ASUS Eee PC 1018P, 1016P and 1015P prepping for a CeBIT debut

Looks like there won't be a shortage of new laptops and netbooks next week at CeBIT, and if Blogeee is to be believed ASUS will be showing up with at least three new 10.1-inch Eee PCs. The most exciting of the bunch seem to be the executive-aimed 1016P and 1018P, which will both apparently have an aluminum chassis and 14 hours of battery life. The .7-inch 1018P is said to be the thinnest netbook ASUS has ever created, and sport an integrated fingerprint reader and USB 3.0. Uh, USB 3.0 in a netbook? We don't see why not. Finally there's the 1015P, which seems to just be an refresh of the 1005PE with a matte display and a wider touchpad. It sounds triple E exciting, but we promise to find out more on these little guys next week when we are live in Deutschland.

Looks very cool.

When will battery life be measured in units of longcats?
Also, this must be ARM architecture since longevity is in the double longcat range.

@kingu
I seriously doubt they would have an ARM netbook aimed at executives.

@DoctarPeppar Since when were eee pc's aimed at executives?

[evolutionofnonsens Posted Feb 26th 2010 7:06AM]

3G please...? How executive is it not to have 3G (or even 4G for that matter)?

Dude, I want this NOW.
