#asus_eee_pc_1215 That's one heck of a "netbook"! I can't believe they put in two USB 3.0 ports in there, as well as HDMI, VGA, another USB (2.0) port, and a card reader! Let's see how much it will sell for.
Does anyone know what the difference between the 1215 and the 1215N is?

#asus_eee_pc_1215 The 1215N differs from the 1215 in the following:
* upgraded Bluetooth to version 3.0
* upgraded processor to Atom D525 which runs at 1833MHz (D510 @ 1667MHz) and supports DDR3 memory (D510 only DDR2)
But the D525 Atom is about six months newer than the D510 and was/is introduced in Q2, 2010, so that probably means we'll see the 1215N popping up on Amazon as late as October/November....
