ASUS’ N10 netbook – the one that most definitely is not an Eee, remember – has been officially announced in Korea. The ultraportable is known to have a 10.2-inch LED backlit display and use Intel’s Atom N270 1.6GHz processor; however thanks to the BGR and a leaked ASUS presentation, we now know the full specs of the two N10 variants the company will be launching in the US.
The two models are the N10J-A1 and N10J-A2. The former has Vista Home Premium and a 160GB 5,400rpm SATA HDD; the latter has a choice of Vista Business or XP Pro and a 250GB 5,400rpm HDD. Both have 2GB of RAM, hybrid graphics (the N10 can be switched between an NVIDIA GeForce Go 9300M GS 256MB or Intel GMA950 onboard graphics) and an ExpressCard slot.
Ports include three USB 2.0, one HDMI, ethernet, external monitor and audio connections. There’s also a 1.3-megapixel webcam, fingerprint reader, WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. A 6-cell battery is supplied, with u to 6.5hrs use quoted.
The N10J-A1 has a MRSP of $749, while the N10J-A2 is at $849. No word on availability in the US, but ASUS have said the N10 will hit Korean shelves this month.

its not very comfortable!
@ kruzhki.org: wow! that is a very convincing statement!
If you are looking for something comfortable buy yourself a couch !
The laptop is nice and i bet it will sell well.
The 701 which was LESS comfortable sold well.
Price will be the key point to its success though.
3.5 lbs?
Just got it in the Post yesterday. It is VERY comfortable for a mini notebook (or netbook, if you rather). It’s no desktop replacement, but then again, it’s not supposed to be. Great for traveling where all I need is email and doc writing/viewing and the occasional check up of my WOW Character (although I wouldn’t want to play a dungeon on it). Need to lug a DVD drive around with it for that, but no big deal, just get a portable slim one (samsung make a nice usb one). I’ve also used it for DJing with Numark’s total control and Cue. Glad I got the downgrade version though, as XP runs faster than vista on this little guy. If you’re in the market for a mini notebook/netbook, this was a great choice for me after alot of consideration for the competition (such as the Aspire, Wind or even the EEE1000). The Atom performs great when doing one thing at a time and with the nVidia graphics on, the 3D is actually pretty decent with low-mid quality settings. A bit pricey for the size you might say, but worth every penny.
hwo are you finding it for this? any pops, crackles or latency issues with the Atom?
ive been runing Traktor Sract on an EEE PC for months now, but was thinking of upgarding to an N10.
