With regards to netbooks, a great deal of progress has been created with regard to design, usability, and gratification. Specifically customers who wish to spend the smallest amount of amount possible, there haven’t been many compelling choices.

Design
The Asus Eee PC 1001P has got the same Seashell-inspired design because previous few netbooks from Asus like the Eee PC 1005PE. That means it’s wider on the back the place that the battery is, and thinner within the front, with rounded edges and corners. But as the overall case design is quite a bit exactly like Asus netbooks past, there are a few subtle differences between the Eee PC 1001P and earlier models.Asus has replaced the common glossy lid having a matte finish having a textured pattern. Depending on what angle you’re at, the lid looks a bit like a subtle checkerboard or even a series of dots.The textured pattern also covers the palm rest perhaps the netbook, as the battery, bottom, and areas round the sides with the keyboard are found plain matte plastic.The matte display also is the netbook easier to use outdoors. The matte display doesn’t look practically a Pixel Qi screen outdoors. But with a cloudy day you might probably sit outside with this particular netbook and obtain some work done devoid of the screen serving double duty being a mirror.Despite the fact that the netbook has a matte lid as well as a matte screen, Asus tied to shiny black plastic for any bezel.Round the sides with the Eee PC 1001P you’ll find a VGA port, 3 USB ports, mic and headphone jacks, an Ethernet jack and an SDHC card slot.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Unlike the 1005PE-P, the 1001P doesn’t offer an island-style keyboard; rather, the keys (like those on the Dell Inspiron Mini 10) abut one another with the base, but are terraced and slightly smaller with the tops. Basically we didn’t mind the 1005PE-P’s keyboard, it was a bit easier to type to the 1001P, especially given the relative sized netbook keyboards.The white 2.5 x 1.4-inch touchpad is fairly simple distinguish; whilst it sits flush with the deck, it lacks a similar pattern. As opposed to the braille-like dots on the 1005PE-P, this touchpad has a matte surface that exhibited hardly any friction.ASUS equips the 1001P having a single mouse button. Unlike some netbooks we’ve tested, this implementation was comfortable to make selections round the desktop.

Performance
Configured with the 1.66-GHz Intel Atom N450 processor (Pine Trail), the 1001P offered performance similar to netbooks pre-loaded with Atom’s last-generation processors. This Windows 7 Starter Edition system scored 1,384 on PCMark05, 82 points shy with the netbook category average.In comparison with other Windows 7 Starter Edition netbooks with older Atom processors, the 1001P ran in the middle of the pack, beating the Samsung N140 (1,357) but falling well behind the Samsung N130 (1,514). The HP Mini 311, which packs an Intel Atom N270 chip and Windows XP Home Premium, managed 1,917. The 1001P scored 908, and that is about 50 points higher than the netbook average, and practically corresponding to the Dell Inspiron Mini 10.The 1001P’s 160GB hard disk completed our transfer test, by which we copy a 4.97GB mixed-media folder, at a rate of 17.5 MBps, and that is 1.3 MBps faster compared to category average but 8.6 MBps slower compared to 1005PE-P, which includes a 5,400-rpm, 250GB hard disk.

Battery
As it doesn’t reach the epic 10-hours-and-36-minute battery life with the 1005PE-P (which includes a 5800-mAh battery), the 1001P (which includes a 4400-mAh battery) is no slouch in regards to endurance, clocking in at 8:23 to the battery test. That’s almost three hours longer compared to category average, but over a half-hour in short supply of the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA, and 40 minutes a lot less than the Dell Inspiron Mini 10.
