More Atom N280-based Netbooks Coming Our Way

More Atom N280-based Netbooks Coming Our Way

Having mentioned that the Atom N280 processor has mushroomed at CES, it is interesting to note that Acer, Gigabyte Technology and Asus will be rolling out a fair number of 10" netbooks sometime between the second and third quarter of the year. These CPUs will be bundled with Intel's GN40 chipset and is nearly 50% more expensive compared to its predecessor, as the Atom N280 is priced at $60-65 in thousand-unit tray quantities, while the Atom N270 is much more affordable at $46 for a similar amount. Do you think the introduction of a beefier processor will help in terms of netbook sales, or does it really matter?
