asus eee pc 1005pe-pu27

When I wrote about the review of Asus Eee PC 1001P, I did a comparison of it with the Eee PC 1005PE and one of the good thing that I found on the 1001P which is not available on the 1005PE is that it has a textured lid which keeps smudges away and also makes it look more expensive than its price suggests. Well this point is no longer valid as Asus is bringing out an updated version of the Eee PC 1005PE which features a new case design with a painted textured lid much like the one found on the Eee PC 1001P.

This new model is called the Eee PC 1005PE-PU27. Other than the new external design, it has all the same internal components as the Eee PC 1005PE-PU17. You can pre-order it from Amazon now for $389.99. The specification for the Eee PC 1005PE-PU27 is as following:

  • 1.66GHz Intel N450 Atom Processor (512KB L2 Cache)
  • 1 GB DDR2 SODIMM memory, Max Capacity 2 GB
  • 250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM) + 500GB Free Web Storage
  • Chiclet Keyboard
  • 10.1-Inch Color-Shine 1024X600 WSVGA LCD Display
  • 802.11 b/g/n
  • 0.3MP Webcam
  • Windows 7 Starter
  • High Capacity 6 Cell Battery
