14 DAY TRIAL // Asus will soon introduce a new Eee PC model in its netbook lineup, the 1025C, which is expected to become one of the first such devices to make use of Intel's recently launched Cedar Trail platform for low-power mobile devices.
The Cedar Trail platform is comprised out of Cedarview Atom processors and of the NM10 chipset, the latter also being used in the previous Pine Trail netbooks and nettops.
Outside of support for these new processors, the netbook's configuration will pretty much resemble that of the other solutions the company has available currently and the unit spotted at the FCC offices featured a 250GB hard drive as well as 802.11b/g/n WiFi networking.
The rest of the connectivity options include Bluetooth 3.0, and USB 3.0, as well as an HDMI output for connecting the netbook to an external display or HDTV.
The only thing that seems out of its place in the pictures provided by the FCC is the charger that Asus uses for its upcoming creation, as this resembles a lot more what we are accustomed to see accompanying a mobile phone.
However strange it may look, this isn't the first time that Asus went with such a charger as a similar design was also used for the Eee PC 701.
When fully charged, the Eee PC 1025C is expected to provide up to 14 hours of running time.
The model that was on display at the FCC offices came with a white lid, but Asus will most probably also release a series of other colorways.
The release date or the pricing of the Eee PC 1025C are unknown at this time, but judging by the FCC visit this should become available recently.
Other netbook manufacturers are also expected to launch solutions based on the Atom Cedar Trail platform in the near future. (via liliputing)
