Asus Eee PC 1005PR gets HD video accelerator

At first glance, the Asus Eee PC 1005PR looks pretty much like any other Eee PC 1005PE model, although that perception will change the moment you power it up. Your eyes will definitely appreciate the 1,366 x 768 resolution on its HD display, and thanks to the inclusion of the integrated Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator, this is one netbook that is able to handle HD video playback with aplomb. First paraded earlier last month, you can now place a pre-order for this puppy on Amazon for around $400. Among the specifications include an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor, a paltry 1GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth connectivity.
