Title: ASUS Eee PC 1201N On Linux ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "For the past year my netbook of choice has been the Samsung

NC10 as while it shipped with stock Intel Atom hardware like other

netbooks such as the Dell Mini 9 and earlier ASUS Eee PCs, the Samsung

was built very well and possessed a rather large and well laid out

keyboard for only being a 10.6" mobile computer. Catching my attention

recently though has been the ASUS Eee PC 1201N netbook, which packs

quite a bit of horsepower with offering the Intel Atom 330 dual-core CPU

and NVIDIA's ION platform to provide compelling graphics capabilities.

The Eee PC 1201N also ships with 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a

1366 x 768 display that measures in at 12.1". Oh yeah, ASUS claims a

several hour battery life for this $500 USD netbook too along with a

full-size keyboard. As was alluded to last week, I ended up purchasing

the ASUS Eee PC 1201N as soon as it was made available on the Internet.

This is now the initial Phoronix rundown on the 1201N for how it works

with Ubuntu Linux, including many benchmarks."
