The 1005P runs on an Intel Atom N450 processor, with an ASUS Super Hybrid Engine technology and an Express Gate. That means you can multi-task: work on your reports and presentations while checking your social networks (*ehem*FACEBOOK*ehem*) and listening to music. You can do all these and more without even plugging in the unit for several hours. The 6 cell battery can last to as long as 11 hours.
And it has a 10.1″ LED display, an ergonomic keyboard, and a multi-touch touchpad. It weighs only 1.27 kilograms even with a 6 cell battery.
Here are the other specs:

• Display: 10.1″ LED Backlight WSVGA Screen (1024 x 600)

Best thing about this lightweight high performance netbook? It’s only PhP19,900 (with a Windows 7 Starter OS and a 250GB hard disk) and PhP18,500 (with no OS but with a 320 GB hard disk). So you won’t go broke buying this powerful gadget for your school, work and entertainment needs.
Plus Asus Ph has a promo until August 31, 2010. You get a free ODD, an Asus Slim External DVD-RW drive, when you buy an Asus Eee PC 1005P.
