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.Update - Asus Eee 1201T review is now onlineSpecifications:

• 12.1-inch display
• 1366x768 resolution
• 320GB of HDD or 256GB + 500GB
• 2GB RAM
• 6-cell Battery
• Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
• 2 Audio Jack
• 1 VGA port
• memory card reader
• weight: 1.46kg

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.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-pc-1201t/feed/ 3 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/10-inch-via-powered-netbook-costing-185-made-in-china/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/10-inch-via-powered-netbook-costing-185-made-in-china/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:14:15 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=11938 Chipset: VIA VX855 1.6GHz RAM: 1GB DDR2 HDD: 160GB Display: 10.2”, 1024 x 600 resolution Battery: 3-cell 220mAh Weight: 1.2kg Ports: 3xUSB, VGA, LAN, card reader Price: USD 185The VIA C7 was used in the 1st generation netbooks like HP Mini 2133, whose performance was disappointing as it came with Vista.

It is rated to give you upto 4.5 hours of battery life. What makes me feel weird is the fact that most of the manufactures are still sticking to the old Intel Atom N270 processor, which is so yester year.
