Revealing on May 13 Asus Eee PC 1215N w/ dual-core Atom and Nvidia Optimus

Posted on 07. May, 2010 by Neil in Netbooks

Finally, a nice powerful netbook from Asus. The Eee PC 1215N really has us excited and it’s coming very soon. The internals for netbooks are going to be getting a nice performance boost soon and who’s better than Asus to get them first with how dedicated they are to the netbook industry. Look for the Asus Eee PC 1215N to be officially announced on May 13, 2010 but we already have a sneak peak at what Asus has planned.

The Eee PC is said to be including an Intel dual-core Atom CPU clocked at 1.5Ghz, the NVIDIA ION 2 GPU with Nvidia’s Optimus Technology which will allow for this netbook to switch from the Nvidia graphics and the integrated Intel graphics with ease. When you are using the Nvidia ION 2 you will see better performance when playing HD video content, including HD flash. The Nvidia ION 2 will be taxing on the battery life if it’s the only option but Asus has included the Optimus graphics switching technology which will downgrade you to the integrated graphics when you don’t need the ION 2 to save you precious battery life.

The price an scheduled date for sale will all be announced on May 13. Stick with us we’ll update you with more news on the Asus Eee PC 1215N.

Update: Looks like the new expected launch date is some time in June. We are just as disappointed as you are :( .
