Asus EeePC 1201T in the flesh!

1201N pala.

Intel Atom Dual core and NVidia ION :)

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

i don’t like they keys, sana ginaya nila the one from the original seashell.

sir yuga,
When will the 1201n be available here in the philippines daw?

Tagal pa pala, I guess next month would mean by the end of February pa noh?

^^ I agree. As a college student, it’ll be very beneficial if I have a netbook anywhere around to do my research papers, etc. Kaya, maybe I’ll settle with the MSI u230 or mini 311 nalang, pero nakakpaghinayang talga etong 1201n e. ARGHHH..

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

sir yuga dual core ba to or single core?

brothers, meron na las week pa sa PC Gilmore. naka-advertise na at d same price wid sir Yuga pero sa specs nila 1gb lang ram

@franciselmer – single core lang yan

My own review of this unit.

I think ill wait for the 1201N or buy n lng the
1005 HA which has a good review from
Cnet (http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/notebooks/0,39050488,44866932p,00.htm)
and from the users as well, great size and specs bring it anywhere for a free wifi and start doing your work conveniently. ive been using its older brother Asus 1000 HE and its going smooth naman, they have great product support for latest drivers agad, well i’ve even installed na Windows 7 via USB, its fast pa din but 8.5 hours battery life i got when using XP has gone down to 6.5 n lng, but still its long enough for some internet time and office work at the same time. it even won the battle last year;( http://blog.laptopmag.com/netbook-madness-finals-asus-eeepc-1000he-vs-samsung-nc10)

Hello Yuga.

I bought this item earlier. This is carrying AMD Neo, not Athlon. :)

By the way, this unit seems very impressive, yet having a very affordable price.

This unit is not a netbook, but an ultrathin notebook. HP Pavillion has a unit that comes with AMD Neo and also having 12″ display. See it here: http://www.villman.com/Product-Detail/HP_DV2-1010AU_NB

If you notice, HP Pavillion DV2-1010AU has a selling price of less 43,000. Hmmm. Then we get the same specifications from Asus from 21,xxx. :) WOW!

@James Alvarez

first of all HP has always been more expensive than Asus. Secondly, the HP model you mentioned has Windows Vista installed while the Asus has no OS installed. Third, the HP has a DVD drive while the Asus doesn’t. That being said the price difference of Php20K is still ridiculous!

Btw I think the Asus is still a netbook and not a slim notebook like you say since it is still under the EeePC line and has an underpowered CPU. Slim notebooks like the UL series from Asus sport more powerful CULV processors hence commanding a steep retail price (P45K and up)

bow :)

Available na ba ang ASUS 1201N at 1201HA dito sa Pinas? If so, saan store makakabili nito (pls send me a link guys) and how much each ito now. Thanks much, looking forward!

Talaga dual core.. san mo po info nakuha yan?

This one’s from Asus website itself, in which it appears that it really isn’t dual core.

Here’s one:

However, this appears to have been written prior to the launch of the product.

Although there was an update that it doesn’t seem to be dual core.

Also, I was able to see the 1201T at Megamall’s Cyberzone last Feb 14. And it was being advertised as dual-core, which made me take notice.
But based on the discussions here, it seems that it is not dual-core. Maybe somebody can confirm it. Thanks.

Sorry for the double post…I thought I lost the other one, so I had to make up another. I have no intention whatsoever of insisting my view. It’s just a simple matter of not being able to complete the lists I was trying to make to show to another poster where I got my info.

I do understand that someone actually own a 1201T that is not dual core, that much is clear in the comments. My only intention was to clarify the information that I was able to gather from the Net, from sources that may be considered as reliable as this site.

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out.

hi guys:

i am having a trouble with my 1201T,

i just got this yesterday.
when i boot to bios i can check that my harddrive exists, but when i use an external drive or usb linux pendrive i cant see the harddrive.

this means i cant install the OS (win xp) i wanted installed on the physical drive itself and it sucks.

i have tried using Darik’s Nuke and Boot so napalabas ko yung physical drive itself but after which, going back to the attempt to install the windows xp OS, the harddrive disappears again.

is it a limitation of the motherboard not supporting XP? this has been frustrating for me considering i got the 1201T for its good review.

why cant i simply boot to my windows xp cd and install the OS the physical drive?
