Asus Eee PC 1201N

The Asus Eee PC 1201N is an nVidia Ion-based netbook released in late 2009 as one of the most powerful Atom netbooks of its time. It utilizes the nVidia Ion graphics chipset for enhanced graphics capabilities, as well as a 12” LCD screen that can handle 1366x768 high-definition content.

Included also is an Intel Atom N330 dual-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 320GB SATA hard-disc drive. It is especially built for portability, as its 6-cell battery can last a purported 11 hours without a charge; that’s enough for a flight from Madrid to Tokyo. And more importantly, it includes the new (for 2009) Windows 7 operating system. Additional features include 802.11b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth connectivity, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, a card reader, and a 1.3MP web-camera. It retails for approximately $499.99.
