Asus Eee PC 1201PN Netbook Won't Have Optimus; 1215N Leaks Out, Sporting Optimus and Dual-Core Atom

The Asus Eee PC 1201PN netbook is one of the first netbooks to launch with the next-gen Nvidia Ion graphics, but it looks like it won't be sporting the Optimus technology that Nvidia has to offer. If you were waiting for the next-gen Ion graphics along with the Optimus technology it now looks like the 1201PN netbook isn't the way to go. Instead a new Eee PC has popped up in Italy.

The Asus Eee PC 1215N will be hitting the shelves in the next couple of months - in June - and it'll be the successor to the 1201PN, which launches in May. The 1215N will be launching with Nvidia's Optimus technology, the next-gen Ion graphics, and the dual-core Atom N500 CPU.
