Last week, ASUS announced a new netbook called the ASUS Eee PC 1215N. The new netbook has a 12 inch screen, a 1.8GHz dial-core Atom D525 CPU and will be based around the Ion 2 platform.
At the time of writing last week there were no release dates or prices known. We now hear that the new ASUS netbook will ship on August 23 and have a price tag around the $500 mark although the price isn’t confirmed just yet.
Regarding the technical specs, the ION 2 graphics processor allows for 1080p video to be played back without issue. [Read more…]
We heard yesterday that Google [GOOG] was planning on launching Chrome OS this fall. When launched the OS will be made available as a download.
We also learn today that the first Chrome OS netbook will also be available also in the fall. News is VERY sketchy at the moment though. The information doesn’t come as a big surprise though as we already know Google has detailed the requirements for a Chrome OS netbook. The big question is who will be the first. Digitimes believes Acer will be first to launch a Google Chrome OS netbook in the fall. We had heard rumours just a few weeks back that Acer would be showing off the first Chrome OS netbook at Computex this week, but Acer responded saying it was incorrect information. [Read more…]
The Asus Eee PC 701 is a netbook that launched a couple of years ago. It had a 7 inch screen when launched and kick started the netbook scene to what it is today.
This particular Asus Eee 701 has been modded and changed in to a tablet form factor. The guy responsible goes by the name of McG and took the Eee apart, made a few modifications inside and put it back together.
Since everything did work well, he went ahead and began to use it for the function it was originally designed for: to read eBooks, watching movies made by DVD Shrink, and to use as a portable media player. In case you would want to mod your EeePC, you could also choose better Touchscreen drivers with 90 deg, 180 deg and 270 orientations.
ASUS has announced two new netbooks called the ASUS Eee 1015P and the 1015PE. Each are fairly standard netbooks running the usual Intel Atom N450 processor. The screens on each device measure 10.1 inches and are backlit by LED. The resolution is 1024×600 pixels.
What makes the ASUS Eee 10015P/PE stand-out most though is the impressive 13.5 hour battery life that each model can achieve. Of course the tests that get 13.5 hours will be fairly easy going, but what a 13.5 hour battery life on an easy run means that with WiFi, full brightness and intensive applications you should still get a good 10 hours of usage on a single charge.
Each of the netbooks run Windows 7 Starter for the OS and both netbooks can connect up to Eee storage for an extra 500GB to store files on-line. [Read more…]
We first heard of the ASUS Eee 1215N a few weeks back where only a few details were known such as it running an Intel Atom N500 dual-core processor along with an ION GPU and NVIDIA Optimus. The dual-core N500 CPU will run at 1.5GHz.
We are now hearing a few more details about this 12 inch netbook/notepad that show it will have automatic graphics switching along with a full HD output of 1080p.
By using automatic switching it allows the netbook to increase graphics capabilities on the fly and as and when needed and then pull back to conserve power when the requirements on-screen are less. [Read more…]
ASUS are always creating new netbooks in their Eee range. Some we know about that are coming soon include the ASUS Eee 1015, 1215 and 1218 although we haven’t heard anything on pricing till now.
From what we hear these particular netbooks are heading to Taiwan and will have prices ranging from $478 to $605 USD. The higher than average prices are due to what is found inside each of these netbooks.
The latter two netbooks (ASUS 1215 and ASUS 1218) are both 12 inch screened devices which pushes them in to notebook territory. Each has next-gen NVIDIA ION graphics. The smaller 10 inch screen model (the ASUS 1015) is also believed to run NVIDIA ION graphics although from what we hear, it will run a less capable version of the ION platform. [Read more…]
ASUS announced that the ASUS Eee PC 1005PR netbook is now available to buy from authorised resellers.
The ASUS 1005PR is a 10.1 inch netbook that has a battery life of 11 hours. It runs an Intel Atom N450 processor running at 1.66GHz. The 10.1 inch screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and is backlit by LED. Intel UMA graphics along with a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator provide the power to run the graphics.
Memory wise it comes standard with 1GB of DDR2 memory and that can be increased to 2GB if required. For storage it has a 250GB hard drive that spins at 5400RPM and ASUS also provide up to 500GB of online storage for you to use if needed. [Read more…]
ASUS are launching another netbook. This wont come as a surprise as we tend to mention several new models each month from their Eee range.
The next one being released is believed to be the ASUS Eee 1015P. It has just passed FCC approval meaning we could be seeing it within the next month or so.
We first heard of the Eee 1015P back in February with some leaked information saying it would run an Intel Atom N450 processor and have Wireless 802.11n for connectivity. The keyboard is chiclet style. [Read more…]
Digitimes are reporting today that the ASUS EeePad is to be announced at Computex 2010 that will be running between June 1 and 5. What we are also hearing is that the EeePad could launch as early as July this year.
The ASUS EeePad has been described as a challenge to the Apple iPad by bringing features such as a webcam, USB ports as well as Adobe flash.
As for the impact of tablet PC, Shih expects the device reduce overall netbook demand by 10-2%. The company is also monitoring the tablet PC and e-book reader markets closely to prevent related products stepping into each other’s demand and will maintain flexibility to launch products that suit the fast-changing market demand.
The ASUS Eee PC 1018P was first reported back towards the end of February along with two other models, the 1015p and 1016p. Since then we haven’t heard much until now where some, what are believed to be exclusive, pictures have been captured.
The pictures show off the ASUS 1018p model. This particular model will run either Intel N455 or N475 processors, have Bluetooth connectivity and USB 3.0 connectivity too along with 10 hours of battery life. Recently, ASUS made the decision to embrace the USB 3.0 standard by including the port on all products. The 1018p is amongst the first to receive the USB 3.0 port as standard. The USB 3.0 ports can be seen on the right side of the netbook (pictured below) and are in the usual bright blue colour that indicates the USB 3.0 connectivity. [Read more…]
