In August, we saw a leaked ASUS product road map. Right on cue, ASUS appears to be prepping larger laptops with the guts of a netbook. Liliputing says that two models of the 1201 recently found their way to various web sites. Here’s a rundown of the reported specs for the devices, both of which are expected to offer a 12.1-inch display with 1366×768 resolution and run Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium out of the box:
Asus Eee PC 1201N
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom N330, Nvidia ION
- 3GB of DDR2 RAM
- Up to 320GB storage
- 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, VGA out, 3 x USB and card reader
Asus Eee PC 1201HA
- 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 with Intel GMA 500
- 2GB of DDR2 RAM
- Up to 250GB storage
- 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, Ethernet, VGA out, 3 x USB and card reader
Each also has a webcam, a six-cell battery rated for eight hours, a trackpad with multitouch support, and weighs 3.1 pounds. Without any official news out of ASUS, there’s no pricing available yet. However, the product road map with these models showed a $499 price tag at the time. I wouldn’t expect either of these to be higher than that, but I could see the street price of the 1201HA come in around $450 or so.
