UK Netbook Review

While Asus hasn’t even officially announced its upcoming Eee PC 1015PEM netbook that we reported on yesterday, but sometime this morning, an official product page went live… Don’t bother clicking though, since it’s already disappeared again.

Earlier this week Intel announced a 1.5GHz dual core Atom N550 processor. Since then, tons of new netbooks sporting the new chipset coming out of the woodwork. One of them is the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM

Asus has posted a product page for the Eee PC 1015PD. This new 10 inch netbook model comes with either a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 or 1.83GHz Intel Atom N475 processor, GMA 3150 graphics, and 1 to 2GB of DDR3 memory.

As we noted earlier, new Asus Eee PC 1215N is to start shipping in August (for the States at least) but that didn’t stop the folks at Netbook Live from getting their hands one and putting it through its paces. On first impression, the 1215N is a real powerhouse, with a dual core Atom D525 processor and NVIDIA ION 2 graphics. That should mean that multitasking duties as well as HD video playback will be a breeze – possibly even some 3D video gaming while you’re at it.

Yes, another post about the Asus Eee PC 1215N, but we just can’t wait to see these thing in the wild. Engadget reports that Asus will start shipping the laptop in the States on or around August 23rd.
