Though this is just a prototype, everyone’s abuzz with expectation and competitors are heading back to their drawing boards.

The NB520 brings forth a new advancement in the world of netbooks with its stereo Harman Kardon speakers.

maksim — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:03:30 +0000

Asus has come up with the new Eee PC 1018 that is a dream come true for all netbook enthusiasts. It is a sleek and elegantly designed thin netbook which has a completely flat lid. Asus has luckily kept their standard Eee PC keyboard which makes typing much easier. However, the smaller right-side Shift key is difficult to use if you’re used to a larger Shift key.

The touch pad offered in the Eee PC 1018 has improved greatly as compared to the previous versions of Eee PC touch pads. Not only is it bigger, but it has a specific scroll zone along the right corner. The 10.1 inch display has a 1,024×600-pixel native resolution which is the same as previous versions of Eee PCs, so no new developments in that area.

Overall, the new Eee PC is a great buy for anyone who wants to upgrade from their old netbook.
