ASUS N10Jc-A1 Netbook Review – Atom N270

Introduction and Specifications

Today, we have the opportunity to look at the Asus N10Jc-A1 Netbook PC. At just 10.9″ x 7.7″ x 1.5″ and 3.7 lbs, this sleek little piece of portability was designed with the user on the go in mind! ASUS equipped this netbook with an Intel Atom N270 Processor for stability and low power consumption, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS video card to get the best video quality out of its 10.2″ LCD.

The Bundle

The Asus N10JC-A1 comes with a small carrying bag to keep the shiny finish from getting scratched. The bag is a perfect fit for the N10JC-A1, but it is not large enough to handle a power cable or mouse in addition to the computer. Also in the above image you will see user manuals, a power cable, a cable tie, a driver DVD, a recovery DVD, and an ASUS media DVD. However, without an external optical drive or another computer to share files, I’m not sure what good these discs would do.
