Asus to launch a 10.2-inch N-Series laptop to cover the $500-$600 market

Asus, the company who “invented” the small and ultra-cheap laptop has noticed that sales of 10.2″ netbooks are off the charts so it is preparing a new offering for that segment. This time, it’s not an Eee PC (this line has become more than confusing lately with one new model every week), but a new N-Series, which means that it will be more powerful, but also more expensive ($500-$650 range). But this new 10.2″ laptop might also be a better choice than the Eee for users who want to use them as a simple, main computer: storage capacity will be as high as 320GB.
