Asus Eee PC 1201HA

The Asus Eee PC 1201HA is a late 2009 release for the Eee netbook line. It has a 12.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display that is supported by Intel US15W / GMA 500 graphics. It is not as powerful as its sister product, the Asus Eee PC 1201N that has more than the 1201HA's 2 GBs of ram, as well as a greater processor speed than the 1201HA's 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520. The Asus Eee PC 1201HA comes with an option of black, blue or red. It has an extremely underpowered webcam, 0.3 megapixels, and a 6 cell battery that lasts an approximate of eight hours. The netbook has a decent 250GB of storage and offers an additional 500GB of web-based storage. The Asus Eee PC 1201HA comes with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.
