Asus Eee PC 1005PE

Editors' rating: 4 out of 5

The good: First Netbook with new Intel Atom N450 CPU; fantastic battery life.

The bad: Lacks modern Netbook upgrades such as HD display, extra RAM; only minor performance boost over previous versions.

The bottom line: As the first next-gen Intel Atom Netbook, Asus' Eee PC 1005PE offers amazing battery life, but otherwise feels like a last-gen system.
