Since the initiator from the netbook craze that is taken the tech sector by storm with its authentic Eee Computer 701, we’re continuously hoping Asus will inject some desirability back to the fairly staid netbook marketplace. And even though visually not much has transformed through the Asus 1005 PE, the company’s new Asus 1015 PEM has really several neat tricks up its slender sleeve, such as this kind of highlights as being a dual-core Atom CPU and USB 3.0 connectivity. Is it enough to lift this netbook over its peers?

Like other higher-end netbooks (now there is an oxymoron if ever there was one), the Asus 1015 PEM uses Intel’s N550 Atom processor, offering dual cores that run at one.5GHz. It still will not give you even shut towards the same performance as being a mid-range laptop computer CPU, but does facilitate smoother multi-tasking and (non-HD) Flash video clip, as well as undemanding 720p content.
