Asus' Eee PC 1000 4G netbook

Asus' new Eee PC 1000 40G totally another beast compared to the earlier Eee PC series. Perhaps the most mature of this latest crop of netbooks, the 40G sports a 1.6GHz Atom processor, a 10" screen with 1024x600 display resolution, a 91% keyboard, 40GB of solid-state storage, and a six-cell battery. Of course, the Eee PC's form factor has grown to host this new goodness, and so has its price.

Asus looks intent to impress on the aesthetics front with the Eee PC 1000, which will be available in a number of colors, including a shiny black pictured above.

The technical specifications are as follows:

Processor: Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
