Is this the 1005P or PE? Because in the title you say PE but in the comments P

[NewGadgetsDE]

The only difference between P and PE is the harddisk, so it doesn't matter if it is the P or the PE in the video :)

[TheLcstyle]

I believe this is the 1001p not the 1005p or pe which reportedly have a glossy finish and a glossy lcd as well. this model also seems to have a chiclet keyboard, which goes against what we already know about the 1001p, which is reportedly not having a chiclet keyboard.

[NewGadgetsDE]

Of course it's the 1005P :) I think in germany it is available with a non-glossy display.

[GoFR101]

could you tell me where you purchased this from? Everywhere i look the 1005pe has a glossy top, not this textured carbon fiber looking top. I would very much prefer this design to minimize fingerprints and also it looks awesome. Thanks

[NewGadgetsDE]

It will be available with this carbon optic, but I don't know when.

[rasimjackson]

Yes it does.

The P has a matte display, the PE has a Color Shine glossy display.

The P has flat keys, the PE has chiclet style keys.

The P has 802.11 b/g, the PE has b/g/n.

Also bluetooth is a difference. Or is this just unconfirmed information? You responded really fast!

IGNOR that last post. Just re-installed windows 7 and got 9hrs playing mp3 on a loop. It must be that the other operating systems don't use the advanced power saving modes in the new atom cpu's or something. Let me know if you find a solution in ubuntu. Take it easy

[jamaus555]

 good luck

@redangel6425, i've had mine for 3 months now and only get 5hrs battery life. Started with 8hrs at a push when new. I thought it was the 7200rpm hard drive but i took it out and booted from the drive in a powered enclosure and only gained 1/2 hour. Tested with varrious linux distros and xp, but all the same. I've screwed my warranty when i changed the hard drive, but if i were you i would send it back or ask for a new battery. I fix computers for a living, it has to be a bad battery.

[redangel6425]

Hi, i have this netbook with ubuntu lucid os installed.

can u tell me how many hours of battery life u are getting with yours?

im only getting 5 to 6 hours batt life in this netbook that hast 48mah 6 cell batteries.

i wanna know if i need to ask the store to replace mine?

tnx for your help!

More advice for ASUS:

Create more models, so that people can order exactly the options they like.

Separate fashion and ergonomic options from the hardware choices.

Sure, having myriad options and user-customizable configurations, means logistical headaches for production but that's how you rule the Netbook roost.

So if Asus has a brain, the Ultimate model that everyone knows they want will be: 1010PE-LX 1. carbon fiber-no smudge look of 1001 model 2. soft palm rest 3. high-density, 14hr, 6-cell battery 4. 320 GB HDD 5. 1.3Mp camera 6. Digital array mic 7. 2GB ram installed 8. Chiclet keyboard 9. Choice of color-shine or matte display 10. Intel N470 1.83 GHz cpu ;-)
