The Eee PC 1005PR is the first 10 inch netbook from Asus with a high resolution 1366 x 768 pixel display. It was first spotted at CeBIT in Germany last week, but now Asus has posted an official product page for the mini-laptop.

Here’s a rundown of the specs:

* Display: 10.1? 1366 x 768 pixels
* Graphics: GMA 3150 + Broadcom BCM 70015 HD video accelerator
* CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450
* OS: Windows 7 Starter Edition
* Memory: 1GB (Max: 2GB)
* Storage: 250GB HDD (plus 500GB Asus WebStorage)
* Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, Ethernet
* I/O: VGA, mic, headphone, SDHC card slot, 3 USB ports
* Battery:Two options: 6 cell, 63Whr or 6 cell, 48Whr
* Dimensions: 10.3? x 7? x 1.4?
* Weight: 2.8

No word on pricing yet, but the Eee PC 1005PR should be available in April. And by all appearances, the netbook is virtually identical to the Eee PC 1005PE in most respects. The two key differences are the high resolution display at the Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator, both of which are likely to drive up the price. My guess is that we’ll see this model selling for about $50 more than a standard Asus Eee PC 1005PE.
