Asus Eee PC 1015PEM-PU17

You must have read about Asus Eee PC 1015PED, the new laptop from Asus with single core processor. Asus Eee PC 1015PEM is another new model from the manufacturer that differs from 1015PED due to the dual core processor it runs on. As a result, one can experience higher multitasking speed offered by the dual core based 1015PEM. For this, one needs to pay only few dollars more than the price of 1015PED. Also, the long battery life, which is one of the best features of 1015PED, is not compromised due to dual core processor in 1015PEM.

As far as other specifications are concerned, there are very few differences between the two devices. Asus Eee PC 1015PEM is a tapered design with all those curvy looks that most of the members of the Eee PC family feature. The keyboard included in the design is smaller than normal, though the keys are convenient to use. The multitouch trackpad is wide and comfortable to use.

The laptop has an LED screen of size 10.1 inch and pixel resolution of 1,152 x 864. Just like 1015PED, this laptop too lacks upscale high definition screen. Besides, the high definition graphics package too goes missing in this Asus laptop.

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Ethernet network technologies are present in the Laptop. It also lacks HDMI port and optical drive. The ports available in the laptop include 3 USB 2.0 ports, one VGA port and an SD card reader. 1015PED does offer a dual core processor for better performance, but there are other laptops with dual core processor as well as many other features that this laptop lacks./p>
