About a week ago the Asus 1201N turned up on an online store, confirming it’s existence.
The Asus 1201N was shown to feature the Nvidia ION graphics, and an Intel N270 CPU. Now another model with a slightly different model name, the Asus 1201HA has been listed on Asus’s support pages, which reveals some information about the 1201HA.
The Asus Eee PC 1201HA doesn’t feature Ion graphics, and instead uses Intel US15W Poulsbo chipset and GMA 500 graphics. This makes the Asus 1201HA more comparable the the 11.6-inch Asus 1101HA, with similar specifications (1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520), but a slightly larger 12-inch display.
