ASUS Eee PC 1215N Looking Good For Late August/Early September Launch

Josh SmithAugust 9, 2010

The ASUS Eee PC 1215N, dual core netbook, is now available for pre-order in the UK at Amazon.co.uk and an official ship date of September 7th. This new pre-order information coincides with the US pre-order which started last month and had an ETA of shipping on August 31st. While there has been no official U.S. release date for the 1215N signs are pointing to a late August or Early September release.

The ASUS Eee PC 1215N is a surprisingly feature packed netbook that comes in at just under $500 while including an Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz Dual Core processor, NVIDIA ION2, NVIDIA Optimus, USB 3.0 and Bluetooth. The Eee PC 1215N also comes with Windows 7 Home Premium instead of the Starter edition found on many netbooks.

Given the low price and numerous features the ASUS Eee PC 1215N has the potential to set a new standard in the high end netbook/ultralight laptop range; that is if the battery can stand up to the Dual Core Atom processor that is typically found in nettops.
