Asus Eee PC 1201PN
$400.00
Released May, 2010
The Pros:12.1" 720p capable display (1366 x 768px). Available in black, red and silver. Comes with 2GB standard - a good improvement over the majority of netbooks which still come with a limiting 1GB.
The Cons:Slower single core processor than it's earlier predecessor the 1201N. Cheap looking and feeling glossy black exterior - picks up fingerprints smudges and scratches easily. Annoying dimpled black touchpad (no edges, or different material used) with stiff button.

The 1201PN is equipped with NVIDIA's Optimus technology, which rises the NVIDIA graphics processing unit to high levels of graphics performance when called for and switches to more battery power-saving modes the rest of the time. The 1201PN comes with Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, which is fully backward compatible with Bluetooth 1.2. At 3.22 pounds, this netbook weighs in on the light side.
