Asus Eee PC 1201T

After recently Asus launching Eee PC 1201N and the eee 1201HA, Asus is going to release a new 12-incher, the Eee PC 1201T. Interestingly, ASUS has gone with AMD this time; equipping the Eee 1201T with an AMD Congo MV40 processor (1.6GHz). It even features an integrated ATI Radeon HD3200 chipset.

The ASUS EEE PC 1201T is fully capable of running 1080p videos with ease, something which most of the netbooks so far have struggled to cope up with. The keyboard on the ASUS EEE 1201T is chiclet, which looks similar to the one found in the SONY VAIO X and SONY VAIO P. It comes with a 6-cell battery. Asus claims that you will be able to get 4 hours of runtime from it. This clearly shows that the AMD Congo is nowhere as power-efficient as the Atom CPUs.

So, you do get 1-2 hours less battery runtime, but on the brighter side, you get much more muscle power.
