So much for us having to wait a few weeks to get our hands on N450 and other new netbooks in 2010.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17 may not have a dual core CPU, but it does have the fast ATOM N450 processor that many have been waiting for a while now.

It does come with ATOM N450 and can give you up to 14 hours of battery life on the go. That’s a record for ASUS.
