Ever since the days of the subnotebook turned unicorn, the E-350 equipped 1215B.

Probably the 1215B since it comes in those 3 colors.

If you can replace the HDD with an SSD, do share a guide with us. AFAIK, replacing it would involve dismantling the unit and also voiding the warranty.

Pretty misleading in a way. Which reminds me I better fire off and email to Asus Malaysia and see if they have anything to say about it.

Nah, I don't work for Asus, I wish I did.

I'm just quite the Asus fan.

The problem with Malaysia is that the warranty might not be as easy as that as stated in the website as the people working in the service center are rather particular with that little warranty sticker.

You should consider 3M screen protectors.

AO522 would be a great choice, if the price is right. Otherwise the 1015B still beats it flat in terms of price/performance.

The A50M chipset for the E-350 already supports SATA3 natively. Won't be too surprised about the E-450's support.

Home Premium 64-bit would be the best. I find it hard to recommend any other version since most people would never use most of the features in Professional and Ultimate.

Well, if you just need mobility, they all will serve the same purpose.

If you are to consider other factors such as performance, battery life or multimedia, then each of them have their own specialization.

AMD Fusion would be the most balanced and powerful overall. The new Fusion lineup is still leaps and bounds over the last generation AMD procs. Battery life between the 1015B and 1015PX isn't that huge but still noticable. The 1015B might get around 5 hours to the 7 in the 1015PX. The main difference why people prefer the 1015B is that is is more powerful as a whole system (no small part by the HD6250M GPU) and is a lot cheaper at RM800 compared to the 1015PX.

The NB520 would be more suited if you are targeting a more multimedia type netbook since its speakers are amazing for such a tiny thing. But still, Atom would be the weakest link.

Based on user experience, 5 hours is achievable.

Nope. C-60 SKU is not being brought in here.

1025 is the new line of EeePC. It has a newer, slicker look thanks to its metallic surface and has the newer Ceder Trail Atom processors.

1025 has been announced for several months but it's not out yet. 1215 series has already been out since the beginning of the year.

Same seashell design case. Only internal hardware differs.

I'm expecting a 1225 variant that has N2800 with a HD6470M.
