If you were expecting to get your hands on ASUS 1215N dual core netbook in early September, you may have to wait a while. The device was listed as out of stock on Amazon and it is not clear when it will be available in stock. The device is one of the most anticipated netbooks and does pack a punch (is a bit expensive too):

• Intel Dual Core Atom D525 (1.8GHz)
• Nvidia ION 2 graphics with 512mb dedicated video memory
• 12.1″ WXGA (1366×768) LED screen
• 2GB DDR3 RAM (2x1GB), 4GB Max
• 250GB SATA Hard Drive
• Windows 7 Home Premium  (32 Bit)
• HDMI out; Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n; 10/100 LAN
• 0.3MP Webcam
• 500 GB web storage
• 6 hours of battery

Unfortunately, this device does not have USB 3.0 nor does it have a long battery life. The price is not something you want to write home about. At $499, netbook fans may be better off picking up a regular laptop.
