Asus EEE PC 1101HA-WP – new 11 inch netbooks with Windows 7
It’s time for another Asus netbook, this time called EEE PC 1101HA-WP, a slightly improved version of the 1101HA I tested earlier this year. Chassis, construction and aspect are the same, the 11.6 inch display is also similar. In fact, the only differences are inside.
This device offers the low power Atom Z520 CPU, along with 2 GB of RAM and a bigger 250 GB hard-drive. GMA 500 is still in charge of graphics, so decent performances are expected (1080p video playing included). Of course, the improved hardware was meant to offer a better support for the new Windows 7 OS. The device comes with Win 7 Home and should be able to run it decently, although the RC1 Win 7 Ultimate i tested in the summer on the 1101HA (with only 1 GB of RAM) was pretty sluggish from time to time and kept deactivating Aero when running several applications simultaneously. I noticed that with the new OS, autonomy dropped from 11 hours to only 8 (both on paper), but maybe this version has a somewhat smaller battery inside.

Asus announced the 1101HA-WP only for Japan for now, for the equivalent of $410 . A similar 11.6 inch netbook from Asus should be available in the US soon, for a similar price.
