ASUS restructures its naming to its netbook range apparently with the appearance of ASUS Eee PC R051BX. There are no official statement from ASUS yet whether the seashell line up is gone or there is a new model line with a new chassis design.
What we know is that the ASUS Eee PC R051BX comes with 1.0GHz, AMD C-60 CPU, a gig of DDR3 RAM and 320 GB Hard Drive. There will be configurations that may come up later. Connectivity wise, there will be HDMI since the C-60 is capable of 1080p output. The 10.1 inch netbook also has 2 USB 2.o, VGA, SD card reader and Ethernet ports.
Looking at the unit's specs, this looks like a stripped down 1015BX since it only has 2 USB ports and no USB 3.0. It only has 3-cell battery rated at 2200mAH that will give 4-5 hour battery life, but in real world application it should be around 2-3 hours of autonomy.
The price of this device is about € 250 MSRP, very inviting since it has Radeon 6290 that offers DirectX 11 support.
