Well Asus’ first Pine trail netbook is finally available for pre-order, but it’s in Italy. The official launch date for the Pine trail processor is at CES on Jan 15th, but manufacturers are already stockpiling netbooks with the new processor and getting them ready to start shipping.
Here are the specs for the newly emerged Asus Eee PC’s with the Pine trail processor:
Asus Eee PC 1005P
- Processor: Intel N450 Pine Trail 1.67GHz
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB hard drive
- Windows 7 starter
The 1005PE will share the same specs only with a 250GB hard drive and bluetooth. The price looks to be around $345 for the 1005P and $382 for the 1005PE, but expect these prices to come down after launch.
There’s also a cool carbon fiber look to the lid.
