Eee PC 1015PN with Windows 7 Home Premium now shipping… in Germany

The Asus Eee PC 1015PN is one of the most powerful netbooks on the market today, if that’s not an oxymoron. Sure, it doesn’t come close to matching a notebook with a Core i-series CPU, but this 10 inch netbook has a dual core 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 chip and the latest generation of NVIDIA ION graphics, which make it…

Upgrade your netbook to Windows Home 7 Premium for $50 starting next week

Almost every netbook that ships with Windows 7 comes with the crippled Windows 7 Starter Edition. Users can’t use Aero Glass desktop effects or even change the desktop background. Windows 7 Starter doesn’t include Windows Media Center or support for multiple monitors. Wikipedia has a good breakdown of all the Windows 7 features you’re missing if you get a netbook…

Asus Eee PC 1005PE-H comes with Win7 Home Premium, spec bump

French retailer fnac has posted a product page for a new Asus netbook model called the Eee PC 1005PE-H. Basically, the laptop is identical to the Asus Eee PC 1005PE in most respects. It has the same design, keyboard, and processor. But the Eee PC 1005PE-H comes with more RAM and storage space than its cheaper sibling, and ships with…

Asus Eee PC 1008HA (Windows 7 version) review

angle 1

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA is one of the thinnest and lightest 10 inch netbooks available. It measures just 1 inch thick and weighs just 2.4 pounds. The netbook is a grand departure from early Asus netbooks including the Eee PC 1000HE which was one of the largest and heaviest 10 inch netbooks around. Asus has been selling the Eee…

The Asus Eee PC 1101HA is a laptop with an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor.

Windows 7 + netbooks = lower battery life?

Last week Chris Guthrie at netbook Reviews ran a battery test on two virtually identical netbooks: An Asus Eee PC 1008HA with Windows 7 and one with Windows XP. He found that the Windows 7 model ran for an hour longer than the Windows XP model, which made it look like the operating system actually helped improve battery life on…

First look: Asus Eee PC 1008HA with Windows 7 Home Premium

1008ha win7

It looks like the PC vendors (and Microsoft) have spoken, and the vast majority of Intel Atom powered netbooks with 10 inch displays are going to ship with Windows 7 Starter Edition. But there is at least one model that stands out from the crowd. Asus will begin offering two versions of the Asus Eee PC 1008HA tomorrow: One with…

It’ll cost $80 to upgrade a netbook from Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium

Microsoft is giving netbook makers a choice of pre-loading Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Starter Edition on low price netbooks. My guess is that most computer makers will stick with Windows 7 Starter, which will be much cheaper, unless there’s huge demand for a more powerful operating system. But where does that leave netbook owners who don’t want…

Intel Atom Pineview may not be validated for Windows 7 Home Premium

pine-trail-no-premium

Microsoft has made a big point of letting the world now that every version of Windows 7 will run smoothly on low powered computers like netbooks. That means you can run Windows 7 Starter, Home Premium, Ultimate, or Enterprise on a netbook if you want. You’ll just have to pony up a bit more cash if you want to run…

Rumor: No Windows XP for netbooks with hybrid storage

Microsoft extended the life of Windows XP in order to give netbook makers a low cost operating system that wasn’t too heavy on resources to run on netbooks. But the company has set some restrictions on the systems that qualify for a cheap Windows XP license, because it wants to keep selling Windows Vista licenses for more powerful machines (and…

Would you pay extra to run Windows 7 Home Premium on a netbook?

Each and every version of Windows 7 will be capable of running on low cost, low power netbooks. But the cheapest version of Windows 7 that netbook makers will be able to license is Windows 7 Starter Edition, which will have several restrictions. For instance, users will only be able to run up to three programs at a time (applications…
