Asus Launch New Netbooks to Challenge Windows 7 Laptops
Fri, 23 Oct 2009
Asus has announced it is to launch two netbooks which will run on the new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system . The Eee PC 1005HR and the Eee PC 1005HE will both be powered by an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N280 processor, have three megapixel webcams, WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities and have either a 160GB or 250GB hard drive . The mini laptops will also both have 10.1 inch displays and significantly, the HR netbook will boast 1366x768 resolution, becoming the first Asus netbook to exceed 1024x600.

The new netbooks are the latest updates to the Asus Seashell range, and come at a time when many computer manufacturers are holding fire on releasing new netbook PCs as they wait for the next generation Pineview Atom processors from Intel, which are expected to be available from January.

The netbooks have 1GB of RAM, causing some analysts to challenge whether the small notebooks will be able to cope with the demands of the Windows 7 operating system. Asus has only included the Windows 7 Starter Edition software, which does not include the Aero user interface or DVD playback software . Internet Explorer 8 will be the default browser on the netbooks.
