Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N
Asus eee pc seashell 1201N
If I was in the market for a new netbook, I think I would pick the Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N. Yes, it’s a 12 inch model that deviates from the traditional 10 inch of screen real estate. My biggest complaint about my Eee PC 1000H is the screen. Some programs run on a resolution that is higher than the native 1024 by 600 pixels. The screen is not long enough.
On the other side, the 10 inch model offers extreme mobility by not taking up too much space in my backpack. In the end, I think I would pick functionality over form. The Asus Eee PC 1201N offers so much than a what a regular netbook can. Here are the
specs:
Intel Atom N330 Dual Core 1.6GHz
2GB DDR2 Memory (2x1GB), 3GB max
250 SATA (5400RPM) Hard Drive + 500 GB Net Storage
Nvidia ION Graphics
12.1 inch screen (1366×768)
HDMI, 3 USB, RJ-45, headphones, mic, SD card reader
wifi 802.11n, bluetooth
3.2 pounds
up to 5 hours of battery life
Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Price: $499
Now, for $500, I can get a laptop with better a processor, more memory, bigger hard drive, a dvd drive, better graphics, and better screen. So on earth would I get a netbook instead? Answer: Weight and size. The Eee PC 1201N is only 1.3 inches thick and weigh only 3.2 pounds with about 5 hours of battery life. Sure a laptop has more power, but can it travel as well as the Eee?
