ASUS Eee PC 1005HR Netbook with 1366 x 768 HD Display Unboxing

Here is the 10.1” ASUS Eee PC 1005HR netbook with a 1366 x 768 HD display. I’ve been waiting for this for ages from ASUS, at least on paper. The main feature with the 1005HR is the display. This is their first 10-inch netbook with a resolution higher than 1024 x 600. The other features remain the same as previous Eee PC Seashells.

I don’t know about availability in other countries, but it’s been available here in Japan since the end of October but stock has been pretty low or non-existent until today.

Specs for the Eee PC 1005HR:

• 10.1” 1366 x 768 display (glossy)
• Atom N280 processor
• 802.11n Wi-Fi
• GMA 950 Graphics
• 1GB RAM
• 250GB HDD

• 6-Cell Battery (8.5 Hours)

Looking at a 10.1” 1366 x 768 in person I know this is just too much resolution at this display size for me but I know there will be plenty of people excited about this. I am going to give the 1005HR a go, just for the screen and comparing battery life with the Eee PC 1005HR.

Comparing the Eee PC 1005HR to the HP Pavilion DM1 and Samsung N140 netbooks:
