ASUS' N10
might be a netbook, but it’s certainly no Eee PC - not if your general
conception of the Eee range is a basic web-surfing machine that would
run out of breath even at the mention of gaming.  Mobile Computer
have been putting the N10 through its paces, and one thing is clear: a
netbook becomes a very different animal once you add switchable NVIDIA
GeForce 9200M graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard-drive and HDMI output.

The switchable video card - the N10 has both onboard Intel 945
graphics, like other netbooks, together with the NVIDIA card, that you
swap between with a reboot - means games like Call of Duty 4
play smoothly at the LCD’s native 1024 x 600 resolution (although a
little tweaking to the anti-aliasing was required).  It’s also capable
of handling 480p high-definition video, though reviewer Julian Prokaza
had trouble with 720p.

Mobile Computer are basically calling the ASUS N10 a crossover, a
blend of netbook and traditional ultraportable, and it sounds like many
of the strengths of each are brought along too.  Pre-orders for the N10
are currently starting from around $600, though that climbs rapidly when you start looking at more traditional-spec models.
