Asus unwraps dual-core Atom netbook

One with a proper, mobile CPU, this time

Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider

Asus has outed its first netbook based on the just-announced dual-core Atom N550 processor.

Step forward, the Eee PC 1015PEM, which combines Asus' curvy seashell design with said 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB of DDR 3, 160-320GB of hard drive storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi and all the usual netbook portage.

Well, almost - this boy has a pair of USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth 3.0 for all those next-gen peripherals you don't own yet.

The whole lot sits behind a 48, 56 or 63Wh battery - depending on SKU and where in the world you buy one - for up to 13 hours' untethered runtime, though that's with Asus' underclocking Super Hybrid Engine operating.

And "13 hours" is a lie

Or, as they would probably call it, an estimate for marketing purposes.

Asus eeePC904HA, very big clear sticker about 6 hours battery life, and amazing how my iPhone's clock puts it at 4-4.5 hours even running the eeePC power management, wifi turned off, sitting twiddling its thumbs... (mostly - reading eBooks)

Obviously faulty iPhone clock, couldn't be Asus being full of it.

AMD Turion II Neo Dual-Core Processor K625 (1.5GHz)

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 Graphics

5Gigs DDR3

720P LED screen

Solid state drive.
