Sneak Peek: ASUS Eee PC 1015T with AMD Nile platform
You might have caught a sign of the early sample back at Computex, and we reported it on earlier in the year right here at Tech in Style, but we’ve finally got our hands on the mass production model of ASUS’ new 1015T.

AMD’s latest V105 CPU based on its 2010 ultra-thin ‘Nile’ platform runs at just 9W, and what it loses in clock speed to competing parts, it makes up for in “desktop CPU” hardware.

Radeon HD 4000-series graphics in a 10.1″ netbook? Nice! Keep an eye on our RSS feed to to see when I’ve tested out a few games on this baby.
ASUS Eee Dock software
The new Eee Dock utility provides ninja fast access to ASUS webtools for those who use them. If you don’t use though, it then it can be easily disabled. Oh, and above, that’s the usual 0.3M pixel camera but now comes with an integrated camera cover for added privacy – now there’s no chance of someone remotely turning it on without you knowing!

Here’s something you don’t find on many, if any 10.1″ netbooks: a HDMI port. As part of its Radeon graphics, it has a universal video decoder built in under the ‘Avivo HD‘ brand, which takes the strain off the CPU. This means it’s not only an incredibly portable 10.1″ netbook that’ll fit in most bags, but plug into a monitor or HDTV and you’ve got 1080p playback thrown in, plus a massive hard drive to store all those movies on too! Win Double Win Triple Win!

Nick Holland – Portability and PC gaming are essential to Nick’s life. He’s enjoyed the latter since a very young age – eschewing consoles for customizability of a PC (with the finest backbones like the Asus P3B-F and A7V133) and the feel of a keyboard and mouse. As soon as he could afford a notebook he got one and things have rolled on from there into sleek DTRs (desktop replacements) netbooks, smartphones and he’s already eyeing up the latest tablets while trying to think up an excuse to own one. After writing about all things tech for several years it is only natural he sought to join the already awesome TiS team.
