Asus Eee PC 1005PE review

Asus can personally take credit for the explosion of netbooks a few years back, as its original Eee PC kicked off the trend of smaller, lighter portables. The Eee PC 1005PE is the latest in a long line of Eee PC netbooks and, while this new model offers few original features, the quality has not dipped. In terms of design, Asus has stuck quite firmly to the stylish chassis used in previous models. The glossy lid and interior look is as sleek as ever, although they are highly prone to attracting dust and fingerprints. Durability is reassuringly strong, with firm hinges and minimal flex. The touchpad also remains unchanged, with a tactile, textured surface that sits level with the chassis. This may not suit all tastes due to a lack of edge definition, but the pad is responsive and the mouse buttons are suitably firm and responsive. Revamped keyboard Another area that remains from previous models is the keyboard, with an isolated-key design similar to other netbooks. All keys are well separated and raised from the chassis. This is perfect for frequent touch-typing, as it's hard to hit the wrong key by mistake. The keyboard is also pleasingly quiet to use at all times.

Product Survey: Netbooks

Asus' new mid-range netbook succeeds the Eee PC 1005HA-M. Aesthetically close to this model, it retains the same "elegant and natural" design and matte panel. However, there's a new keyboard and new touchpad and it moves over to Intel's Pinetrail platform. Available in black or white, the Asus Eee PC 1005PE keeps the same design as its predecessor. All in glossy plastic then, except the underneath of the netbook. While this wasn't a problem on our white test model (with the exception of the area around the screen), it is much more so on the black models which quickly attract finger marks. This detail apart, what you have here is a robust, well-finished computer. The 1005PE'shas better spaced keys (14 x 13 mm). Keying is quiet and rapid, with keys that are sufficiently firm to give comfortable typing. The reduced size and positioning of certain keys is however regrettable. "Ctrl" left and "Shift" (capitals) could have been a bit wider. Overall it's nice to use and look at.There's now a multitouch on most Asus laptops. This one is perfectly set into the chassis and makes up an area of 6.5 cm by 3.5 cm. Small raised dots allow you to distinguish it from the surrounding plastics. The glide is fine, though the 1008P KR does better here (matte surface and not glossy). Precision is good.

ASUS Eee PC 1005PE-P (Seashell)

There’s good battery life, and then there’s leave-the-power-brick-at-home battery life. The ASUS Eee PC 1005PE ($379) is one of the first netbooks to hit the market with Intel’s new Atom N450 processor and NM10 chipset, code named Pine Trail, which promises a 20 percent decrease in average power consumption. And ASUS makes the most of the chip; this 2.8-pound machine lasts over 10.5 hours on a charge. While very similar to the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA, a system we praised for its style, this sequel offers better endurance, a bigger 250GB hard drive, and a better keyboard. Plus, ASUS includes a nifty software bundle. We have some nitpicks about the design—and you shouldn’t expect a marked performance improvement—but overall this netbook is a very good choice. From the outside, the 1005PE looks the same as the 1005HA; both are members of ASUS’ Seashell family. Though less svelte than the inch-thick 1008HA, the 1005HA pulls from the same gene pool with its curved panels and sharp look. Gone, however, is the uniform body of the 1008HA; no plastic covers the edges or hides the ports. Its glossy dark blue lid (also available in black, pink, and white) is covered in a scratch-resistant Infusion finish.

Asus Eee PC1005PE, Atom N450 Pinetrail Launch

If you consider Intel's design execution over the past 12 months or so, you'd have to admit it's nothing short of impressive. Not only did we see the launch of a new desktop chip with the Core i7, but Intel then ramped up clock speeds, introduced lower-cost mainstream variants of the platform, and then drove that technology down into the mobile market with the introduction of Clarksfield, otherwise known as Core i7 mobile. Of course all of that execution was centered around more powerful computing platforms with larger form factors, along with the thermal and power budgets that go with them. These products, though huge contributors to Intel's bottom line, didn't cater to the ultra-mobile set of devices Intel affectionately calls "Netbooks" and "MIDs" - cash cows that Intel CEO, Paul Otellini holds near and dear to his heart, along with the company's investors. In fact, Intel's Atom processor and its various platforms for netbooks was relatively quiet, in terms of advancements this year, though Intel sold a boat load of these little chips to various OEMs for what has to be the hottest commodity of the past decade in computing - the netbook.
