The second option will be basically be the same but will integrated NVIDIA’s ION 2 technology for a more robust graphics solution. Expect the 1015PN to run just a bit higher in price and it should be available in September.
I am dubious as to the performance benefits the new Z550 will offer this already overwhelmed platform especially considering we have already seen dual-core processors in handful of netbooks; remember the Eee PC 1201N using the first ION platform? If Intel and ASUS can offer the same levels of performance with better battery life though, we are all for it.
