ShadowBandit Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi there, i posted this in another forum but i believe it was not the correct one..... I am looking to purchase this Net/Notebook and it seems to have all the same specs as the EeePC's with the exception of the Nvidia 9300M GS. Chipset: Intel 945GSE Express chipset Audio: Integrated Azalia compliant audio chip, with 3D effect & full duplex Network/BT: WLAN: 802.11 B/G/N, LAN: 10/100/1000 Base T, Bluetooth V2.1 + EDR Video: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 + NVIDIA 9300M GS 256MB (On/Off Switchable Hybrid Graphics) For the most part i have found most of the hardware on these forums but i have no idea what kind of wireless card it actually comes with, or if it is even removable like the rest in case the drivers are not available for them like others. This is a perfect setup for me as i am always on the road, and on occasion i like to play games like the Sims, AoE, and now Spore! Please let me know if anyone has some kind of information on this...... Thanks in advance.... Edit: found a screen shot of all its specs....

ShadowBandit Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just found what the the WLAN is.... although not specific, so who knows if it is or isn't compatible.... the WLAN is made by Gigabit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughson Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Let me know how things go. Im interested in this netbook as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzbassmaster Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 i dont even think this deserves the title of netbook. my hp 2133 is a netbook. it cant play cod4 with good visual quality. this.. this seems like more of a hybrid netbook/laptop to me. i am interested in the results as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBandit Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 haha yea i know, looking at the specs it has the size of a 12" notebook, but its def a hybrid. The atom cpu + nvidia GPU.... i mean it looks like it works alright with some games but i am more interested on a portable pc that will allow me to play spore here and there when i am away from home. I also use photoshop and a couple of other programs at the same time so every bit more power i can have the better! haha. Hopefully i am not disappointed!, the only other problem i foresee is that i cant find anywhere if the WLAN card is removable or not if it isnt i will be very disappointed but wont be the end of the world. Hopefully someone with this bad boi can check in and give a little more insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBandit Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 added a screen shot of the n10j's specs to the first post.... I should receive it on monday so first order of business will be to try and install osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowBandit Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 been going at it for the last couple of weeks and no luck bios configs are kinda funky and osx does not like them.... hopefully someone will figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdom1 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Any update on this? I'm looking at this netbook myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA_OSX_PC Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I just bought an A10J and am waiting for it to ship. Check out this site. http://asus-n10.wikispaces.com/ He is doing the same thing and has the firmware mod. Looks like it is possible to do with out have to buy into Steve Job's hardware dictatorship. I'll be trying it I'm sure, and will post the results although I think it may be a bit since I want to see how optimized I can get Vista before going for OS X (do have a MacBook Pro so screwing (or getting screwed) with Vista seems more fun now LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Urine Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 you can't install osx on it without doing these steps: 1. change the hdd access in bios. 2. turn nvidia switch off and use the intel 950 built in gfx card. 3. try using voodoo kernel. 4. check with kebyl if further patching is needed for the bios. (be warned this could turn ugly with asus) let me know, i have one of these and didn't think about installing leopard on it till today. cheers gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
