The new ASUS 1015PN launched, finally, and while the specs aren’t exactly mind-blowing. The graphical capacity of this little monster is definitely worth the $429 price tag.
Inside, the ASUS Eee 1015PN is pretty standard. It comes equipped with a dual-core Atom N550 processor and 1GB of RAM (that’s not so good in case you aren’t technologically inclined.) In addition, you’ll get 250 GB of storage on-board.
Now that we’re done with the boring stuff, let’s talk about the exciting. This 10.1 inch machines is tricked out with a 1024 X 600 LCD display capable of beaming high-definition graphics to your brain. And to help ease that process along and keep the processor and RAM from being overwhelmed, ASUS was nice enough to throw in NVIDIA Ion 2 graphics. The GPU features Optimus technology which essentially makes your new machine a power-sipping debutant rather than a colossal energy suck like most PCs of this size.
But how much does that really save? Official word is that a single charge will last up to nine and a half hours. Not too shabby.
You may find cheaper PCs out there and you may find smaller PCs but you won’t find one with that sort of picture-perfect oomph anywhere—unless price isn’t an option for you. They’re on sale now at your local Internet dealer, so get shopping.
