Asus Eee PC 1201N
I think if I had to choose a netbook right now, I would pick the Asus Eee PC 1201N. Yes, I’m giving up size and mobility. As far as changes, there are a few noticeable changes. For one thing, it’s bigger. A lot bigger than my Eee PC 1000H. I use a Thinkpad X61 for work and that’s 12 inches. Of course the bigger screen real estate will give you more to look at. The screen resolution balloons to 1366×768 from 1024×600.
The Nvidia ION chip powering all the graphic duties. There’s been a lot of hype about ION, but nothing real has come out yet for all to use. I wonder if it’s the real deal. The one chip that can elevate a netbook to something a laptop has to be afraid of. Yes, the Intel Atom cpu is weak. But it’s pretty sufficient for most of the things I want to do.
I guess time will tell if it will be a winner. I really hope it will live up to all the hype.
According to rumors, the Asus Eee PC 1201N will make its appearance in Q4 of 2009.
