The new Asus N10Jc is a netbook. But, it’s unlike any netbook Asus has pumped out before. That’s because while it might be a $650 laptop with some pretty basic specs, there are a few ges hidden in the spec list that make it stand out.

First, the N10Jc ships with a 6-cell battery, a nice option for netbook users who want to get off the couch and away from the power plug. Plus, little improvements like a 95% keyboard and a full set of ports are nice additions. Of course, this comes with a weight boost. But keeping withing the three ound target with 3.5 pounds is okay by me. That extra half a pound translates directly to battery life.

Overall, PC Magazine was really impressed with the N10Jc, saying that for the price, it can’t really be beat in the netbook catagory:

The line between netbooks and mainstream laptops blurs every time ASUS launches a new netbook. The N10Jc-A1 has some features worthy of an ultraportable: the six-cell battery, switching graphics, a fingerprint reader, and an HDMI port aren’t the usual netbook fare, and its slightly higher price is justified because of these additional features. But it’s branded a netbook because it runs on the Intel Atom platform and has a small screen and keyboard.

The basic specs:

• Operating System: MS Windows XP Home
• Processor: Intel Atom N270
• Processor Speed: 1.6 GHz
