ASUS Eee PC 1005P/PE with Atom N450 Debuts, Gives 12.5 Hours Battery Life

The Asus Eee PC 1005P/PE units debuted this week, just in time to remind holiday Netbook buyers that their tech is already becoming obsolete. The Atom N450 units offer some nice specs for bargain shoppers and a decent design Asus users will be familiar with.

Both models feature 10 inch LED backlit displays pushing out 1,024 x 600 pixels of resolution, 1 GB DDR2-RAM and the Windows 7 “Starter” Edition which should work just fine for users looking for a lightweight, inexpensive offering. The units also offer GMA 3150 GPU’s with the PE model sporting a 250GB hard drive.

Asus is also claiming that their 6 cell battery will push out 12.5 hours thanks to the hyper-efficient N450 CPU.
