The Swirlish Eee PC 1011PX
Earlier this week Mrs. Mario introduced a netbook for the connoisseur, the Eee PC 1018P, which is clad in a sexy brushed aluminium. Well, Mrs. M, I see your aluminium netbook and raise you one with a swirl: the Eee PC 1011PX.
This is available in both black and white, with a flowing swirl pattern and alternating texturing on the lid. It’s not as strongly textured as the Eee PC 1015PW we previously covered, but it’s still just as enigmatic, although, without such strong effeminate colouring.

Intel Atom N570 Dual Core
Powering the 1011PX is an upgraded Intel Atom dual-core: the N570, which sees its clock-speed slightly boosted to 1.66GHz per core, all while keeping the same power draw of just 8.5W.
There are options for the Atom N455 too, and combined with ASUS Super Hybrid Engine tech gives both designs up to 11 hours of battery life, depending on the battery option you choose.
The rest is a mix of the usual netbook qualities from ASUS: 10.1″ LED backlit display (1,024 x 600), ergonomic chiclet keyboard, ExpressGate and Windows 7 dual OS, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a range of battery and hard drive options depending on your region.

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.
