CeBIT, a digital industry tradeshow that is to occur in Hannover – Germany next month between the dates of March 2nd-6th is expected to be the venue where Asus (TPE:2357) will announce the development of their three latest Eee PCs. The new Asus models are the 1015p, 1016p and 1018p. As the new models fall within the 1000 series, each is expected to come standard with 10-inch display screen and be powered by the Intel Atom N450 processor.

It’s believed that the 1015p is an upgrade to the earlier 1005p model but with a larger touchpad that distinguishes it from its predecessor. Additionally, the 1015p will sport a nicely finished aluminum body, a matte display, chiclet keys as well as a healthy battery life rated for 14 hours of up time provided that the wireless features have been disabled.

Second on the list is the 1016p which is said to be geared more towards the corporate client and will come with a more squared off design. Similar to the 1015p, the 1016p will also have chiclet keys, an aluminum chassis and a 14 hour battery life. No further details are available as to why this one is considered to be an enterprise product but possibly this model will include enhanced security features to minimize corporate risk in the event of theft or loss.

Lastly, the 1018p should also make its debut at CeBIT next month as the thinnest netbook available through Asus at this time. It will also have USB 3.0, a fingerprint scanner and a reduced battery rated for 10 hours of up time.
