ASUS Eee PC 1005PR Now Shipping from Amazon

The highly anticipated ASUS Eee PC 1005PR is finally out and shipping at the price of $399.99:

The best part about the ASUS Eee PC 1005PR and why it's so anticipated is the fact that it combines two things rarely (if ever) seen in a 10 inch netbook:

1. 1366 x 768 high resolution screen (usually it's 1024 x 600)
2. Broadcom Crystal HD Accelerator for HD video playback / gaming

Many 12 inch netbooks don't even have that high of a resolution screen. Combine that with the fact that it gets an estimated 11 hour battery life and coming in at just under $400 you can see why this is exciting. I don't need to buy another netbook right now but I just may sell my ASUS Eee PC 1008HA and upgrade to this one.
