While Asus has already made its dual-core, ION-powered netbook – the 1201N, Laptopmag already had a hands-on report of the Eee PC 1201N. The Eee PC 1201N boasts of Windows 7 Premium, 12-inch display, 1.3-inch thick, 3.2 pounds, chicklet-style keyboard and a dimpled trackpad.
The Eee PC 1201N also has HDMI port so you can attach it to high-def monitor or TV. Laptopmag was able to try out this feature by attaching the 1201N to a high-def monitor/TV and was please with the full screen HD output when watching Hulu and YouTube.
In addition to all the features we mentioned, the Eee PC 1201N also boasts of a dual core Intel Atom N330 CPU. It also packs in 2GB of RAM and 250GB HDD.
The 1201N will sell for $499 and will be available in the US soon.
Asus adds another Windows 7-powered netbook to its collection, this time it’s called the Eee PC 1101HA-WP. Obviously, it’s just a “re-engineered” version of the previously released Eee PC 1101HA with some enhancement to its specs to make Windows 7 run.
Let’s see – 2GB of RAM, 250GB of HDD, a slower Intel Atom Z520 CPU and GMA graphics – then Windows 7 for OS, and you have a brand new Eee PC.
The Eee PC 1101HA-WP’s battery life suffered a bit, down from 11 hours to 8 hours now.
As for the other features, it practically is the same netbook as the Eee PC 1101HA.
The Eee PC 1101HA-WP will be available in Japan on the 14th and will set you back for around $410. It will don either a black or white casing.
So, have you pre-ordered your Eee PC T91MT at Amazon? Whether you did or not, you might want to check out this short demo of the Eee PC T91MT’s multi-touch functionality. As you can see from the video, that multi-touch feature is definitely a winner. Nothing can be cooler than the ability to control the different apps loaded in the Eee PT T91MT using one or two fingers.
I’m drooling right now, and hoping that this table netbook will be made available in the country where I am at a very affordable price. But I’m not counting on it, given the taxes that our government will imposed once it reached our soil.
Anyway, enjoy the video and if you haven’t ordered your Eee PC T91MT yet, this might help you decide.
If you didn’t pre-order the Eee PC T91MT when it went up at Amazon, here’s your chance to finally get it. Amazon now has some stocks of the said tablet netbook and guess what? It’s list price is now at $532 from the listed price when it was still in pre-order which was $549.
As a review, this tablet netbook is loaded with a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1GB of RAM (can be upgraded up to 2GB), 32GB SSD and 500GB free online EEE Storage, 8.9-inch touch LED LCD display with multi-touch functionality, Bluetooth, 5 hour battery life and of course Windows 7.
What are you waiting for? Go get this netbook baby now at Amazon.
Come January of next year at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Asus is expected to showcase a whole slew of exciting new devices along with a few old (already known) ones that also incite interest as excellent choices for mobile computing. Among those to be showcased are the company’s 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor powered netbooks, smartbooks and ultra-thin devices like their forthcoming Eee Reader and a few Google Android-based smartphones. Asus is also preparing 1.83GHz Intel Atom N470 netbooks but these aren’t going to be presented until CeBIT during another place and time. Still, we hope to learn more about all of these when we come to CES next year to cover the event live. Watch for it.
Not so long ago, we told you about the new Eee PC 1201N, a 12.1 inch Eee PC which will be equipped with NVIDIA ION graphics. We’ve even gathered the complete specs of this unannounced Eee PC. But since then we’ve not heard anything about it anymore, until now. Electricpig is reporting that the Eee PC 1201N is about to hit UK stores in December.
So what makes this Eee PC extra special? Of course the NVIDIA ION graphics render it capable of trotting out HD video. The Eee PC 1201N is also listed now at the Asus support site, another indication that it is indeed coming to us soon.
And the official specs of the Eee PC 1201N are now as follow – NVIDIA Ion chipset, HDMI, Windows 7, 320GB HDD, 3GB of RAM and Intel Atom N330 processor.
Well, it didn’t take Asus that long to make the new Eee PC 1001HA available for pre-order at the Amazon UK site. We were just telling you that this netbook’s specs have been spotted on the Asus global site.
The Eee PC 1001HA is available for $328. Due to its cheap price, you’d get a decent Eee PC with basic features. These include – 10.1-inch display (1024×600), 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB of HDD, 3-cell battery, 0.3 webcam, 3 USB ports and Windows XP (sorry folks no Windows 7 in this one).
Design wise, the Eee PC 1001HA looks like it’s sporting a textured lid design. It will be available in black and white color.
Now here’s the clincher and could determine whether you would want to get this netbook now – it will ship within 3 months upon order. Now that’s too long to wait.
We all know what it means when an upcoming product starts showing up on it’s mother company’s global site, right? It means that product is now being prepared for international launch. Well, that seems to be the case for the new Eee PC 1001HA which we covered recently.
The Eee PC 1001HA is now appearing on the Asus global site. This new member of the Eee PC Seashell family looks like a toned down version of the Eee PC 1005HA. It’s features and specs speak well of what this new netbook can bring when it comes out.
A couple of weeks ago, we reported that the Eee PC T91MT was already available for pre-order at the Amazon.de. But guess what? It’s also now available for pre-order at the Amazon U.S. site.
To make it more exciting for U.S. consumers, Asus has bumped up the SSD of this tablet netbook from 16GB to 32 GB. And of course it will still run Windows 7 Home Premium and will support multi-gesture function.
Other specs that you should look out for in the Eee PC T91MT include:
Look what we have here, after plummeting on top of the Amazon bestsellers lists, Windows 7 Eee PCs have been suddenly pushed down by a non-Windows 7 Eee PC. And guess what it is? – the Eee PC 1005HA running Windows XP instead.
Did that surprise you a bit? The Eee PC 1005HA running on Windows XP sells for $358.89 while the model with Windows 7 sells for around $376.99. It’s around $18 difference in price and you’d already have a faster Eee PC with better specs and features and yet the inferior model is still preferred by users?
What could be the reason then? Users still not convinced that Windows 7 is better than Windows XP? Users still want to buy some time before upgrading to Windows 7? Price is certainly not an issue since the price difference is not that much.
Let’s see if this trend continues as more and more reviews of Windows 7-powered netbooks come out. In the meantime go check out Amazon’s bestsellers and find out if your netbook is among them.
