ASUS will be shipping a new Eee PC netbook next year, a 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N that features Atom Dual Core Processor N330 1.6Ghz with 2GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive, Nvidia ION graphics card, and Windows 7 32-bit.

Of course, 12.1-inch laptops are really “laptops” per say, not “netbooks”.  (LaptopPimp editors think anything 12 inches and above should be really classified as laptops, not netbooks or mini-notebooks)

The new ASUS Eee PC 1201N will certainly be the “fastest” netbook ever.  We like the whole thing except if you are going to get a 12-inch laptop, you might as well spend $200-300 more on much faster 13.3-inch ASUS UL30Vt, which boasts much faster processor, 64-bit system, and 4gigs of RAM. (The author of this post is actually using an ASUS UL30Vt to write this very blog post at the local McDonald’s.)

And, of course, there’s the ASUS UL20A-A1, which boasts faster processor too but the new 1201N might overcome graphic capabilities with its Nvidia ION graphics card.  (So our recommendation is to get the 1201N or UL30Vt.)be

I am sure ASUS will be launching other smaller netbooks next year but if you can’t wait, you can be one of the first ones to receive an ASUS 1201N by pre-ordering yours here on Amazon for $599.99. 1 - Featured Laptops, 12" Laptops, 1201n review, 2 - Laptop Reviews, 3 - Laptops by Size, 4 - Featured Netbooks, 5 - Netbook Reviews, ASUS eee pc 1201n, ASUS Laptops, ASUS Netbooks, eee pc 1201n review, New Laptops
