ION-Powered 12-inch ASUS EEE PC 1201N Netbook coming soon

ASUS is very soon going to unveil its first ION-powered netbook, EEE PC 1201N in the month of October. Having an 12.1-inch display, this netbook is surely not going to be as compact as the current seashell line of netbooks by ASUS (read our EEE 1008HA seashell review). Packing a respectable 1366×768 resolution, it also has a GeForce 9400M G ION chipset coupled with an Intel Atom N270 processor (1.6GHz). It has 250GB HDD and 2GB RAM.

Along with standard radios (Bluetooth, WiFi-n), it is backed by a decent 6-cell 5200mAh battery that is rated to give you up to 11 hours of runtime. It will be bundled with the Windows 7 Home Premium OS and will be priced at $499

Qi Smartbook U1000 – Windows Mobile 6.1 based MID

Meet the Qi Smartbook U1000, a Windows Mobile MID that comes with a 5-inch screen and has 800×480 resolution (WVGA).

It has a mighty 624MHz processor to keep everything breezy. It has built-in WiFi and a huge 1900mAh to make sure you are able to use the MID full day. There is a camera at the back of the unit too.

The reason why this MID does not have more than WXGA resolution is the fact that Windows Mobile does not support more than WVGA (800×480) resolution. However, there is no excuse not to bundle it with Windows Mobile 6.5, which is the latest Windows Mobile version.

ASUS Eee Keyboard to finally coming to Europe in October – Retail price 499 Euros = Too Expensive for an Atom-powered device!

After delaying it so many times, ASUS Eee Keyboard will finally ship to Europe at the end of October for 499 Euros. The unique ASUS Eee Keyboard is essentially a netbook wrapped and packed into a keyboard chassis and with a small WVGA touchscreen display. It comes with an Atom N270 Processor, VGA and HDMI out. For storage, you get a tiny 16GB SSD.

It also has3 USB 2.0 ports, WiFi and Bluetooth and it runs Windows XP Home. Its dimension are 145 x 425 x 24.4 mm and weighs 1.1 kg. ASUS claims that it would be able to give you nearly 4 hours of battery life which is commendable considering how tiny this thing is! The keyboard has backlight and you will have no problems working on it in the dark.

The only thing not to like about the EEE keyboard is the fact that it costs way too much for an Atom-powered device. If the ASUS can bring the price down to something like 399 Euros, it will make it very tempting for the normal consumer.
