Isn't batterly life going to be badly affected with these new dual core processors?

@HK - good point. We've seen battery life skyrocket to 8 to 12 hours on recent netbooks, so if adding a little extra power to them brings it back down to 5/6 hours I think that's a compromise many could live with.

Finally a netbook worth having. Hope to see dual core CULV after this, I'm sure Ion 2 supports them so maybe Acer or Dell will have one out with CULV rather than Atom.

From the spec sheet it says 8 hour and recently asus netbooks have been fairly accurate but it will still have a real world battery life of about 5 hours. I will be surprized if this does come out with an atom 330 since it breaks many of intels 'rules' and many no-name netbooks which were reported to recieve some 330 goodness end up with an N270. Its also worth noting that this is a nettop processor (no N in front of it) like the atom 230 as opposed to a netbook processor like the N270/N280. Please can they just add a fricking touchscreen to the thing -its not that hard and it doesn't cost much more.

I got my NC10 a year ago for £275 and its seen plenty of use. My biggest bugbear is screen res and awful useless graphics but I knew about them limitations when I bought it. I would flog my NC10 for a ion2 powered netbook in a heartbeat...well, for the right price. Cant have them releasing it at £400 or anything stupid

@Andrew

Netbook "rules" are there by Microsoft so companies can't put XP onto non-Atom systems. With Windows 7 it stops being a problem so the term netbook just means "small laptop under £300".

Thats not the issue at all we all know about those rules. I'm talking about the fact that intel doesn't want to sell any atom 330's for use in netbooks - they think that they should use the CULV range instead if manufactures want to create a better than your average netbook experience.

since samsung example is selling the x120 with an intel su2700 cpu and with GMA 4500 graphics for around 470 pounds, i would be very (pleasantly) surprised really if asus doesn't ask 400 pounds or even more for this one...
