Asus first to out dual core Atom N550 processor

Asus gets first dibs by beating its rivals to the punch, rolling out their first dual core Intel Atom N550 1.5 GHz processor, making its way to the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM – everything else is more or less the same as with the 1015PE, save for the dual core processor. This means you will be able to enjoy features such as a 10.1? display at 1024 x 600 resolution, up to 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a GMA 3150 graphics chipset and 720p support. You can choose from red, black, white and pink colors, where it ought to hit Europe first for 349 Euros, followed by Singapore next week. Those living in the UK will have to wait until October, but no word on a Stateside announcement so keep your eyes peeled.
