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.
susunod na ang 1202N.
1201N pala.
Intel Atom Dual core and NVidia ION
uy, pretty cheap for the specs.
how much ung other 2 models?
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.
i don’t like they keys, sana ginaya nila the one from the original seashell.
when will asus eee pc 1201n will be released here at the philippines?
sir yuga,
When will the 1201n be available here in the philippines daw?
@clifford and john – Next month daw.
Tagal pa pala, I guess next month would mean by the end of February pa noh?
Rawr!!! Asus is giving me such a hard time to decide what netbook to buy! 1008? 1005? or this new one? Asus, my head is hurting from confusion.
^^ 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..
Whoa! The price is awesome for a netbook with that kind of specs…

1201N -
My own review of this unit.

I also purchased this baby. Read my blog to see how I like it so far. http://geekindenial.wordpress.com
nabili ko from Premium Logic/ASUS Park Square Makati for Php21,500 cash. And yes single core lang CPU neto. The 1201N will most likely retail for around P28K kung susundin natin yung current exchange right coinciding with the 1201T’s price here.

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)
Not bad for that price. It’s a bargain really. Will wait for a little longer, the other makers would be releasing new models soon.
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!
