Asus’ Eee PC 1025C series Intel Cedar Trail netbooks have already made it to our news section a few times before CES 2012 started, but the Las Vegas fair marks the official introduction of these laptops in Asus’ product line.
Expected to ship in February of this year,
Asus’ Eee PC 1025C series actually comprises two netbook models, dubbed the 1025C and 1025CE, which both feature about the same specs.
The only difference is that the 1025CE comes equipped with two USB 3.0 ports and one regular USB 2.0 port with charging support, while the 1025C is limited to USB 2.0 connectivity.
The rest of the features list includes support for up to 2GB of DDR3 system memory (the standard version will feature only 1GB), a SATA hard drive with capacities ranging between 250GB and 500GB, and a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display with a native resolution of 1024x600.
Connectivity options include 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 (the latter only on selected models), and an HDMI output, but also support for the WiFi Direct technology that enables users to share date between devices without the need of a wireless access point.
When equipped with a 6-cell battery pack, the Asus Eee PC 1025C
laptops weight only 1.25kg (2.75 pounds) and should be able to deliver up to 12 hours of running time.
Pricing will start at $299 (about 233 EUR), but the netbooks will be available in various colors, eight for the Eee PC 1025C and three for the CE-version.
Users who want a more powerful configuration can also go for the Eee PC 1225B that comes in a similar configuration as the 1025CE, but swaps the
Cedar Trail Atom CPU for an E-450 Brazos APU and also packs a 12.1-inch (1366 x 768) screen.
Doing so will increase pricing to $499 according to
TechPowerUp, which translates into 390 EUR.
