devices such as netbooks, nettops, and tablets. The new Bobcat is the processor core that will show up in the Ontario chips due out in early 2011. AMD says Bobcat is capable of operating on less than a watt of energy, but it’s an x86 processor with out0of-order execution, which means it should be more than capable of powering Windows and other complex operating systems. The Bobcat core offers 90% of the power you expect from a mainstream chip today, while using less than half the silicon area. Ontario chips will combine the Bobcat CPU with a graphics processor and high speed bus to offer a complete chipset. No word yet on how the AMD Bobcat chops will compare  to the goliath on the block – namely Intel with their Intel’s Atom  and ULV platforms.  By the time these new chips are released early next year Intel will likely have launched its next-generation Oak Trail platform for mobile devices.  Likely provding stiff competition.

Dell is now offering a new version of the Inspiron Mini 10 netbook in Europe, and the UK as well. For the most part, the new Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 looks a lot like the Mini 10 But there are a few subtle differences: The touchpad now appears to have separate left and right buttons instead of integrated buttons. The 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU has been replaced with a 1.66GHz Atom N455 chip (with support for DDR3 memory). The entire netbook is now one color instead of two. The rest of the specs are pretty much the same, which means you’re looking at a netbook with a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, and Windows 7 Starter Edition. It’s available for 279 Pounds directly at Dell UK. via MyDellMini

Acer’s latest in the ‘Acer Aspire One’ series is the recently launched Acer Aspire One D255 . This new netbook runs both Windows and Google Android. Sascha from Netbook News.de managed to pick one up in Taiwan recently and made the unboxing video (above) for our viewing pleasure. The netbook runs about $289 in Taiwain and comes with 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, and Windows XP as well as Android. In order to boot Google Android, you’ll need to first launch Windows and run a utility to configure the computer to boot Android. Once you do manage to get into Android, you’ll notice that Acer has configured the operating system to use a mouse cursor — something which most Android devices don’t need.

Liliputing grabbed one of HP’s new netbooks – the HP Mini 210HD and took it for a spin. The model they got has a 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor and integrated GMA 3150 graphics. It has 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth and runs Windows 7 Starter Edition. That exact model isn’t available (yet?) in the UK, but you can the standard model HP Mini 210 starting at just £240 shipped. Some of Brad’s observations: - The touchpad and keyboard can take a little getting used to. – Base model ships with a 3 cell battery which doesn’t provide the same kind of run time I’ve come to expect from other netbooks. – Well priced, starting at just £240 shipped. Check out the full review at Liliputing here, or the take-apart video and first look here .
