Asus has gone and shipped off its new Eee PC 1015PN netbook to Europe, the company's first to be built around Nvidia's Ion 2 platform.
Ion 2 gives the 1015PN some pixel pushing punch by way of a GeForce GT218 GPU, and to keep the 6-cell battery from prematurely crapping out when all you're trying to do is surf the Web, the 1015PN also comes with Nvidia's Optimus graphics switching technology.
Other spec include an Intel Atom N475 processor clocked at 1.83GHz, 1GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Windows 7 Starter.
Most European vendors have the 1015PN listed at around $500.

no CD/DVD burner....two things will solve this problem for all the netbook devs.
1. Include at minimum an 8GB USB key (3.0 spec)
2. Maximum PC writes a How-To on everything there is to know about making a USB key bootable, and how to burn an ISO to one. Or, The Murph finds a freeware app that convinces the netbook that the USB key is a CD/DVD burner and an app that convinces the netbook owners real computer that the USB key is a CD/DVD.
3. Most MaxPC readers can manually do this now....but for the general public....
I really, truly hate the new Captchs lol

I bet that is one snappy little bastard. I have Win7 Home Premium on my Acer AspireOne (the older one) with 1gb of ram, and though I don't have any complaints, I would never scoff at even more performance! I do take my netbook with me 95% of the time, so it sees way more action than my 17in notebook with 3gb of ram (also running 7).
