14 DAY TRIAL // ASUS, the worldwide leading computer maker and developer of notebook designs, has recently announced the addition of a new product to its award-winning Eee PC lineup, the redesigned Eee PC 1002HA netbook. The new mobile machine features a stylishly revised chassis to which a brushed aluminum LCD cover and palm rest have been added. The new Eee PC 1002HA is advertised as a sophisticated, lightweight, easy-to-use netbook that brings a touch of elegance and utility to everyday computing.
The new Eee PC 1002HA has been designed with the need of mobility in mind, and users can now enjoy a machine that weights only 1.2kg, battery included, and is just 1-inch thick. In order to provide such a small weight and to preserve the durability of the Eee PC 1002HA at the same time, the computer maker used brushed aluminum for both the LCD and the palm rest, this way delivering a machine that feels exceptionally solid despite its thin stature.
The Eee PC 1002HA presents itself as the perfect choice for today's mobile users, which are seeking special features that would provide a user-friendly convenience to everyday computing. The 10” LED-backlit display (1024 x 600 pixels) delivers great image while consuming a small amount of power. The keyboard is also more than comfortable, being only 92 percent the size of a standard keyboard.
The Eee PC 1002HA packs a digital array microphone and a 1.3 megapixel built-in webcam, which allow users to hold mobile video conferences anytime and anywhere. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity, 802.11n wireless connectivity and built-in 4-in-1 card reader compatible with MMC, SD, Memory Stick and MS-PRO media formats, while a Multi-touch touchpad provides a means of interaction between user and multimedia files.
Both Linux and Windows XP Home edition operating systems are available on the new ASUS machine. Depending on their preferences, users can opt for either an easy-to-use, icon-based interface or the familiar Windows interface. In addition to the Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), which consists of the Power4 Gear Hybrid application and the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), designed for an intelligent power management, the Eee PC 1002HA also comes with an F9 Fast Recovery Key which delivers system recovery at a single touch.
