Asus Eee PC 1002HAE
Asus had added another Eee PC to their range with the launch of the Asus Eee PC 1002HAE.
The Asus Eee PC 1002HAE is based on the 1002HA, but this new model comes with a 1.6GHz N280 Intel Atom processor, a 160GB hard drive, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a 10 inch LCD screen.
The major change between the Asus Eee PC 1002HAE and the previous model is the casing, which is made from aluminum, which makes it lighter than the 1002HA at just 1.2kg.
The Asus Eee PC 1002HAE will go on sale in Japan later in the month for around $500, there are no details on when we will see this in the US and Europe.

So… its exactly the same, but now comes in red? Thats rather disappointing. I was hoping for an actual upgrade. Like, say, a 4 cell polymer instead of the 2 cell? The 1.66 Atom instead of the 1.60?
I wonder of the new shell is still aluminum, or if they had to go with plastic to give it color?

Ah, my mistake. It does come with the new Atom processor. Must of been spacing out. Well, thats slightly better I guess. Still kind of disappointing since the MAIN drawback of the 1002HA is the 2 cell polymer, which only gives you about 3.5 hours of real world battery life.
