    Anyone have solid specs on this? My research bring up conflicting specs. The guy at CeBIT says USB 2.0 ports and Atom N470 while the specs sheet on display at CeBIT claimed USB 3.0 and Atom N475. The spec sheet also listed 3.5G/3.75G as well as 10.1" display. However, there were 2 1018p models on display at CeBIT with one being larger than the other. so is the 10.1" the smaller or larger one? I wish Asus would release some documentation on this thing. It seems like the netbook I've been waiting for. If only they had an SSD option. This would be perfect.

    BTW, this is what I have so far:

    -1024x600 10.1" LCD
    -Intel Atom N455 or N475
    -1 GB DDR3 up to 4 GB (1 SO-DIMM)
    -160/250 GB HDD (160 for XP 250 for Win7)
    -4-in-1 Cardreader, 3 USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports, VGA, Ethernet
    -6-cell Battery good for 10 hours (claimed, more like 3-6 hours probably)

    Closer inspection of the CeBIT video says the smaller 10.1" model is the 1016p, that would make the 1018p an 11.6"? maybe 12"?

    Ok so insider reports from an Asus biz partner:

    1018p specs that have been confirmed:

    -Intel Atom N455 and N475 (meaning DDR3)
    -1 SO-DIMM slot for max 4 GB DDR3 RAM
    -250 GB HDD Win7
    -USB 3.0 x 3
    -Bluetooth 3.0
    -802.11n
    -10 hour battery life (6 cell)
    -1366 x 768 11.6" LCD
    -4-in-1 cardreader
    -VGA
    -Ethernet

    Now, the only things that are missing are SSD option and NVIDIA ION 2 graphics like big brother 1201p. Can't wait for this to come out. I'm getting both this and the 1201p.

    I really like the design of the 1018p and the fact that it has atom 475 option but why they arent including the 8 cuda core version of the ion 2 is a bad move if you ask me. I would prefer the 1018p if it could properly display hd video on my tv. Aluminum case + ion2 would be a winner right now. I'm still looking for info about when the 1201pn is coming out, soon I hope. Unforutualy the only 10 inch I've read about that has ion 2 is the Acer Aspire which I'm not overly fond of.
