The Asus Eee PC 1201N is the first notebook with an Atom processor and NVIDIA ION graphics that I’ve tested that doesn’t feel slower than a typical 10 inch Atom powered netbook at day to day tasks. Sure, the HP Mini 311 and other ION-powered systems ca...

The 1201N from Asus gives a great performance due to the dual core processor and the Nvidia GPU. We also liked the big screen and we would recommend this Netbook if you are looking for such a device to work while on the move. The GPU also makes sure t...

The Asus Eee PC 1201N's most perceptible advantage for the user will likely be its gain in size. On the one hand, this has an effect on the input devices that now almost have the size of fully functional office devices, as well as on the display that prov...

Abstract: With the Crafty chess engine benchmark the Eee PC 1201N lost to the older 10.6" netbook when comparing the 32-bit performance, but the 64-bit support is much better in this heavily computational test. The dcraw image processing performance was virtua...
