Looks like Asus decided to release the Eee PC 1201N in the Philippines after all. A month after the sale of the AMD Neo-powered Asus Eee PC 1201T, the Atom N330-powered Eee PC 1201N is now selling in stores.
The sub-specs are basically the same, except for the CPU and GPU combo.
Asus Eee PC 1201N
12.1″ display @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel Atom N330 dual core 1.6GHz
nVidia Ion (GeForce 9400M)
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD
WiFi 802.11b/g/n
Bluetooth
Ethernet
HDMI port
3 USB 2.0 ports
SD card slot
0.3MP webcam
6-cell battery
Prices are listed (from PC Corner) as follows:
Php26,995 (w/ MS Windows 7 Home Starter)
Php30,995 (w/ Windows 7 Home Basic, 3GB RAM and 320GB HDD)
Compared to the 1201T, the 1201N is expected to be faster and have longer battery life than the former. However, earlier reports put the Windows Experience Index of the Atom N330 at 3.1 (that’s according to The Guardian; the 1201T has 3.2 in my tests) and battery gives a decent 3.5 hours (according to Engadget).

@YEN: hello! first of all.. hindi me taga davao eh. Pero when it comes to SM naman, siguro pare-pareho lang sila. Ok I’ll name some shop in SM or anywhere that you might visit, mga legit naman to eh..
I bought mine from “Accent Micro” – SM Mall of Asia, M.Manila. So far the best service nila. And they have the best “freebies”.
Other shops that offer 1201n are “Villman” and “Asianic”.. but if you like try mo na rin yung iba. Meron yang mga yan sa SM. Pag wala, punta ka nalang dito sa Manila.. ^_^
hi!! nineswordz^^,.

@YEN: Licensed po yang windows 7 starter, di sila nagbebenta ng fake or burn lang. ^^
311 or 1201n? 1201n.

Yen,
I have a friend that sells PCs and loptops. Refer kita. He will make you a package for 1201n na complete na softwares and hindi lang Windows Starter (which also affects the speed of the unit) KAhit ultimate ok plus you can add other softwares for free.
Hindi tayo mismo mag transact but I will be glad to refer you since doon ako bumibili sa kanya.
All transactions will be through YM then punta ka lang sa kanila pag bibili na.
DAVAO area only.
Message me na lang sa YM paul_shoshin

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 :)
how about the keyboard issue?? reflex?
@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! ^^
Good day guys! just wanna ask, where can I avail this 1201N with 3GB/320GB in its lowest value or with lots of freebies? How much is the cost? Replies are much appreciated thank you :D
[...] when you that this could really be an upgrade to the 1201N, you’d be surprised with the CPU they paired it [...]
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.
Help anyone please!
Did anybody else experience seeing just a black screen when you turn on your machine?
I got mine 3 weeks ago and this happend.
Its just a black screen. Windows doesnt boot. It doesnt even tell me if there is any error. No nothing.
And the jerks at PC Express Gilmore won’t replace it with a new unit saying that the 7 day grace period is over. Screw them! Screw Asus!
Sir Yuga wen will asus release the latest asus eee pc 1215n in the philippines? im waiting for it po..hehe.and if it’s ok, can u make a review of the said netbook jst to knw how it compares to other asus laptops…thank you and God bless! btw i love reading ur blogs. urs is the best blog i’ve ever read ^_^
@mael.. a late reply but this might help to ease ur mind… yes it does not indicate dual core when u checked it under system info.. download CPUID HWMonitor program. It does not only give you info regarding running temps of your pc but it also indicate that you have two cores running under ATOM.
smile.. ;)
[...] up our alley — the Eee PC 1215N and 1215T — both of which are upgrades to the 1201N and [...]
