Laptop Magazine, Engadget and Geek.com recently had a presentation with an ASUS representative showing off the N10. The ASUS representative stated on multiple occasions that the N10 is a “notebook, not netbook”.

When looking at the specifications of the N10, there are quite a few similarities to the Eee PC. But they’ll be some features that aren’t found in an Eee PC.

There will be two models of the N100 available, N10E and N10J. The N10E will start at $599 while the N10J will retail for $699. For the extra money it gets you a larger hard drive and switchable graphics.

The N10 comes with a 10 inch screen, with a resolution of 1024 x 600, 2GB of RAM, 1.6HGZ Atom processer and an ExpressCard slot. You’re also find a fingerprint reader, SmartLogon facial recognition, bluetooth and wlan as welel as a DisplayPort Video Out.

The N10E will come with a 160GB hard drive while the N10J will come with a 320GB hard drive. The N10E will also come with intergrated intel graphics where as the N10J will have switchable graphics of either Intergrated Intel or Nvidid GeForce 9300 MS.

You can expect to get 6 to 12 hours of battery life with it’s 6-cell battery. Both models will come with Windows Vista, but there will be an option to downgrade to XP.
