email to a friendAn unannounced ASUS Eee PC has made its online appearance, and it's armed with something a little different inside.
The system, dubbed the Eee PC 1008P and captured by the folks over at HardwareZone, is a 10.1in netbook that's similar in terms of dimensions to the existing Eee PC 1008HA.
What makes the upcoming model stand out - aside from the garish pink design - is innards based on Intel's upcoming Pine Trail platform. Within the Eee PC 1008P, ASUS has provided a 1.66GHz Intel Atom "Pineview" processor, complete with integrated graphics and an on-chip memory controller.
The 45nm chip is said to consume 6.5W of power, and paired to the Tiger Point I/O it should pave the way for improved battery life. Though, CPU performance is likely to pale in comparison to mid-range CULV parts, and the ability of Intel's IGP remains a question mark.
The system's unusual looks - styled in either Hot Pink or Gold Brown - is the work of renowned designer Karim Rashid.
Aside from the new looks and next-gen Intel Atom processor, it's a familiar choice of hardware - including a 10.1in, 1,024x600 display, 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter operating system.
There's no mention of pricing just yet, but we're expecting to see this and a wave of Pineview-based netbooks at next month's CES. Anybody intrigued to see what Pineview can do? Or is CULV where it's at?

. Hate laptops with their bloatware and recovery disks etc - they get so slow so fast and are hard to housekeep...
you would rather a CULV than a laptop because of bloatware?Quote
Intel seem to be overtakeing nvidia in the "how to kneecap the competition" stakes.Quote
I'm still annoyed that intel seems to have blocked the 330 dual core Atom from netbooks, that would of been a much needed performance boost.

misses most of the power saving features out, almost like it was done on purpose to segregate the 230/330 and 270 from the start ;)
although the X30 does do 64bit, a lot of use when you can only get to 2GB max to play with...
nobody beats nvidia for shooting themselves in the feet either, rollo being a great example of how to do something wrongQuote

Did I say that?? CULVs and laptops are not mutually exclusive either, so not sure what you're getting at.
If I wasn't very clear then sorry - was just trying to convey that I prefer nettop/desktops to laptops. Yes some laptops are fast, but then they are often heavier and not worth hefting around. Not only that but smaller screen and laptop keyboards and touchpads all suck imho. Ok I take the point that bloatware+recovery disks are also prevalent on desktops but the impact can be so much worse on laptops as they often have less power, memory & slower hdds etc...
And many people with laptops I know end up using them on their desk 99% of the time anyway. I understand that many people don't like bulky desktops though - that's where I think nettops have so much potential. They're really compact yet have all the ports to connect a bigger monitor, full size keyboard and mouse etc. Only problem is that they are all atom so far, which is rubbish (v limited multitasking, no 1080p video, slow with flash etc etc). So in the same way that CULVs in netbooks/laptops have added more oomph than atoms and not much more cost/power, they should really breathe life into the nettop 'sector'. All imho of course.Quote
