While we still consider the Asus Eee PC 1005PE a current gen netbook stalwart, we’ve been impatiently waiting for the next batch of Eee PCs to ship since making their debut in March. Good news is they’re scheduled to ship in August in the US, with some shipping today already.

Model differences

The Asus Eee PC 1018p is said to have a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 doing the processing, a 250GB SATA hard drive, 1GB of RAM and will help usher in USB 3.0 technology on netbooks through the three USB ports on the computer.

The Asus Eee PC 1016p is a slight step up with the same 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor and the three USB 3.0 ports setup, but with a bump up in both RAM and hard drive capacity. The Asus Eee PC 1016p has 2GB RAM and a more spacious 320GB SATA hard drive.

The Asus Eee PC 1015p was initially scheduled to arrive later than the 1016P and 1018p but is already shipping from Best Buy’s site for US customers (along with the 1018p). According to Best Buy’s site (Asus has no official info up itself yet) it has an Intel Atom N450 processor (as opposed to the Intel Atom N455 processor in the other two), 1GB of RAM, and a 250GB SATA hard drive, too. And, unlike its beefier siblings, it sports USB 2.0 as opposed to USB 3.0 slots (which seems odd, so take that with a pinch of salt).
