How many of you netbook users wish that your ultra-portable machine had an optical drive too? Would you pay extra dollars for a model that would offer you an optical drive on board? Well Asus has one such model, the 1004DN which is now available in Taiwan for around $609. The netbook comes with the regular 10.2-inch screen, 1GB of RAM, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, an Intel GN40 chipset with X4500M graphics, a fingerprint reader, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and a CD/DVD burner. What do you think? Is it worth more than the regular netbook?
