same as 1001p-pu17? Other than the outer finish (glossy vs. texturized), keboard style ("chiclet" vs. standard), and screen (color-shine vs. matte), is this netbook any different than the Asus 1001P-PU17 (available for pre-order but not yet released)?

AJB, you are correct that they are not the same, they are indeed quite different. You hit on almost all of the differences, here are the other two: - the 1005PE-MU17 has 802.11 b/g/n whereas the 1001P-PU17 has 802.11 b/g - the 1001P-PU17 has Bluetooth and the 1005PE-MU17 does not

The primary differences between these two models is 1) the PU17 has a better battery (rated up to 13 hours instead of 10 hours with the MU17) 2) the PU17 has Bluetooth 3.0 and the MU 17 has no Bluetooth 3) the PU17 comes in black, blue, red, and white while the MU17 only comes in black, blue, and white You can compare the differences between the ASUS Eee PC product lines at this link: http://commercial.asus.com/category/overview/17

I own one. It weighs less than the 1000H. The screen brightness is fine -- I run it at about 50% and that's fine. When spare batteries become available, I may pick one up -- the battery is so small and light that even carrying a spare it will weigh less than the 1000h. The case does not show fingerprints, which to me was a biggie. The touchpad is better -- this is the first computer where I don't feel the need to carry a mouse. It all depends on what is important to you. For me, the lack of fingerprints, the weight difference, and the touchpad made me go for the 1002ha. If you don't mind the extra weight and fingerprints and not-as-good trackpad, if you want the extra battery life, if you really do want a brighter screen, and you want the better speakers, then the 1000h is a better choice.

I must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs)Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

I too want the GPS version, and i wish they kick the ram to 2GB and switch to the better Atom N instead of the old fashioned Z!! c'mon Asus, this isn't a cheap netbook after all..throw us some good specs!

Hey, I have a Asus 1015PED and I have done some research and this will work. Have I acctually installed it, no. It is on it's way to me though and I will keep you up to date.The info on the Asus Netbook is DDR3, so, it will work. But there is only one slot, so we'll have to remove to 1gig in there now, and replace it with this 2gig.I will let you know when I get mine to confirm it works, but with all the research I've done, I am 100% sure it will work. I wouldn't have bought the netbook or the memory if I was even 1% unsure.Hope that helps.

Is it okay to pre-order when there is clear confusion on the specs available. I feel its like buying a pig in a pork. I guess the best option will be to wait until the specs are updated.

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

In newegg.com page details for this netbook says 3.21lbs,ASUS page http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1215B/#specifications says 1.45kgs with 6cell battery (3.2 lbs)I think amazon has it wrong

I am hoping so. I like the matte. So much so I really wanted the HP chromebook 13" but was turned off by the high gloss screen. I will just hang on to my original Samsung Chromebook for now.

They are IPS screens - supposed to be amazing. Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/acers-aspire-s7-ultrabooks-coming-october-26th-starting-at-1200/ (or many other sites across the web :)

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

I believe it was the exact same model and therefore specs because the model number is an exact match. That is how I found this Amazon page. I plugged the model number into Google. I wanted to see what others thought about this netbook as we bought it after only a few minutes of shopping. This isn't my normal style but we bought it for our son-in-law who flew out tonight and we wanted him to have a computer.

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

Thanks for the response...the first 2GB i received from Amazon actually seemed to slow DOWN my netbook...esp noticeable after i replaced it with the 1GB to see if the hanging shutdown would go away (which it did)...so my question to you is...do you notice ANY enhanced performance from the 800 mHz 2GB install?

I have no idea. I bought one and it never worked. Sent it back and received another one. It lasted two weeks and it stopped working. I slammed it against a wall and went out and bought my granddaughter an ASUS netbook and she loves it.
