ASUS adds textured pattern 'wow-factor' to purported Eee PC 1001HA
Whenever an Eee PC roadmap leaks out, it's generally followed by a torrent of new machines that are just marginally different than the ones before. Granted, we've got Microsoft to thank for that, but it's still getting tougher by the day to keep all of these things from running together. Shortly after having a peek at the supposedly upcoming Eee PC 1201n comes this -- a smattering of hands-on shots of the purported Eee PC 1001HA. Slated to be available with Linux, Windows XP or no OS at all (saywha?), this here Eee could very well slot into the Seashell lineup given that bold pattern lathered on the chassis. Internally, you'll find the tired Atom N270, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and an ExpressCard-to-Zzzzzzz adapter. But hey, at least that 3-cell battery means you'll be computing for days on end, right?



















Zzzz adapter? the fuck?
Apparently he fell asleep trying to tell us about this netbook with is pretty lame even for a netbook. I see no possible reason to buy this with the 1201n coming out, unless your more into textured patterns then you are performance.
LMAO @ wow-factor. Good one Darren.
C'mon, you know, Zzzzzzz. Where have you been? IEEE announced that standard two weeks ago! You OBVIOUSLY don't read enough Engadget.
(Um, yeah, no, I don't know, either.)
1. First take eeepc case off
2. run over with lawn mower
3. take off OS
4. ???
5. Profit
you work for ASUS i take it?
Eh, if it's not a gunmetal case like the 1002HA, it's lame. And I can get over five hours with only two cells, thank you very much!
hold on. how is this different from the 1005HA? other than the texture stuff
The 1005HA comes with a 2200/4400/5600 mA battery (depending on the model), but there's no choice but a 2200 mA battery on this 1001HAzzzzzzz
The specs on these netbooks are boring now.
they were boring at least 4 months ago.
Oog... texture is less blah to look at, but more argh to clean.
I like it better than the 1005ha since I don't need to clean it as soon as I touch the finger-magnet surface.
OMGZ carbon fiberrrrrrrrrrr 30 + HP for my Eee PCCCCCCC 1001HAhahahaha.
/sarcasm (yes I know its not c. fiber)
They keep saying there are Linux versions, but I never seem to find them. I was waiting for the longest time the S101 32GB Linux version, but all I see everywhere is the 16GB XP version, all the way till it's replaced by the 1008HA.
Asus...looks alot like my gateway LT3103.
