    News - ASUS launches dual-core netbooks

    Dual-core Atom CPU? Ion 2? 9.5 hours battery life? The 1015PN has it all.

    Bah, I almost got excited at the spec until I saw the resolution
    Looks like I'll have to get an NF310 imported instead...

    true... the low res does not really make it worth upgrading if you already have a netbook.

    but the NF310 looks really bad, like a 3 year old designed it. ASUS wins hands down on the style front.

    Not too keen on the whole dual-core netbook thing. I mean if I really need the extra power on the go surely I would use a laptop that also offers a higher-res screen? I find the Acer netbooks look much better than Asus ones - meh personal preference I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up.

    I think Dual-Core is great one core for OS/Antivirus one core for me. Ok it does not help straight line speed however the interactivity of the system is so much better.

    Its not so much the dual core side of things that the NF310 offers its the HD screen my N220 is useable but the screen res is the real killer on it tbh...
