Laptops Asus intros revamped Eee PC 1002HA

MAGNeT

Forerunner
Thinner, lighter

Asus has launched a redesigned version of its Eee PC 1002HA. Spec-wise, there's no big news, but the new version looks a lot better, thanks to a sleek design and the fact that much of its chassis is made from brushed aluminum.

It's a bit thinner and lighter than its predecessor, weighing 1.2kg with a 4200mAh battery and measuring 25x18x2.6cm. The only new feature (not-sub.ed.) worth mentioning is MS PRO support, so if you've got a ton of Sony hardware and overpriced memory cards to go along with it, the new Eee should be a good choice.

Let's hope Asus manages to keep the price down. The current 1000H with a 6-cell battery sells for around €375, but the stylish N10 sells for just €25 more.

€450?

Several European e-taliers have listed the new Eee PC 1002HA, and it's priced at a saucy €449. We already talked about the 1002HA, here, and we have to admit we love its looks, but we were hoping for a much lower price.

The 1000H currently sells for under €370, the N10 is priced at €430, while the stylish and overpriced S101 sells for €570. Where does the 1002HA fit in? We'd like to know, too. Look at the bright side, the 1000H is bound to get even cheaper. MSI's Wind U120 is also coming soon, and it should end up priced around the €400 mark.

Retailers expect to have the 1002HA in stock in mid-January.
