ASUS Eee PC 1005PE review

By our count ASUS has released -- at the very least -- 20 Eee PC netbooks since 2008. Some had 8.9-inch or 10-inch displays, some ran Xandros Linux or Windows...

Asus EeePC 1005PR

The Asus EeePC 1005PR combines a high resolution with a Broadcom HD chip, for good high definition experience in a small package.

Broadcom chip improves HD playback. High resolution. Big battery leads to great battery life. Easily accessible memory slots. Matted design prevents smudging.

Bigger keyboard would be nice. Mouse buttons are not click-friendly. No HDMI port.

Asus Eee PC 1005PR review

Now that Asus has a solid entry in the basic $299 category with the

Adds HD display and video playback to Asus' flagship Netbook; reasonably priced for a premium Netbook.

Streaming Flash video playback is still choppy; Eee PC touch pad is in need of a refresh.

A rare 10-inch system with an HD display, the Eee PC 1005PR also adds HD video playback hardware for a well-priced step-up Netbook experience.

Asus Eee PC 1005PE review: Asus Eee PC 1005PE

Asus Eee PC 1005PE

First Netbook with new Intel Atom N450 CPU; fantastic battery life.

Lacks modern Netbook upgrades such as HD display, extra RAM; only minor performance boost over previous versions.

As the first next-gen Intel Atom Netbook, Asus' Eee PC 1005PE offers amazing battery life, but otherwise feels like a last-gen system.

Review Asus Eee PC 1005PE Netbook

The Netbook Revolution!? Not yet officially released but already

Elegant Design; Chiclet keyboard; Price; Good workmanship and stability; Intel Atom N450 processor; Long battery life; Low power consumption; Matt display; Good operating velocity

Display hinges look small and instable; Average viewing angle stability; Low brightness; Missing multi-format cardreader; No HDMI-out; Poor loudspeakers

In terms of performance, all netbooks with Intel's Atom N280 processor and Intel's GMA 950 graphics (i.e.Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M, Lenovo IdeaPad S10/12, Acer Aspire One D150/D250/531). Otherwise, upcoming, equal netbooks based on Intel's Pine Trail with...

ASUS Eee PC 1005PE Review

The ASUS Eee PC 1005PE is the first 10.1-inch Intel Pine Trail netbook on the market featuring the Intel Atom 450 processor and Intel GMA 3150 integrated graphics. Claiming up to 50 percent better battery life than the previous generation, this model...

12 hours of battery life ; Good overall build quality ; Excellent thermal management

Asus G51J-3D Laptop and the Asus Eee PC 1005PE Netbook

Today we will look at two machines from Asus that live at opposite ends of the performance spectrum: the Asus G51J-3D laptop and the Asus Eee PC 1005PE netbook. One will satisfy the gamer in you, while the other aims to take care of your everyday...

To help with gaming performance, Asus loaded the G51J-3D with a powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M card to give excellent graphics support. Not so impressive is the battery life on the G51J-3D. Make sure you stay near an electrical outlet, as the...

ASUS Eee PC 1005PE Netbook with Intel Atom N450

We have our first look at the recently released Intel Atom N450, or Pineview, Netbook processor. The ASUS Eee PC 1005PE takes the same Eee PC Seashell design that has served ASUS well over the last year and adds in the latest Intel Atom platform for...

The ASUS Eee PC 1005PE uses the tried and true Seashell design with the new Intel Atom N450 processor to provide expected performance and outstanding battery life in a highly portable, affordable and compact package. It is because of this that we have...

Asus Eee PC 1005PE review

Fortunately, Asus got a lot of things right in the latest update. The laptop is thin and light, and while it gets stellar battery life, the battery doesn't jut too far out from the bottom of the laptop. The keyboard is very easy to use, and the...

Asus Eee PC1005PE, Atom N450 Pinetrail Launch

If you consider Intel's design execution over the past 12 months or so, you'd have to admit it's nothing short of impressive. Not only did we see the launch of a new desktop chip with the Core i7, but Intel then ramped up clock speeds, introduced...

Higher single core performance versus previous generation ; Lower power consumption ; Potentially lower cost model ; Sleek, well-built Eee PC ; 7hr demonstrated battery life

Lack-luster video playback ; Problems with some flash video streams ; Graphics still too low-end for even light duty 3D gaming

The new Intel Atom N450 and its netbook platform vehicle that we tested, the Asus Eee PC 1005PE, offered a stronger general computing experience versus Intel's legacy single-core Atom variants. This was easily seen in each and every one of our stock...
