Asus' N10 Non-Eee UMPC Gets Some Hands-On Action, More Specs
Posted by Kit Eaton at 6:57 PM on September 18, 2008
While information has been arriving in fits and starts on Asus' new N10 non-Eee ultra-portable, over at Laptopmag they got a teeny hands-on view of the PC. The 10-inch machine (which Asus was keen to stress as a notebook not a netbook) is due to come in N10E and N10J versions, with the main differences being the HDD and graphics: the E version has 160GB HDD and Intel integrated graphics, while the J version gets 320GB and a switchable Integrated Intel or Nvidia GeForce 9300 MS package that we mentioned before. The battery life is now quoted at "6 to 12 hours" with a six-cell battery, which sounds even more incredible than the previous 6.5 hour figure. Finally, the pricing for the N10E's been set at $US599, and the N10J's gone down to $US699, which should be welcome news for Asus fans. [Laptopmag]

Better looking than the EEE line, for sure, but eh.

not much better than the 1000h and at a $150 premium. Wish the resolution was better..

Well its a closer toss up between this and the HP Mini-note. This one's got expressgate and some vid card action... but if only they could've added that extra 200 resolution

The look of the machine itself is nice- reminds me of my A8JS.

Nice. Waiting to get one...
Need to sell my COMPAQ Presario 2500 (2545US) first. Any ideas on how much will I get on it ? Pentium4 - 2.4 GHz, 60 Gig HD, 512 MB DDR1 RAM.

@Jash Sayani: 100 bucks? Really, given that I can walk into walmart and for 500 bucks walk out with a brand new laptop packing a core 2 duo, I doubt you'll be able to get much for that at all.

The thick bezel is awful.
