ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1001P-MU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life

ASUS has some of the best netbooks on the market, and that trend seems to be still going on with all the new models that the company has released to the market. We already have seen 1005PE and 1201N netbooks that are more energy efficient and powerful respectively. But ASUS is not stopping there. ASUS 1001P is a highly portable and energy efficient netbook that is designed for those who spend a lot of time on the road. The device is not as feature rich as 1005HE, but it’s certainly capable of holding its own against other netbooks on the market. (more…)

ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17-WT Tablet White Netbook - 5 Hour Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)

The latest netbook/tablet hybrid by Asus is finally out and shipping on Amazon and other major retailers. ASUS was one of the first companies that came up with the idea of combining tablets and netbooks to develop a hybrid device. Netbooks are portable and capable of performing web-based tasks. By adding touch capability, ASUS has made these devices a good tool to own for business and design professionals.

Here are the specifications for ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17:

  • CPU: 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 Processor
  • RAM: 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 1 Slot, 2GB Max
  • Hard-Drive: 32GB Solid State Drive + 500GB Free Eee Storage
  • Screen: 8.9-Inch Touch LED LCD Display
  • Tablet: Multi-Touch Functionality
  • OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) Operating System
  • Battery Life: 5 Hour Battery Life

The bad news is that this device will cost you $500+ at this point. But if you need a portable tablet to take with you on the go, this device could come in handy.

Making Sense of ASUS 1005HA Netbooks

ASUS 1005HA is one of the best netbooks around. ASUS has so many netbooks that sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish among all these different models. Add to the fact that there are 3 different ASUS 1005 HA models up for sale and things get even more confusing. A lot of folks have told me that they often make mistakes when picking up an ASUS laptop and pay less for a model without realizing that they are getting less for their money as well.

If you are interested in purchasing an ASUS 1005HA netbook, here are the 3 models you should pay attention to:

These models do look very similar on the surface. They all have the same design and almost similar features. But they are some slight differences that shoppers need to pay attention to get the most for their money. PU1X is the top of the line model. You get a faster CPU and more battery life with this model. It is a bit heavier than the low-end 1005HA model, but you get about 5 more hours of battery life from your netbook (comparison chart after the break).
