Eee PC 1201N: The first Asus notebook with Nvidia ION
Asus is finally ready to launch its Eee PC 1201N. It is the first ION-powered laptop from Asus.
The Asus Eee PC 1201N is equipped with a high resolution 1366 x 768 pixels display. It is powered by an Intel Atom 330 dual core processor with NVIDIA ION graphics. Actually, very few notebooks in the market have a dual core Atom 330 processor. The notebook will sell for around $499 and several online dealers have already started accepting pre-orders for $485 to $499.
In design the Eee PC 1201N isn’t much different from the other Eee PCs like 1101HA, 1008HA, and 1005HA. The machine measures 1.3 inches in thickness and at 3.2 pounds, it is slightly heavier than other notebooks recently released by Asus.
The 1201N runs Windows 7 Home Premium. Up to 2GB of RAM and up to 250 GB of storage can be installed. There are 3 USB ports, an SDHC card Slot, a VGA output and an HDMI port. Other features include Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b/g/n.
The Eee PC 1201N is expected to be available in the US in mid-December.
