ASUS on the move ...

... with 1005P ASUS Eee PC coupled with Intel Atom N450

"The first images of ASUS Eee PC 1005P are available showing a black and a white version. From a "reliable" source there is mentioning of a blue version of the new Intel Atom N450 netbook.

The black model reminds many of the Eee PC 1001HA carbon looking model, the same can be said with the white version of the Eee PC 1005P, apart from a larger hard drive, glossy display and a thicker battery that promises a 12hrs performance. Otherwise, the housing is not so different from the classic Eee PC 1005HA."
