Being the supplier of various systems and computer parts, ASUS delivers new products all the time, although it looks like, in this instance, the company settled for updating a device that has been on the market for a fairly long while already.
ASUS has definitely not been allowing any of the recent developments on the IT market to dampen its spirits, or so it appears.
In this instance, it appears that the Eee PC 1015PN, a now well-known netbook, has received a CPU upgrade.
Granted, with tablets draining their buyer pool, that netbooks would get better and cheaper is not all that surprising, especially with Intel's unveiling of new Atom CPUs.
The new central processing unit at its heart is the Atom N570, a dual-core model that works at 1.66 GHz.
For the sake of comparison, the dual Atom N550 is what the product previously used, whose own frequency was 1.5 GHz.
The rest of the machine's feature set did not really suffer overmuch, although the update is not yet ready, what with it only being available for pre-order, or
so it is reported.
On the other hand, the price is fairly low ($369), especially considering the existence of the NVIDIA ION 2 GPU (512 MB of VRAM) and the 1 GB of DDR3.
Besides the above, the price will get buyers a hard disk drive with internal storage of 250 GB, a card reader, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, Ethernet and even 500 GB of WebStorage.
All the above, plus a 10.1-inch display with a native resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels (it uses LED backlighting) are kept running by a 6-cell battery which can last for up to 9 hours on a single charge.
Needless to say, the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter OS (operating system) is pre-installed on the machine.
