Asus Eee PC 1201N Gaming Test: Half-Life 2
ASUS Eee PC 1201N-PU17
The Asus Eee PC 1201N is the first and only netbook in the market that comes with Intel dual core Atom N330 CPU (other netbooks usually feature single core Atom processors). Together with the NVIDIA ION graphics, and two-DIMM, dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the Eee PC 1201N is currently the most powerful machine in the netbook range. The battery life of this netbook is however shorter than other netbooks at around 3 to 4 hours. If you like to get a netbook with powerful performance and battery life isn’t your top priority, the Eee PC 1201N is definitely worth considering.

The price of the N10Jh is out of netbook range as well. It’s currently selling for $669.99 on Amazon. For a small portable computer that’s able to handle multimedia task, we think the HP Mini 311 would be a better deal compared to this model of laptop from Asus.
