The latest Asus Eee PC models have hit shelves in the UK. The new 10in Eee PC 1000(H) and 1000 retail for £349 and £369 respectively.

The new models incorporate Intel's Atom processor and offer Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity.

Both are housed in a larger chassis than their predecessors, catering for the bigger 10in screen and a slightly larger keyboard.

The 1000(H) model uses a traditional 80GB hard drive and runs Windows XP as standard. It weighs in at 1.45kg.

Although running Linux as standard, the 1000 model is slightly more expensive but uses a 40GB solid state hard drive and weighs just 1.33kg.

Asus claimed that the Atom processor and other design enhancements mean that the 1000 series can provide up to 7.5 hours of battery life.
