Netbook Reviews

Very rarely these days does a manufacturer get the chance to officially announce and uncover a new product. They are normally beaten to the chance by documents available via the FCC, their own support pages, or even else where hidden on their official sites.

In this case of the Asus Eee PC 1201X and 1201K these product names have been dug up from one of Asus’ own webstorage site.

The Asus Eee PC T101MT touchscreen convertible netbook (aka netvertible) is now available in the US for $499.

The 10.1-inch netbook looks like an ordinary netbook, but has a display which can be rotated around and folded down onto the keyboard, to be used as a tablet.

Asus have announced their latest Eee PC netbook, the Asus Eee PC 1001PX to the market.

While we’re a big fan of Asus’ seashell design netbooks, we do hate the all over gloss than many feature, which quickly turn into fingerprint magnets, which clearly don’t look quiet as nice.

We were pleased to see the latest version of the 1005PE announced, the 100PE-PU27 which has a non gloss, soft touch lid. Asus have now taken this even further with the Asus Eee PC 1001PX, which has a non gloss carbon fiber-like finish and matte screen.

Information about Asus’ upcoming laptops have been published in their very own Asus World Magazine.

While the majority of new laptops are of no interest to this site, we are interesting in the Asus UL20AT 12-inch thin and light ultra portable laptop.

The new CULV (consumer ultra low voltage) notebook looks and is very similar to the already available UL20A, but has been updated offering a few new features.

Asus UK are officially launching their Karim Rashid Eee PC Seashell 1008P collection this weekend in London.

While looking through the press photos of the Asus Eee PC 1008P I noticed a set of photos I haven’t seen before.

As if the 1008P-KR didn’t look great enough as it did, it seems that Asus have an official accessory range to go along with the netbook.

It appears that Asus have taken note of users complaining about their all over gloss finished netbooks which act as fingerprint magnets. They have just released a new version of the popular Asus Eee PC 1005PE, which has a new non gloss finish, know as the Asus 1005PE-PU27-BK.

The Asus 1005PE is a great netbook, no doubt about that, you can read my review here.

The Asus Eee PC 1008P-KR is one of the latest Eee PC netbooks from Asus featuring the newest Intel Atom N450 processor. It’s their top of the range 10-inch Eee PC, which builds on the 1008HA from last year and features a very impressive and unique design from Karim Rashid.

I must admit when I first saw the press photos of the Asus 1008P-KR with its unusual design, I wasn’t overly impressed, but this view has completely changed around 180 degrees since getting my hands on it. In person it looks and feels great (both closed and open) and has extremely high build quality throughout.

It looks like the WiMAX equipped Asus Eee PC 1005PEG could be coming our way very soon.

The Asus 1005PEG first broke cover back in January at this years CES, but very recently it has just passed through the FCC for approval, so it’s a good sign that we should see the 1005PEG quite soon.

The Asus Eee PC 1005PE and the Samsung N210 are two of the most popular netbooks on the market today.

In many ways they are very similar, they both have a 10.1-inch LCD with a 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and are powered by the Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor.

I have reviewed both the Samsung N210 and the Asus Eee PC 1005PE separately, but as I had both at the same time I thought it would be useful to make a comparison of the two.

The Asus EB1007 is the latest nettop, or Eee Box as Asus likes to call them.

It looks very similar to many of the previously released Eee Box’s over the last year or so, but the Asus Eee Box EB1007 makes use of the new ultra energy efficient Pineview Atom processor.

It features either the new single core 1.66GHz Intel Atom D410, or the new dual core D510 1.66Ghz processor.
