ASUS USB 3.0 Netbook Out-n-About

Rich Gates April 20, 2010 USB 3.0

We’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for a Netbook to have USB 3.0.Â Last month we heard several models coming out while at CeBIT, but still nothing from the manufacturer websites.

ASUS USB 3.0 Netbook

Today SlashGear reported a new ASUS 1018P Netbook with USB 3.0 out-n-about.Â You can see the bright blue connectors above.Â To give you an idea of what the ASUS 1018P can do, consider working on a Netbook with Intelâ€™s latest Pine Trail Atom N455 and N475 processors, with Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0 connectivity along with the promise of 10hrs runtime. In addition [and this is good] the 1018P would come with integrated 3G, though thereâ€™s no word on whether that will be a standard-fit feature or an upgrade at time of order. The last bit of no-news I guess you could say is no word on price points and no word on availability.Â All I can say is “come on guys, lets get it going!” Source:Â SlashGear.
