On paper the Asus Eee PC 1015PE doesn’t look all that different from other recent netbooks from Asus. It has the same 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 250GB hard drive, 802.1b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth. It runs Windows 7 Starter and has a 4400mAh battery.
But the Eee CP 1015PE features a new design with a matte display and a larger touchpad than other models like the Eee PC 1005PE. It also comes with different color options, including a red model.
Riccardo at Eee PC.it managed to snag one of the new netbooks in Italy, and he’s posted an unboxing video and some first impressions. You can check out the video after the break. It’ll probably make more sense if you speak Italian, but for the most parts I’ve found taking-things-out-of-boxes has a universal language all its own.
Wow, that looks like a very nice netbook. They’ve come a long long way in style and build quality since they first hit the market. That design looks downright compelling.
For some reason I just do not enjoy the fact that it has two colors.
I mean look at the 1005PR/1000H it has a single color where where.
The keyboard is black and the touchpad is red. I just dont like it.
Looks nice, can I get one with a higher res display??? That’s what I’d really want, the screen from the 1005pr with the broadcom, and this chassis.
