The Eee PC 1215N is a very spec’d out netbook packing NVIDIA ION 2 technology, Optimus technology, USB 3.0 and optional Bluetooth 3.0 into a 12.1″ thin netbook package.

The processor used in this netbook is more typically found in a nettop device that doesn’t need to be concerned about battery life, but there is hope that with the intelligent graphics switching of Optimus the Eee PC 1215N will be able to deliver acceptable battery life.
