Asus Eee PC 1005PE, now with Pinetrail

Although the new Pinetrail netbooks have been launched for some time now in the US and elsewhere in the world, the UK was lagging behind a little – until now!  Here’s a quick roundup of all the new Intel Atom N450 powered netbooks on the market at the moment.  The most popular at the moment is the Asus Eee PC 1005PE, but there’s a great bargain to be had with the 1001P.  Want a bit of style?  Check out the Toshiba NB305, or the 1008P (pre-order only for now).
