Alright, so ASUS’ Eee PC 1005HA is certainly decent enough as it is, but we can’t help but think that the company is stretching things a bit with its new “business edition” of the netbook. Apparently, all that’s needed to earn that designation is Windows XP Professional for an OS, and a standard 2GB of RAM, which no respectable businessperson would ever be without. Otherwise, you’ll get the usual 10.1-inch display, Atom N280 processor, 160GB hard drive, and a promised 10.5 hours of battery life — all in the very same Seashell enclosure, of course. Still no official word on a release over here, but it looks like folks in Japan will be able to pick this one up on October 20th for just over the Yen-equivalent of $700.
