The Asus Eee PC 1215N we’ve been getting excited about is real and on its way. The rumoured specs we got hold of back in May suggesting that this successor to the Asus Eee PC 1201N is a netbook taking great strides, and now its official.
The Asus Eee PC 1215N means faster file transfers, with both Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0, plus a HDMI port (shared by its predecessor).
It’s also one of a small number of netbooks with a dedicated GPU, meaning there’s the capability to stream high definition video. The separate GPU comes courtesy of Nvidia, with its Optimus technology, which now turns on and off seamlessly, depending on which applications are being used.
The upshot of a dedicated GPU with Nvidia Optimus is that is that it could have an impressive battery life, comparable to Asus’ lower power netbooks. Currently, there’s no details about battery life, and no pricing or details about availability.
Asus could tell us though that the release will be some time around mid-August.
