This is not the first time we have seen the 1000HV for back in 2008 it was leaked along with a bunch of other ASUS models. Now we are getting more details on said system.

Things to expect include a 10.1 inch screen with 1024x600 display, 1.66GHz Atom N280 CPU, 160GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM as well as VGA out. You will be glad to know that there is an AMD HD 3450 graphics set underneath.

So far that is all we know. But we will be releasing more info as it comes to life.

The Eee PC 1008HA "Seashell" has basically just started to get recognized and, instead of letting the machine soak up the press, ASUS has decided to announce new variations of the 1008HA, and only a day after. But these new netbooks are not the 1005HAB that was tipped off on ASUS' support site. They are, however, the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-M and the 1005HA-H.

The 1005HA-M and 1005HA-H have the same slim styling as the "Seashell" but with a few added upgrades. Both computers have removable batteries, both 6-cell for each computer good for up to 8 hours of battery life.

The 1005HA-M takes a lower end approach coming in with a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 160GB hard drive, and 1GB of RAM and Wi-Fi and a 1.3 megapixel webcam but does not support Bluetooth.

The 1005HA-H is mostly the same as the "Seashell" as far as integral gears go with a few differences. The 1005HA-H has two USB 2.0 ports, keeps the 1.66GHz Atom Processor, supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 1 GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive. Both the 1005HA-H and 1005HA-M have 10-inch WSVGA 1024 x 600 displays with the 1005HA-H adding a glossy coating.

Connectivity wise, both computers contain 3 USB 2.0 ports, audio in/out, ethernet, and a 2-in-1 card reader. The measure about 10mm thicker than the Eee PC 1008HA and also weigh about 0.3kg more.

The ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-H comes with a price tag of $473 and the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-M comes in at $405. Both machines come in either black or white colors and should go on sale in France by the end of July with a release in the U.S. sometime after that.

Every once in awhile we decide to bring you something totally bizarre or funny in the laptop world. This time our attention turns to the Eee PC manufactured by ASUS.

As you can plainly see from the photo above, someone at ASUS thought it better to use tape to secure parts in place then using something a little sturdier. At any rate it is a beauty to look at an Eee PC 1008HA (if you're geeky like us).

And since this runs as good as it looks, we have no complaints.

If you've been keeping up with this blog, you would have remembered that Asus demoed the Eee PC 1101HA back at Computex. Well they have not given it an official release date, but Notebook Italia is claiming the beast of a netbook is coming to Europe by months end. More importantly the device (according to them) will retail for the U.S equivalent of $560.

This is for a system that packs a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor, Intel GMA graphics, 1GB of random access memory, 160GB hard disk drive and Window's XP to boot.

While we have heard rumors of a 3G version of said laptop that is yet to be clarified. Check out the video below.

Its not everyday Disney makes a succesful bid for the control of your kids tech lives. And so far most of what we have seen has fallen way below the success line. But it seems they might have just hit the jackpot as GadgetMix.com is reporting that Disney is working with ASUS to bring a netbook geared specifically towards kids.

The color choices will be limited with "Princess Pink" and "Magic Blue" as the starting colors. There will also Micky Mouse icons available for the netbooks.

On the software end, the device will come packed with a Disney interface (Linux derived), as well as parental controls and such. There will be themes available form Toy Story (third installment of the film coming next year), Wall-E and of course Mickey Mouse as well as other themes.

The specs don't say much though as it comes with the standard 8.9-inch Eee PC screen, 16GB of SSD or 160GB HDD and your usual 1GB of RAM. Release date is yet to be finalized but if you are interested in picking one of these bad boys up when they become available, be willing to dish otu three Benjamin's and a Grant (hence $350).
