The Asus Eee PC 1001P is a new mid-range netbook from Asus. It is a step lower than the very popular Asus 1005 series. Despite its smaller range of specs and features, the 1001 still pack a mean punch. It also helps that is has a oh-so-affordable price tag. Like all new netbook models, this model has an Intel N450 Atom processor (1.66Ghz). For memory, it has 1GB of DDR2 RAM. Then there is 160GB for storage.
The Asus Eee PC 1001P measures at around 10.31 x 7.01 x 1.2 inches in dimensions. It also has a variety of other features such as a set of stereo speakers (with HD audio CODEC), memory card reader. For connectivity, this netbook has 3 USB ports and 802.11b/g connectivity. This model doesn't come with Bluetooth but it wouldn't matter much as most of us seldom use that feature anyway. The 10.1-inch screen is a matte, LED back-lit display (1024 x 600 resolution). This significantly reduces glare when used under bright lighting conditions.
My all time favorite feature with Asus netbooks would have to be their long battery life. The Asus Eee PC 1001P can last up to 11 hours on a single charge, which is extremely impressive by any laptop standards. The keyboard was comfy and is as good as a netbook keyboard gets. There are also some interesting new elements in this model's design. Instead of the plain casing found on other Asus netbook models, the 1001P has fine-checkered patterns on its external casing. It gives is a touch of sophistication to its overall looks. In terms of structure, it sports Asus's famous seashell design. Despite packing in a whole lot of great features, the Asus Eee PC 1001P is extremely affordable. It is currently priced at just around $290 per unit.
