At home outdoors. The smallest netbook of the new Eee PCs from Asus is called 1051P and is equipped with a 10.1 inch display, Intel Atom N450 processor and 6 cell battery. Aside from a battery life of over 10 hours, the ergonomics are to be convincing.

Indeed, ASUS has done a really nice job in designing the most attractive netbooks on shelves today, and the best part is that you don't have to pay more than $350 (at least at Best Buy) for those premium designs, as the company has been known to do in the past. In the end, both the 1018P and 1015PE are very solid choices, though if you're looking for a netbook that lasts longer on a charge we have to recommend the Toshiba Mini NB305 or the Eee PC 1005PE.

Asus pioneered the netbook in 2007 and its Eee PC range has since grown by a staggering scale. While the Eee PC Seashell 1015PE adds little to the basic netbook concept, its unique features, great usability and ample storage make it easy to recommend

After a convincing Eee PC 1005PE, Asus is pursuing the development of its range of 10-inch netbooks. The Asus Eee PC 1015PE is the very essence of what a netbook should be: compact with good battery life. Its highly contrasted matte panel is a pleasure to behold and it's comfortable to use. In spite of its limited performance the Eee PC 1015PE claims a fifth star no problem.

Asus Eee PC Netbooks have diversified into a sometimes numbing range of options, but when they're boiled down, most of them have nearly the same components. Case in point: the Asus Eee PC 1015PED. The Asus Eee PC 1015PED is the definition of standard 10-inch Netbook, with little to distinguish it despite its solid overall performance: we've seen it all before.

All in all, the Asus EEE PC 1015PED is right now on of the best mainstream 10 inchers. And by mainstream I mean devices with great features/price ratios. It is also a part of the best 10 inch netbooks list here on the site, where you can check out the other top picks available at the moment. Like you can see, this is not exactly a review of the 1015PED as this particular version is not actually available in my country yet. Still, I'm trying to get my hands on one of them and in the mean time, you can see the reviews it scored with buyers via this link.

Nuclear Fission. In the Eee PC 1015PEM, Asus presents its first netbook with Intel's new Atom N55 dual core processor. More power for a surcharge of only 20 euro? We've put the new components and the netbook through its paces.

A new netbook from Asus comes with two "firsts". One was to do with Asus while the other was a first for me. Overall I was impressed with the performance of the Eee1015PEM. It is a handy unit for those who are constantly on the move. The dual environment and use of USB 3.0 are big pluses and easily outweigh the slight discomfort I feel when using the netbook on my lap.

If you are looking for a netbook with long battery life and above average performance, the ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM is certainly the netbook to consider. It does come with a higher price tag with street prices of roughly $350 but for just a bit more money, it comes with a dual core processor considerably above average running times and a very attractive design.

A dual core Atom isn’t quite as impressive as you might expect, and we’d like to see faster graphics paired with it to improve the HD video performance. And while they keep the price low, the relatively slow hard drive and small amount of memory don’t let the Eee PC 1015PEM shine the way we’d expect it to, so it doesn’t break out of the netbook mould. If we were being picky we'd say it's a little heavier than we expected and we don't love the keyboard, the wrist rest or the sharp edges of the indicator lights scratching at our wrists. But these are quibbles; it's great to see USB 3 on a netbook, the battery life is very good and at this price the combination is great value.

The ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM is priced at Rs. 20,999, which is decent for a dual core processor netbook. You don’t get a whole lot more for the additional price but at the same time, it’s not much more than a single core processor netbook. We like the nifty features that ASUS has put into this product but a slightly updated design would be good to see.

The Asus Eee PC Seashell 1015PEM netbook is a mix of style and cutting-edge technology, let down by the installed Windows 7 Starter operating system and insufficient system memory. A good Intel Atom-based netbook. Not suitable as a business system as sold, but tweaks, such as ditching Windows Starter Edition and adding an extra 1GB of system memory, would redress this. USB 3.0 ports give much faster file transfer to USB Flash drives.

The Asus Eee PC 1015PEM netbook sells for a price of £301. It's definitely not the cheapest netbook out there, but it's hardly expensive. The Eee PC 1015PEM packs in a dual-core Atom N550 processor and comes with some noteworthy features such as online storage, a quick-boot OS and a matt screen. However, it only has 1GB of RAM, and its battery life is below par compared to other netbooks in our Top 5 Netbooks list. More importantly, the dual-core Atom N550 doesn't offer any significant performance bump compared to the older single-core Atom N450 processor. Nonetheless, consider the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM for its features, if you're looking to buy a netbook right now.

Internally, the line-up of components is as you'd expect, with one of the latest Intel's 1.5GHz dual-core Atom N550 processors, and 1GB of DDR3 RAM on board. Applications run smoothly in Windows 7, and the addition of the dual-core technology means that it's noticeably more responsive when running multiple applications than a single-core Atom. The overall benchmark score of 0.42 indicates, however, there still isn't much raw power on tap.

