Netbook Reviews

Asus have just announced a new 12-inch netbook, the Asus Eee PC 1215P which will soon be available in Germany and Austria, and we hope the rest of Europe and the U.S at a later date.

The Asus 1215P is one of the first 12-inch netbooks to feature the new dual core Intel Atom N550 processor. What also makes the 1215P standout from the rest of the netbook crowd is that fact that it comes with 2GB of RAM, rather than the standard 1GB, and also comes with Windows 7 Professional Edition, rather than the Starter Edition.

When Asus were showing off all of their latest netbooks at the various trade shows the Asus Eee PC 1015PN was there.

But at the time I confused it with the similar looking and sounding Asus 1015N. The Asus 1015PN is a 10.1-inch netbook featuring the latest Intel Atom N475 N550 dual core processor with DDR3 RAM support and the next generation Nvidia ION graphics (ION 2) and Optimus technology.

Update: The single core N475 processor has been replaced by the new dual core Atom N550.

It looks like two new upcoming unannounced Asus netbooks have been uncovered checking in at the EnergyStar website.

Along with the newly announced dual core Asus 1015PEM powered netbook, it also listed the Asus Eee PC 1015PDG and Eee PC 1001PXD.

The EnergyStar website has become a constant source for finding unannounced netbooks as they have to check in there first to be tested for their Energy rating.

With Intel officially announcing the availability of their latest dual core Atom N550 processor to the world a few days ago, and stating that a number of netbooks are already available, Asus have just announced their Asus Eee PC 1015PEM netbook.

We have created a list of Atom N550 netbooks for your reference. The Asus 1015PEM is one of a few shipping out.

The very latest and appealing Asus Eee PC 1215N 12.1-inch netbook, has until now remained fairly elusive, with only a review of a test unit showing up recently.

But now the Asus 1215N has shown up for pre-order in the UK from Amazon for just £429. It also lists a release / shipping date of August 23rd.

Update: It’s now available and shipping in the UK!

As far as I’m aware, this is the first time it had shown for pre-order, and has yet to show in the U.S. But following this UK announcement, we’re sure it will follow suit very shortly.

Both the Black and Silver models of the Asus Eee PC 1215N are up for pre-order for £429.

The Asus Eee PC 1018P, 1015PE are two of the three new netbooks from Asus which sure did create a fuss when they were first unveiled. Ever since then many people have been keeping a keep eye on their release.

Now both the Asus Eee PC 1015PE and 1018P have been reviewed over at Engadget. While I hope to get my hands on both of these stylish netbooks very soon for my own review, we can share with you Engadget’s thoughts.

We have known that the Asus Eee PC 1015PD has been coming our way for a while now, since it first appeared on a number of official Asus web pages.

But the Asus Eee PC 1015PD has now been made official by Asus. They have posted up a product page for the 1015PD, along with a number of photos and its specifications.

As expected, it is a 10-inch netbook, which is powered by either the new Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz processor, or the Intel Atom N475 1.83GHz processor.

You might remember that towards the end of last year Asus announced the EeeBox EB1501. This EeeBox created quite a bit of attention as it was the worlds first nettop which could be mounted to the back of your LCD monitor or HDTV which features a built in DVD burner.

Now the latest version of the EB1501 is the Asus EeeBox EB1501P, and it looks like it should be coming our way very soon. It recently appeared (and then vanished) from the official Asus website, so it looks like the are prepping for a release.

The Asus 1016P is one of three new great looking netbooks to recently come our way.

It has been available to pre-order along with the 1018P for a little while now, but as of very recently it is now shipping out from Amazon!

As of the time this was written, third-party selling Electronica Direct are currently shipping the Asus Eee PC 1016P for $531.29.

The Asus Eee PC 1215N is one of the very latest 12.1-inch netbooks from Asus.

It is so new, it isn’t even available just yet, but that didn’t stop one website getting their hands on one for a review.

The 12-inch Asus 1215N is one of the most powerful netbooks coming our way. It features a dual core Intel Atom D525 processor (1.8GHz) along with the next generation Nvidia Ion 2 graphics. This combination gives it plenty of processing power and better multitasking support, and graphical power for HD playback and even some gaming.
