It's hard to
differentiate yourself in the netbook world nowadays -- pretty much every manufacturer is trudging along the same
Pine Trail, with the same one, maybe two, gigabytes of RAM and 160GB to 320GB in storage. So ASUS, the original gangster of this sector, is aiming to wow consumers with a scintillating 13.5 hours of autonomous use courtesy of its 6-cell 63Wh battery pack. The
EeePC 1015P and 1015PE differ only
in aesthetics, with both sporting 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 screens and
Atom N450 processors. No, that's not going to break any performance records, but if that longevity number proves true, we suspect there'll be plenty of eager buyers out there. Price and availability haven't yet been revealed, but ASUS doesn't usually keep us waiting so look out for these in the very near future.
