The editors didn't like
Screen is not too bright
Not too powerful
Noisier than standard Atom netbooks. Battery life only four hours. Price not much less than considerably more powerful laptops
Excellent for midrange gamming, dual core processor and Nvidia GPU give great performance, 12 inch screen is large for a standard netbook, affordable,
Touch pad is small, battery life is low,
The 1201N from Asus gives a great performance due to the dual core processor and the Nvidia GPU. We also liked the big screen and we would recommend this Netbook if you are looking for such a device to work while on the move. The GPU also makes sure t...
Dual-core Atom processor. Nvidia's Ion platform benefits smooth HD playback and light 3D gaming. Lightweight. Full size keyboard. Fastest netbook available. Large 12-inch widescreen. HDMI port included. 2GB of RAM standard
Battery life is a tradeoff.
The ASUS EeePC 1201N is the fastest netbook money can buy, but its tradeoff is battery life just 4 hours of it....

Dual-core Atom processor, solid gaming graphics for a Netbook, large screen, affordable for its features
Awkward touch pad, mediocre battery life
As one of the few Netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch EeePC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better. Read full revie...
Attractive case, Solid workmanship, HDMI port, 3x USB, Fully functional keyboard, 12 inch display with HD resolution bids a good overview, Good CPU and GPU performance data, Gaming suitable with restrictions, Low case heating
Smudge susceptible high gloss surfaces, Average VGA quality, Keyboard has clattery areas, Average display brightness and glare surface prevent outdoor use, Always present fan
The Asus Eee PC 1201N's most perceptible advantage for the user will likely be its gain in size. On the one hand, this has an effect on the input devices that now almost have the size of fully functional office devices, as well as on the display that prov...
Abstract: It's been a couple of years now since PC manufacturer ASUS revolutionized the portable PC world with its first tiny, affordable EEE PC. Then, the 7" screen and miniscule keyboard made this little machine more of a toy and a novelty than something yo...
Abstract: 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...
Abstract: With the Crafty chess engine benchmark the Eee PC 1201N lost to the older 10.6" netbook when comparing the 32-bit performance, but the 64-bit support is much better in this heavily computational test. The dcraw image processing performance was virtua...
Great graphics performance for a netbook, Speedy dualcore Atom processor, Large screen and keyboard
Glossy lid, Disappointing battery life, Not as powerful as a ULV laptop
The 1201N is a new type of netbook -- although we aren't even sure it should be called a netbook, since it's more like a full-fledged laptop. Regardless of what you call it, at $499 the Eee PC 1201N quelled our netbook frustrations by delivering a more co...
Great build quality, Responsive touchpad, Nice display,
Only slightly faster single core Atom with NVIDIA ION, Poor battery life compared to single core netbooks,
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
