Netbook Reviews

Asus previously took the Eee PC 1005HA and added the recent Pine Trail Atom N450 processor creating the Asus Eee PC 1005P, now they had added a new HD display to it creating the Asus Eee PC 1005PR.

The Asus 1005PR looks identical to the 1005P / PE, announced earlier this year in terms of design and specifications, but instead of the standard 10.1-inch 1024 x 768 pixel LCD, the 1005PR has a higher resolution 1366 x 768 pixel (720p HD) 10.1-inch display.

ASUS Eee PC 1015P

The newly announced Asus 1015P and 1015PE netbooks are the two of the latest netbooks to join the Eee PC family.

They build on the Asus 1005PE (see my review here) and have a similar design, but now with a new matte / non gloss finish!

The biggest complaint about the previous model was it’s all gloss fingerprint magnet design, so it’s great to see a nice fingerprint resistant matte finish.

The Asus 1201PN looks very similar to the popular HD capable Asus Eee PC 1201N, but has been updated with the latest processor and “Next Generation Ion” (aka Ion 2) graphics card.

The Asus Eee PC 1201PN adds the letter “P” to it’s name, to symbolize the use of the new Intel Atom N450 1.66Ghz Pine Trail processor.

Update: The Asus 1201PN is now available and shipping! You can order from Amazon for just $484!

The Atom 330 has been swapped out for the new more energy efficient N450, along with the new Ion graphics.

CeBIT 2010, the worlds largest computer expo is now in full swing at Hanover Germany.

I was planning on attending myself, and even have the tickets, but unfortunately can’t make it this year, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be covering all the netbook news from CeBIT.

This page will constantly be updated with CeBIT netbook news and information during the event.  Click below to view all the new netbooks and details.

The new products from Asus are coming in thick and fast ahead of CeBIT 2010, and the Asus Eee PC 1016P has grabbed a vast amount of attention.

While at first glance looking similar to the newly announced Asus 1018P, the Asus 1016P aluminum clad netbook packs a few extras.

Even though CeBIT in Hanover doesn’t officially kick off until tomorrow, a number of impressive netbooks have already appeared.

The most impressive of all is the all aluminum chassis Asus Eee PC 1018P. This new netbook sits at the top of the Eee PC ranks and as such has the “Eee PC Prime” logo at the top left of the screen.

The best selling, most popular netbook of 2009 was almost without question, the Asus Eee PC 1005HA. And while it was released last year it still remains a very popular netbook today.

Now Asus is back with the Asus Eee PC 1005PE (and 1005P) netbook. Asus have taken the 1005HA and improved it for 2010 by using the latest generation Intel Atom N450 processor. They have kept the same winning “Seashell” design for the Asus 1005PE, but it’s new, more energy efficient hardware is easier on the battery, leading to even longer run times.

Shuttle have been making ultra-compact PC for many years, before the words netbook and nettop even took off.

They have now announced their latest ultra compact and thin nettop to the world. The Shuttle Barebone XS35 is just 3.3cm thin, and is HD compatible.

The Shuttle XS35 is made even more interesting by the use of the new Pineview Intel Atom D510 dual core processor (1.66GHz x2), and the much talked about “Next Generation Ion” or the NVIDIA GT218 (ION2) as Shuttle are calling it.

With CeBIT kicking off at the start of next month we can expect to see a number of fresh netbooks announced. It looks like the LG X140 is one of these new netbooks.

While it hasn’t been officially announced just yet, a the X140 has been photographed and a number of it’s details reveled.

The Samsung N210 is one of the latest 10.1-inch netbooks announced by Samsung at the start of this year. Like the majority of the new netbooks this year it uses the new Intel Atom N450 processor, which while it doesn’t offer any performance boosts, it has a lower power consumption, offering longer battery life.

The N210 model comes above the N150 / NB30 models, and features a longer 11.2 hours of run time. It is identical to the slightly more expensive N220 models, with the N220 models having a colored lid (Red / Black, or Green / Black), as opposed to a black / white only.
