Netbook Reviews

Not a whole lot to report on here, but as the Asus 1201N seems to be the netbook creating the most buzz right now it’s worth the post.

The very highly anticipated Nvidia Ion powered, dual core, 12.1-inch Asus Eee PC 1201N netbook has been spotted with a burgundy red finish, rather than the previously announced black and silver color options.

If there has ever been a highly anticipated nettop, the Asus Eee Box EB1501 would be it! Even before it was officially announced the slot feed DVD-burning Asus EB1501 nettop has had a very large following, with many people eager to get their hands on it.

The Asus Eee Box EB1501 is now available to pre-order in the US from Amazon for $479.

Selecting a netbook isn’t easy at the best of times. And if your looking for a slightly larger netbook with a 12-inch display, you now can to pick between a netbook, and a “thin and light” laptop, making the choice even harder.

While netbooks have go larger, and we are now seeing many models with an 11.6-inch or 12-inch display, we are now seeing laptops getting smaller and lighter, which are now known as thin and lights.

The very highly anticipated dual core CPU and Nvidia Ion powered 12-inch netbook, the Asus 1201N Eee PC is now available to order from Amazon!

We have seen the Asus Eee PC 1201N show up for pre-order before on some smaller sites, but non of the main retailers. So it’s great to see it listed on Amazon for $499. Now we also have a definite release date of January 15th.

The very impressive and beautifully designed ASUS UL30Vt thin and light notebook which showed up on Amazon a little over a week ago for pre-order is now shipping from Amazon for $799.

While the ASUS UL30Vt isn’t a netbook, it is just one inch larger than some of the larger netbooks now days at 13-inches. The UL30Vt is a thin a light machine, which puts it somewhere between a netbook and standard laptop.

Some photos of the upcoming Asus Eee PC 1008P pinetrail netbook have show up online, revealing some interesting information.

The model shown in these photos is actually a special designer edition of the Asus 1008P, designed by Karim Rashid. It looks like it has been designed to look similar to clutch bag with a textured finish.

The upcoming Asus Eee PC 1201T 12.1-inch netbook is the latest model to be officially announced by Asus.

We have known about the Asus 1201T for a little while now, but it’s specifications have remained mostly unknown until now. This “T” model is one of three from the Asus 1201 12-inch netbook range, which features the already available 1201HA and the upcoming Nvidia Ion powered 1201N models.

The Asus Eee PC 1201HA is now available to order in the US and is currently shipping!

The Asus 1201HA is a brand new seashell styled netbook from it’s new range of 12-inch netbooks, which all start with the 1201 model name. There has been a lot of attention of the 1201N model which features Ion graphics (and costs more), but if you don’t need this, the Asus 1201HA model should suit you well.

The great looking 1201HA is currently available from BestBuy.com for just $329.

I have just received an exciting email from the Asus UK press department.

The highly anticipated Asus Eee Box 1501 (or EB1501) as it is also known as, has been officially announced by Asus and will be available to ship in the UK from tomorrow (27th November)!

It will be available for £339 from a range of retailers including Amazon UK and Play.Com.

We have known about the Asus Eee PC 1201N netbook since late August, and it has even shown up for pre-order in a number of countries including the US. But until today the Asus 1201N hasn’t been officially announced by Asus, and only a few photos have been floating around the net.

On the same day that Asus have officially recognized the Asus 1201N it has been given a quick hands on by the team over at laptopmag.
