August 12th, 2010 Tanya No comments

When I initially did a hands on with the ASUS Eee 1015PN 10-inch netbook a couple of months ago at Computex 2010, I had confused it with the Eee PC 1015N. Both are identical and have next generation ION graphics with Nvidia Optimus however while the 1015N has a dual core Atom N550 processor while the 1015PN has a single core Atom processor. The dual core Atom N550, and the 1015N are both still a while away however the 1015PN is coming soon – it has been spotted up for pre-order in France with a price tag of 399 euros and a stocking period of within 30 days.

The ASUS Eee PC 1015PN has a 10.1″ 1024 x 600 display, Atom N475 processor, GMA 3150 graphics, next generation ION graphics (16-core, 512MB RAM), 1GB DDR3 RAM, 2.5″ 250GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n Wi-FI, 10/100 LAN, stereo speakers, mic, 0.3MP webcam, 6-cell battery (4,400 mAh or 5,200 mAh) and Windows 7 Starter + Express Gate OS.

For ports: 3x USB 2.0, audio jacks, VGA, HDMI and LAN. Weighs 1.38kg or 1.27kg.

The store listing and the fact that Blogeee has some official looking pictures means we should be seeing the Eee PC 1015PN very soon. No official word in other countries just yet.

August 10th, 2010 Tanya No comments

Well, it looks like HP is no longer your only option to get Boston-Power’s “game-changing” Sonata  batteries — ASUS has just announced that it will be offering the long-life lithium-ion batteries as standard equipment on its new B series laptops. Those come in both 14.1-inch and 15.6-inch versions — the B43 and B53, respectively — and are available with your choice of Core i5 or Core i7 processors, ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 or integrated Intel graphics, 2GB or 4GB of RAM, a standard 320GB hard drive, and ATI Eyefinity  support to accommodate two additional displays. As for those Sonata batteries, while they won’t last much longer in day-to-day use, they do promises to work at 80% of their capacity for three years, which is backed up by a three-year warranty. Look for the B53 to hit retailers immediately starting at $1,099, while the B43 is said to be coming “in the near future” for an unspecified price.

July 30th, 2010 Tanya No comments

Asus has posted a product page for the Eee PC 1015PD. This new 10 inch netbook model comes with either a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 or 1.83GHz Intel Atom N475 processor, GMA 3150 graphics, and 1 to 2GB of DDR3 memory.

The netbook will be available with a 160GB, 250GB, or 320GB hard drive, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0. There are four battery options, which will vary by configuration:

  • 3 cell, 23Whr
  • 6 cell, 48Whr
  • 6 cell, 56Whr
  • 6 cell, 63Whr

Asus says those batteries should be good for between 4.5 and 13 hours of run time, although manufacturer’s battery life estimates are usually only good in best case scenarios.

And that’s about it for the impressive specs. From here on out, we’ve only got standard netbook fare, including a 0.3MP webcam, 1024 x 600 pixel display, VGA output, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port, mic and headphone jacks, and a SDHC card slot.
