It was rumored back in August, and was due for a September release, but even at a month late, we’re happy to see the new ASUS 1015PN.  The 1015PN is a familiar site on the netbook front with its 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600  screen and familiar design.  Under the hood, though, it has a brand new dual-core Atom N550 processor, 1GB of RAM, 250GB HD, and most importantly, NVIDIA Ion 2 graphics with Nvidia’s new Optimus switching tech.

All of that impressive hardware  means an estimated 9.5 hours of longevity on a charge.  It’s expected to sell in the US for $429, but we haven’t found it in any stores yet.
