Asus Eee PC 1201N gets priced

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).

    @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.. ;)

    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!

    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.

    @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! ^^

    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 :)
