ASUS'
Eee PC line is about to get three new models. According to leaked details from
blogeee, the three new models–the
Eee PC 1018P, the Eee PC
1016P, and the Eee PC 1015P–all have 10-inch displays and likely run on Intel’s
latest
Pine Trail
Atom processors.
Although we aren't likely to see official details from ASUS
until CeBIT 2010, a few more leaked details are currently available. For
starters, the ASUS Eee PC 1015P is apparently a refresh of the current Eee PC
1005P. The most noticeable upgrade with this newer model is a larger touchpad.
The Eee PC 1015P features an aluminum body and touts a battery life rated
for up to 14hrs.
The ASUS Eee PC 1016P reportedly targets business users with
its square design, chiclet keys, aluminum chassis, and a 14 hour runtime. Last
but not least, the ASUS Eee PC 1018P is the company's thinnest netbook to date,
measuring just 18mm thick. It will offer 10 hours of battery life, an
integrated fingerprint scanner, and USB 3.0.
