Asus Netbook with Windows 7

Netbook with Windows 7 Asus Eee PC 1015PN

Netbooks with Windows 7 installed are ten a penny, so if you are looking for a netbook and you absolutely need one running Windows 7 then you have a choice between the starter version or a netbook running Windows 7 Home premium. Most people believe that you are actually far better off with Windows 7 Home Premium, the only slight problem is that it will cost you around $50 extra and given that netbooks are suposed to be cheap, anything that pushes the price up is a bit of a contradiction.

Asus Eee PC 1015PN with Windows 7

The new Asus Eee PC 1015PN Netbook with 1.5 GHz Dual Core Intel Atom N550 Processor which is possibly one of the best netbooks currently available, is advertised running both the starter and the Home premium version, but if you don't specify which you want you will probably get the sstater version by default. So make sure you specify that you want the Home Preium version before you part with any cash  - if you can afford it.

According to Asus the Eee PC1015PN is a major change from other netbooks. Most netbooks installa a single core Atom processor. The Eee PC1015PN on the other hand has a Intel Atom N550 dual core processor, which delivers speeds 23% faster at least than single core processor netbooks (according to Asus again).