Asus' Eee PC 1015PEM packs in as much new technology as you'd expect a netbook to offer, but the result is underwhelming. There's no real improvement in performance over previous generations, though the battery life is better. But netbooks like these are going to have to become considerably more lithe if they're not to be quickly out-evolved by tablets.

The dual core N550 processor lets Windows 7 run like it was meant to so performance wise is an easy choice over a single core netbook. Its price is extremely reasonable for what you get; an elegantly built machine with all day battery life and zippy performance. Streaming HD content isn’t going to be on your to do list but playing native HD content won’t be an issue. Its also not every netbook that comes across our table that we can say 2 members of Netbook News are opening up their wallets for purchase as their personal netbooks.
What it lacks in power, the N230 makes up with its lightweight chassis and low price.

After five days spent with ASUS' netbook, eight hours of meetings, four PowerPoint presentations, hundreds of lines of Word text and an excellent episode of Family Guy, we can only say that this is the best netbook we've had the chance to try out so far. None of its usage segments was disappointing, and with its price in mind, one can only wonder what is wrong with ASUS' marketing department. A mere 360€ will provide you with one of the currently fastest and most reliable netbooks on the market, a gadget that no businessman should venture out without!

The system offered exceptional battery life, although its single-core processor hindered performance. With several improvements over its predecessor, including a dual-core processor and a lower price, this 10.1-inch netbook is a suitable supplement to a full-size laptop.

This is one of the few netbooks to employ the dual-core Intel mobile Atom CPU, so we were a little unsure of what to expect with the Asus EeePC 1015PEM. We were pleased to say it performed decently well with almost all tasks. There did seem to be a detectable improvement over single-core netbooks when it came to launching applications, browsing with multiple pages open, etc. Don't expect to be able to do things at the same speed you would on a desktop or laptop computer, but for the things you'd expect to do on a netbook, it does a respectable job. Battery life with the Asus EeePC 1015PEM is rated by Asus to have an amazing 13 hours of battery life, but with real-world use, expect to get around 7-9 hours, which is still extremely good.

This is one of the few netbooks to employ the dual-core Intel mobile Atom CPU, so we were a little unsure of what to expect with the Asus EeePC 1015PEM. We were pleased to say it performed decently well with almost all tasks.

The $369 ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM offers better overall performance than single-core netbooks at a reasonable price. Its good looks, robust software bundle, and long battery life are also points in its favor. The keyboard is a bit cramped, and you don't get smooth 720p video playback (at least online). But for shoppers who want a netbook that's zippy when performing everyday tasks and lasts all day on a charge, the 1015PEM is a very good choice.

All in all, the Asus 1015PEM manages to meet my expectations. I was expecting it to be the fastest 10 inch mini laptop and it is. I was not dreaming for insane performance boosts, but I wanted an affordable device, snappier than average in everyday tasks and with good battery life. And this is exactly what the Asus EEE PC 1015PEM offers. That's why this notebook is now a part of my list of recommended 10 inchers and I consider it the best option for a mini netbook available right now on the market.

AMD Netbook. Asus now offers AMD hardware in the well-known chassis. The Asus Eee PC 1015T works with an AMD V105 processor (1.2 GHz, single core) and an ATI Radeon HD 4250. Is it the perfect Intel Killer in 10 inches or a power hungry netbook without much more performance?
Source: Bit-Tech Archive.org version
Overall, we've got a mixed opinion of the Eee PC 1015T. It's frustratingly limited with the 1GB 768MB of usable memory it ships with, and spending extra cash on a 2GB upgrade while having to throw out that 1GB stick is rather annoying. It's even more frustrating that the system gets lumbered with half a ton of software bloat on top of its already resource-heavy Windows 7 OS.

Power Pack. Asus launches yet another offshoot of the successful series with the Eee PC 1015PN. The highlights are a new Intel Atom N550, a dedicated Nvidia ION 2 graphics unit and a HDMI out. This configuration could represent the perfect blend of performance, mobility and functionality.

Visually, there's no way of telling the Asus Eee PC 1015PN from the other 1015 versions that we have also tested. The Asus Eee PC 1015PN associates the Atom N550 CPU with the new generation ION 8 Cuda chipset. In practice, it's the gain in battery life, more than performance, which gives it the edge over the 1015PEM.

The compact 10-inch Asus Eee PC 1015PN offers a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics for decidedly better-than-average Netbook performance, but premium ultraportables that aren't much more expensive can do better still.

Sure, the 1015PN differs from the other 1015 models out there, but we just wish it were more like its larger 1215N brother. While the 1015PN has a smaller footprint and slightly longer battery life, its processor just isn't as powerful and having to reboot every time you want to switch between graphics cards is a serious inconvenience.

The Asus Eee PC 1015PN may be one of the most powerful 10 inch netbooks with an Intel Atom chip on the market today. Unfortunately with great power comes great less than stellar battery life. While the Eee PC 1015PN can handle 1080p HD video playback and some 3D graphics and gaming tasks, those capabilities come at the expensive of battery life, and you’ll be lucky to get between 4 and 6 hours of run time depending on how you use the laptop.

