Asus unveils the brushed-metal Eee PC 1002HA

We first saw details on the Eee PC 1002HA back in late-October. Asus has recently shown the netbook off at a media event and with that comes a nice image.

Feature wise, this model is nothing to get overly excited by. Most of the features are the same as we have come to see as “normal” for a netbook. To begin with, the Eee PC 1002HA will have a 10-inch display, as well as an Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.1n and it will be running Windows XP. Otherwise, the 1002HA will also have a few available options for storage including both SSD and standard hard drives.

Moving on from the specs, the exterior casing is what makes this particular model stand out. The exterior is sporting a pretty nice looking brushed metal. It was also noted as being “a sturdy, upscale-looking chassis.” In addition to the brushed metal on the exterior, the wrist rest also includes the brushed metal.

As for pricing and availability, the Eee PC 1000HA is expected to begin shipping in early-December and start at $499 and go up depending on configuration.
