Asus Unveils First Four N Series Laptops

All based on Intel platforms, the four N series laptops announced – the N10, N20, N50 and N80, include features like the Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) which automatically allocates power depending on computing load in order to preserve battery life, the Linux-based Express Gate operating system that can boot up in just 8 seconds, and SmartLogon, a facial recognition system that makes than fingerprint reader look like a blast from the past.

The smallest N series laptop offered by Asus, the 10-inch LCD-equipped N10 has previously been detailed :

“We pretty much knew that the Atom-powered N10 laptop won’t go cheap and the price tag posted on J&R’s website comes as confirmation. At $849, the N10 is the most expensive Atom-equipped machine around but the price is relatively justified as it features a LED backlit 10-inch LCD screen, 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 250GB hard drive, a secsi shiny shell, a fingerprint reader and Windows Vista Business.

In addition to those above, the N10 come with dual graphics, the integrated graphics card and a GeForce 9300M GS. Of course they won’t be able to work together in a hybrid configuration but the user will have the possibility of switching between them depending on graphics needs. The N10’s retail release date is still unknown but that just gives us more time to think about spending $849 on an Atom laptop. “

 and it is equipped with an Atom 1.6 GHz CPU, up to 2GB of RAM and up to 320GB of storage space, a 1.3 megapixel camera, plus GeForce 9300M GS graphics. The 12.1-inch N20 and 14.1-inch N80 both make use of Core 2 Duo (T9400/P8600/P8400/P7350/T5800) processors and can be equipped with up to 4GB of RAM, 320GB of storage, a 1.3 megapixel camera and either a DVD writer or a Blu-Ray combo drive.

Also powered by Core 2 Duo CPUs, the 15.4-inch N50 has a built-in air ionizer which should freshen up the air around the user and can have a maximum of 4GB of RAM, a 500GB SATA hard drive and a 2 megapixel camera. All N series laptops can come with Windows Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business or Ultimate) pre-installed with the N10 also adding Windows XP to the mix.
