Asus Eee PC 1005PE - 10.1in Netbook video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

While it doesn’t bring the changes we had hoped for, Intel’s new Atom platform and the N450 processor combine with Windows 7 to elevate the Asus Eee PC 1005PE above its predecessors. However, though it can handle 720p video and uses less power, the 1005PE's benefits aren't substantial enough to make it a must buy. Read full review

    Want a large laptop without the large outlay? Samsung’s cheap but cheerful 17.3in effort comes highly recommended.

Going to be a pedant. First sentence: wasn't the first netbook the Asus 700/701 back in late 2007?

I don't intend to be a not a netbook owner, but I can see the appeal. And that 250GB worth of storage does put the MacBook Pro's rather stingy 160GB into perspective for a £900 computer.

Glad that the HP mini 311c got a mention, I have one and its a great little netbook handling video playback, gaming using the "last generation" games like Medievil 2:Total war, Half life 2 ect and the screen, keyboard and build quality is excellent. However this Asus does does beat the HP by including Windows 7 (XP on HP unfortunatly) and by having a large Hard Drive (160GB to 250GB) and by having a shorter battery life, but still I would recommend the HP Mini to anyone, £300 direct from HP and if you get lucky when they are doing a sale you could nab one for £250 like I did! :-)

On a real laptop you don't need it but because their so small you need a bigger screen if your working on one for about an hour or more in one go as it will strain your eyes. @ Goldenguy you pay for the OS, a nice case ( about £500 ) and battery life. IMO macs are nicely rounded laptops but are about £200 overpriced. Pretty much identical (not battery life) laptops can be had for under £400 (if talking about the 15'').

Huh? People use the video out all the time. Lots of student use netbooks at university, they are powerful enough to do presentations with. And if you connect your netbook to a 20-24" display and maybe a USB hub with a mouse and keyboard, you've suddently got a device (albeit slow) much more suited for prolongued browsing and media consumption. The former unfortunately requires VGA, the latter looks MUCH better with a digital connection like DVI and HDMI.

I actually own an Asus 1005PE- and I'm using it right now to type this comment.





People seem to easily forget what the netbook concept is about- mobile computing. Size and weight is important, and the 1005PE scores well on both fronts- I use this computer all around the house, on trains, on planes and in meetings and tutorials. Battery life is fabulous ! There are a number of energy saving options- both the standard windows power profile, settings in the graphics properties, screen brightness and also processor speed- I regularly manage more than full work-days with this netbook.





I'm not interested in gaming or HD video playback- these are not really relevant considerations for a netbook review.





True, this is not the cheapest netbook- but the 1005P has the same basic spec but with smaller HDD and no bluetooth- and it still comes with WIN7 and it's a bit cheaper than the 1005PE.
