Today in Tales from ASUS we bring you the story of the 10.1-inch Eee PC 1005PR. While we didn't catch this one hiding out in the overflowing CeBIT booth (http://www.engadget.com/tag/cebit/), it appears big A has gone and swapped out the screen on the 1005PE (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/asus-eee-pc-1005pe-review/) for one with a 1366 x 768-resolution and tucked a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/broadcoms-next-crystal-hd-tech-to-liven-up-hd-capabilities-of-n/) inside, which means the little lappie should be able to handle some YouTube HD (at least after you download 10.1 Beta 3 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/)). Nothing special apart from that, as it's standard netbook down the line: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450, 1GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive. No word on pricing or availability, but we're guessing it'll probably come in at under $400, like the Dell Mini 10 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/dell-mini-10-with-broadcom-crystal-hd-accelerator-review/) and HP Mini 210 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/). It may not be a bad deal in the end, but we're still holding out for the Ion 2-equipped 1201PN (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/asus-eee-pc-1201pn-and-eee-top-2010pnt-with-ion-2-caught-loungin/) and for ASUS to someday slow down the frenetic pace of Eee PC iteration.ASUS Eee PC 1005PR packs Broadcom Crystal HD and high-res screen (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/asus-eee-pc-1005pr-packs-broadcom-crystal-hd-and-high-res-screen/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:05:00 EST.
