Asus Eee PC 1201N netbook unboxed

Whilst we are waiting for the 12.1-inch ION-breathing Asus Eee PC 1201N to hit UK shores in mid-January, the guys over at ElectricPig have already managed to unbox a unit. As part of the Seashell range, it’s no surprise that it looks very similar to the 11.6” 1101HA and 10.1” 1005HA netbooks.
This includes a dimpled touchpad and clam shell design. This particular model comes with a chiclet keyboard though, rather than the flat keys seen in the rest of the Seashell range. The model is due to retail for £399 and will come with a dual-core 1.6GHz Atom 330 processor along with the Nvidia ION chipset.

I’m looking forward to this review, and hope the review would compare the 1201N with ultraportables using intel’s CULV such as the ASUS UL20A-A1. This particular model is very similar to the 1201N (3.3lbs, 12.1″ screen, 6 cell – 7.5hr battery) but sports a 1.3GHz core 2 duo processor (slightly lower clock speed, hugely larger L2 cache at 3MB vs 512kb) and Intel X4500MHD graphics (which probably is vastly inferior to nVidia’s Ion).
