ASUS Eee PC 1201N: Dual-Core Atom + ION FTW?

When ASUS launched a little device called the Eee PC a couple years back, it was greeted with mixed feelings. Some people loved the original Eee PC, and others thought it was more of a gimmick. It was light and it could do basic computing, but so many items were lacking that like most things, you got what you paid for.

ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC

ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC

ASUS today introduced its first Eee PC based on Nvidia’s ION platform, the 1201N. It features the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chipset, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 12-inch display with a 1366×768 resolution. Other features include N wireless, HDMI out, Windows 7 Home Premium, and a claimed 11 hours of battery life from the included six-cell battery.

There is no word on pricing or availability, though it would not be unreasonable to assume it to arrive on Windows 7′s launch date, 22 October.
