Asus Eee PC 1201N gets priced

Pretty decent specs and pricing. Good for all-arounder.

Add to my wish list…

hmmm…kind of expensive for a netbook and the 6-cell battery is weak.

“…while around here you only get Starter :/”

can we get the 1201N WITHOUT the OS? pirated and functional copies of Windows 7 are aplenty. :)

this is definitely not a netbook anymore! 12 inchers are best substitutes to your work laptops and an easy-lug-around rig. might have to think again about the G450 now that the 1201N is in the stores.

@xtian
I bought mine at sm north edsa cyberzone at complink (with free small mouse, win7 starter :( and a headset) last saturday for 26,900
They said that they have five stocks left minus mine so that’ll be four haha.
When you go to SM try to look to other stores with better freebies (it has been said in another forum that he got two laptop bags)

@ it has been said,,, hows the performance? the heat n the noise?

@Sir Yuga
recently bought an MSI wind U230 which has similar specs than this. What are the advantages of Eee PC 1201N over the U230? Should i have just waited?

Pwede n din, but will never be a gaming laptop (@IC DeaDPiPoL)… Pretty decent for the price but will definitely run slower that regular laptop. But for the “genre” this book is pretty much a nice buy.

I’m so getting this.

@pusang kulag

to answer your question… from what i remember it’s the 2nd netbook with ION here… HP Mini 311 is the ION netbook to hit our shores…

Specs are great, but I tried several test units in Cyberzone and it seem that the keyboard, specially on the right side has a flex issue. When you hit a button (P,0,L,K,{,}) the other letters seems to go down as well. Not to solid though still a worthy gaming netbook for me.

Oops sorry, I already asked that on the other review.. its only 2gb. ^_^ v

To Yuga or anyone … help naman please!

I dont know what to buy between these two: ASUS 1201N or MSI Wind U230 – Guys which do you think is the BEST between these two OVERALL?

Kasi halos parehas ng specs, so i’m decided what to buy.

Sino po sakanila mas LAMANG overall?? Thanks guys!!

mukhang okay ang specs ah. Good Bargain na to diba?

@PS3!

actually ung complaint na keyboard is flexing, normal na pala yan kasi lahat ng 1201N ganun talaga but its not a hassle naman.. ung prob ko sa ALT key dati inayos na nila, but i have my replacement unit instead kasi there are some other issues (natapat lng sakin ung unit na mejo problematic hehe) …

Anyway overall this is one powerful netbook im telling you sa porma at performance (mejo madali lang uminit) but OVERALL GOOD!.. ;)

@PS3

try to visit our forum on tipidpc about 1201N.. you can ask questions there with our fellow users ;)

@Ninez

Wow, that’s a good deal.. ako nga 2 bags lang..(I chose another bag worth P925 instead of the flashdrive.. :D) ikaw may mouse pa ;)

ako naman di ko nakikita kundi ko pa nalaman sa iba ung flexing ng keyboard.. kasi nga di obvious as in and not bothersome at all.

and yeah silver is a good one too..in fact i had 2nd thought when i saw that kasi maganda din, but sabi ng salesman mas mganda daw black coz mukang sosyal..hehe – i just hate its bein’ a fingerprint magnet.. welcome to the club bro, good choice!

@Nine

true.. yeah I have 14-inch Acer a black one also, kaya nilagyan ko ng skin..

true.. ung temp nga nya dali uminit..i believe dahil din sa ION kasi it had been reported nvidia to cause heat up, pero tolerable na din, lagyan nlng ng cooler and dont put it nalang sa cloth. ;)

anu poh bha ung OS?…no idea about that..since ala ako laptop but im lookin forward to buy one!

@Cyrus
kainggit dude nabili mo ng mas mura! hehe.. though i agree with what u commented.. this baby is overall sexy! ;) I’ll get rid of my 1-year-old A*** lappy (bigat 14 incher e).. this “N” is already perfect for me from looks, size to specs… sweeeeet!

yeah I agree, the ION GPU is superb. I can even play Left 4 Dead 2 at 15 FPS (yeah na-tyaga ko, hehe).. not bad, because the game is one of the newest right now.. CS 1.6 is a perfect 50-60 FPS with MAX graphic settings..

I’m gonna test it with “The Last Remnant” which needs a massive power of GPU. Let’s see if it can still play this epic game from SquareEnix.

san po mkakabili ng cheapest na ganito?within metro manila..i need help..and kung meron ba silang 6months payment or 12months..thanks..

@mae & yen: Sa mga SM meron yan, yung mga laptop/computer stores. And fixed po ang price nyan, ewan ko depende yan sa kung anong bundle kasama. Yup meron silang 12 months via CC..

UPDATE: I can’t test “The Last Remnant” cause other files are corrupt (stupid rars.. ^_^). Instead, I install “Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare” and the game is super playable. Without overclock, I manage to get 30-50 FPS.. after updating the ION, it went up to 45-65 FPS! I’m starting to love this machine. ^_^

mas ok toh, i researched everything about this machine,and its all good..its better than HP mini 311..:) btw,thanks nineswordz..i went to sm annex and checked the price..its about 26k, and if its installment payment, it will be 2.5k smthng per month..:)

To all whos interested sa ASUS 1201N. We just bought one almost 2 days ago palang, and I would like to sell it for same price.

RFS, d naman namin talaga namin need ng laptop, and ok na kahit ung mas lumang model lang para mura, kc sa office babad na kami sa computer. E mahusay ung sales guy napabili tuloy kami, cash pa.

For P26,995.00

Thanks!

I got this around a week ago as a second laptop. I already have my 4-year-old Dell E1505 but I’m loving how the Asus 1201N outperforms my older lappy in terms of games :) Still very handy to drag to school, too :)

@stella : Both are good.. but of course.. the best OS around is the Windows 7 Ultimate for it has the most features available (specially the XP mode!) Its price is a little “mabigat sa bulsa”, but its worth it. Or gusto mo punta ka kay “Jack Sparrow” to get one.. hehe! ^^

Help please. Have a few questions.
I got one earlier today from PC Express (Putik ang bagal nila don!). Anyway I noticed na sa system information it only says
Processor: “Intel Atom CPU 330 @ 1.6hz 1.6hz”
It doesnt say DUAL CORE. Naloko ba ako or ganito talaga pati inyo?
Tapos sa device manager, under processors apat ung nakalista na “Intel Atom CPU 330 @ 1.6hz”
Ganun po ba talaga? Feeling ko tuloy nascam ako.
HELP sa kaya sagutin mga tanong ko.
