ASUS Eee PC 1015PN-PU17

I just recently put an order in for a new netbook, not that anything is wrong with the one I have (its fast and has windows 7 pro) but the ASUS Eee 1015PN series has a dual core atom processor(unlike my current single core atom) so it can run windows 7 or Vista 64bit editions. The netbook comes with 1GB of DDR3 RAM so I went ahead and bought a 2GB stick of DDR3 SODIMM from crucial.com which was only $25 dollars and both the crucial.com ram and the laptop had free shipping.

But the main reason I bought the netbook is because it has an nvidia ION 2 graphics chip although not top-end by any means but for a netbook it is. It also has nvidia optimus technology. They claim you can play WoW even though I do not play that game. It does have decent but not top end graphics. For a netbook however this is break through.
