It was ASUS that have started the netbook craze when it debut the EEE PC laptop. All other manufactures have also developed their own version of netbooks. The closest contender that has surpassed ASUS is Acer. The release of Acer’s Aspire One shows that it out classed ASUS EEE PC.

That’s not for long as ASUS have release their latest version of netbook the N10J-A2 model. This is a good jump from the previous EEE PC’s as there’s some really cool technology included. The facial recognition and fingerprint identification, built-in 802.11 and Bluetooth wireless and web cam are some goodies which are new. The use of Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor in N10J-A2 is also a new one. There netbook comes with Windows Vista Business which is much better than Windows XP for Acer’s Aspire One. The display monitor of 10.2 inch is better than the smaller 8.9 inch.

The graphics are also superb with NVIDIA GeForce 9300M graphics card. ASUS N10J-A2 comes with 2 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive a much better configuration than Aspire One. These comparisons are not really close as the price of ASUS’s N10J-A2 is a bit high which is pegged at $830 US. In my opinion this is a better model release, but this is not entirely the usual low cost budget netbook available around the market. Asus N10J-A2 is a new breed of portable computer in between a netbook or notebook.
