Asus EeePC 1201T in the flesh!

Interestingly, Asus’ 12-inch version of their netbooks have only arrived this week despite other PC manufacturers offering them as early as last year. The Asus EeePC 1201T is the 12.1″ version of the Seashell series and I bought a unit for review.

There are supposed to be 3 models in this series — 1201HA running Atom Z520, the 1201N running Atom ~~N280~~ N330 with nVidia ION and the 1201T running AMD Athlon MV40 and ATI Radeon HD3200.

The specs of the Asus EeePC 1201T include:
12.1″ display screen @ 1366×768
AMD Athlon MV40 @ 1.6GHz
ATI Radeon HD3200 256MB
2GB DDR2 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
WiFi802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
Multi-card reader

Unlike the other netbooks in this category, the 1201T does not have an HDMI port although Asus claims it can play 1080p HD videos. The unit does not have any OS pre-installed so I got it pretty cheap.

The suggested retail price — Php21,990. Not bad.

hi yuga, ang alam ko 1201N is dual core atom, instead na N280. or baka may info ka from Asus Philippines na N280 processor siya.

Ito alam ko list ng 12″ seashell series

1201N = dual core Atom 330 CPU and NVIDIA ION graphics

1201HA = Intel Atom Z520 CPU and integrated GMA 500 graphics

1201T = 1.6GHz AMD Neo MV-40 CPU and ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics

1201NL = Intel Atom N270 CPU and NVIDIA ION graphics

@zaiko – the official specs is N330 but the sales reps from the store told me the upcoming 1201N will only have the N280 in it.