Like the MSI Wind U160DX, as it can't claim an original configuration, this 10.1 inch is counting on an unusual design and colours to set itself apart on the netbook market. While the 1015PW won't revolutionise netbooks in general or the Eee PC range, at least it won't disgrace itself either. It uses tried and tested components and adds a touch of fantasy.

1015PX = R051PX? Asus unleashes another netbook onto the market with the proven seashell case. The 1015PX admittedly seems to be of identical construction to the R051PX.
Source: Tech2.in.com Archive.org version
The ASUS 1015PX has a good design, is pretty much loaded in terms of features and performs as good as any average netbook. However, it deserves to be called value for money because at Rs. 12,999, the netbook is priced a lot lower than the rest of these netbooks. There’s a good Rs. 7,000 - 10,000 difference if you compare to any of the netbooks done before. One thing for sure is that it’s not perfect, but is good value for money. If you’re looking for an expert in performance, the Dell M101z will be a better choice, but in terms of a good budget netbook, the 1015PX is up there.

If you’re on the market for a small 10 incher and want the device with the best features/price ratio, the Asus EEE PC 1015PX is probably one of your best picks. For a netbook, it’s solid built, nice looking and pretty fast, plus it comes with all the features producers usually bundle on these machines and good battery life. You do have to remember however it’s only a netbook and as long as you know that and adjust your expectations, this little Asus and you will be best mates.

AMD power? Asus is constantly increasing its Eee PC range. Now the Taiwanese company has also ventured a try basing its smallest series' member on AMD. The 10 inch netbook is available with the entry level APUs, AMD C-30 or C-50 including the incorporated AMD Radeon HD 6250 for the graphics unit (DirectX 11). Price: starts at 250 euros. Is the attempt worth it or should you continue to rely on Intel netbooks?

Of course, your feedback and opinions are much appreciated, so let me know if you have any questions or things you need to know about the 1015B EEE PC, as I’ll still have it around for a couple of extra days before I’ll have to return it.

The ASUS Eee PC 1015B proves that AMD can play in the netbook space, and this machine certainly benchmarks better in the graphics department than most Intel Atom-powered machines. However, for just $20 more you can get the 1015PEM, which offers a faster dual-core processor and two more hours of battery life. This $279 netbook is worth a look, but it's not the best value.

The ASUS Eee PC 1015b's main attraction is its $289.99 price point; this is one of the most inexpensive netbooks on the market with Windows 7. Even at this price, however, the 1015b is tough to recommend. The number one concern is usability; it is simply not there. The small screen and its low resolution, the limited functionality of Windows 7 Starter Edition, and the exceptionally sluggish performance of the AMD C-30 processor and 1GB of RAM make computing a frustrating experience. The keyboard is easy to type on but rattles; the touchpad’s buttons are too loud; the build quality could be better; lastly, the small fan makes too much noise. Spending another $50-150 can buy much-needed improvements in all of the areas mentioned above. Unless price is a paramount concern, there are better choices out there.

So should you buy the Eee Seashell? It depends what you're in the market for. If you need a cheap machine for casually looking up websites in the living room, or perhaps watching some online video, it's extremely good value.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.
Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.
Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.
Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
ATI Radeon HD 4250: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) for AMD processors with Avivo HD support and technically a higher clocked HD 4200.
NVIDIA ION 2: ION2 is a GT218 graphics chip for Pinetrail Atom systems (D510, D410, N450) with 8 or 16 shader cores depending on the platform (10", 12", desktop). Compared to ION 1, ION 2 is a dedicated graphics card (connected only by a PCIe 1x due to the Pinetrail limitations) based on the GeForce 305M / 310M. Supports PureVideo HD to decode HD videos.
ATI Radeon HD 4200: Onboard graphics adapter (RS880M chipset) with UVD2 (PIP support) and DX 10.1 support (compared to the older HD 3200). Beware, possibly no 2D acelleration in Windows XP (as the HD3200).
AMD Radeon HD 6250: Integrated graphics card in the Ontario netbook processors (e.g. C-50 and C-30) featuring an UVD3 video decoder and no dedicated memory.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N450:
Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.
N475: Upcoming Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller (as the difference to the N470 with DDR2) and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the CPU should be only minimally faster than a current Atom Z450 with 1.86 GHz.
N550: Dual core Atom with a TDP of only 8.5 Watt. Because of the slow clock speed of 1.5 GHz it may be sometimes even slower than a N465 Atom CPU.
N570: Dual core Atom processor with a slightly higher clock rate than the Atom N550 and therefore still slower than the CULV processors.
AMD V-Series:
V105: Slow single core CPU by AMD and rival to the Intel Atom CPUs. Compared to an 1.6 GHz Atom, the V105 is a bit faster.
AMD C-Series:
C-50: Dual Core low power processor with an integrated graphics cards. Due to the low clock speed, the CPU should be only as fast as a single core Atom CPU, but offers a faster integrated GPU.
C-30: Single Core low power processor with an integrated graphics cards. Due to the low clock speed, the CPU should slower than a single core Atom CPU, but offers a faster integrated GPU with HD video support.

76.82%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
