We like the 1201N, but at a price of AU$789, it sits in an uncomfortable spot between a full-sized budget laptop and a smaller netbook with integrated graphics. Ultimately, it all comes down to needs — if you must have a netbook, this is the highest pe...

In the end, there's a lot to like with the Asus Eee PC 1201n. The better keyboard and larger display in a package that's still thin and sleek are attractive, but we'd really like to see the price drop by about £80. Loyd Case, PCWorld.com...

That extra space inside is almost certainly being used for a more heavyweight cooling setup than a standard netbook. Two CPU cores and the discrete graphics chip run hotter than the infamously low-power vanilla Atom, and that does, unfortunately, mak...

At first glance, the Asus Eee PC 1201N looks virtually identical to several other 12 inch laptops from Asus including the UL20A and 1201HA thin and light laptops. But while the Asus Eee PC 1201N may have the same chassis as other Asus notebooks, it st...
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 ASUS Eee PC 1201N is loaded with Intel's dual-core Atom as well as NVIDIA's ION. This computer falls into its own little category since it is too fast to be a netbook and not as powerful as a CULV notebook. Read our full review to find out how w...

I think the ASUS Eee PC 1201N was designed to fit a market segment that didn't really need to be filled. It has the CPU performance of a CULV notebook but without the power efficiency or higher performing chipset. A basic CULV notebook still beats it in overall system performance and if a CULV notebook was configured with dedicated graphics, instead of the usual Intel X4500 integrated graphics, i...
