Asus has revealed the higher-end 10.2-inch netbook that is simply labeled “N10″ without carrying the Eee brand, which probably is an attempt to introduce the netbook as part of luxury division lineup. It will come in a more elegant casing, with 10.2-inch display running at 1024 x 768, Altec Lansing speakers, HDMI out, three USB 2.0 ports, VGA, what looks to be an ExpressCard slot and an SDHC slot. Connectivity will include Bluetooth and WiFi; there’s also a built-in webcam and fingerprint reader. Price and availability is TBD, but DigiTimes are predicting the N10 will retail between €300 to €400 ($446 to $595). We’ll keep you posted for more development. [SlashGear]

It’s NOT under $600 (nice but way off guess)
I’ve seen this live.
It’s very beautiful. The body looks tough and very masculine. This
looks so much like a business computer. The graphics are incredible
and of course, the key is the fingerprint ID. That itself costs 150
bucks.
Everything is the same, save for the Windows Vistas. Netbooks may go
the Vistas way and jack up the price. That’s another $100 bucks.
250 MB is a LOT. I don’t know why anyone would want so much room in
his or her computer, but my advice is to back it up at a external HD.
Virus and all. The more junk in your computer, the more places to
infect/hide.
It’s Heavy. Trust me when I say this computer is truly heavier than
the other netbooks. Again, businessmen would love this as it looks
and feels tough. $825 is the price (in Asia).
You look at it, you’d fall in love with it. At that price, the
speed, the softwares, and the graphics would “warrant” the price. But
if you want a netbook just for a netbook’s price, this is way
overpriced. But it’s justified and it’s for those who want a netbook
that is closer to the traditional notebook. Pros and cons. I like
it. But I wouldn’t buy it after thinking about it for a day or two.
