ASUS Shatters Netbook Conventions with High Performance Eee PC™ 1201N Multimedia Netbook

Effective integration of Intel® Atom™ 330 Dual Core Processor and NVIDIA® ION™ Graphics Acceleration delivers unprecedented netbook performance.
Multimedia-minded consumers who prize the portability of netbooks but lament the typical lack of processing muscle now have a reason to rejoice. ASUS has launched the Eee PC™ 1201N, a multimedia netbook with an Intel® Atom™ 330 dual core processor and an NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processor that delivers a level of performance never before seen on netbooks. The Eee PC™ 1201N also offers exceptional typing comfort through a full-sized ergonomic chiclet keyboard, and comes with an estimated 750GB hybrid storage to house and host massive multimedia collections.

Faster than Ever Before

The Eee PC™ 1201N marks a radical departure from other netbooks that usually feature single core Atom™ processors. With its Intel® Atom™ 330 dual core processor, NVIDIA ION graphics, and two-DIMM, dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the Eee PC™ 1201N will set new netbook performance benchmarks.

A New World of Multimedia Possibilities
The Eee PC™ 1201N features the award-winning NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processor which provides a superior multimedia experience including support for HD video and PC games. NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology further boosts the Eee PC™ 1201N's ability to work with visual content, accelerating processor-intensive tasks such as video editing and conversion.

The Eee PC™ 1201N also comes preinstalled with ArcSoft SimHD, which upscales standard definition video content to high definition. SimHD, a plug-in for ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater, dramatically enhances the quality of images and supports a wide range of file formats. Users can enjoy a smooth HD video experience on the unit's 12.1" high definition screen, or have the option of enjoying full 1080p HD video with true-fidelity 7.1 audio on HDTVs via the built-in HDMI port.

Rene Haas, general manager for notebook GPUs at NVIDIA said, "The ASUS Eee PC 1201N delivers exceptional performance for a netbook. This ION-powered Eee PC is ideal for anyone who wants a netbook with the ability to watch HD video, share and edit photos, play casual games, and convert video to a portable media player. With the upcoming Flash Player 10.1 from Adobe, it will soon handle streaming HD video as well as a high-end desktop PC."

Massive Storage for Massive Multimedia Collections
The Eee PC™ 1201N is fully equipped to handle the large amounts of memory that digital media consumes. Boasting an estimated 250GB HDD and 500GB of online ASUS WebStorage—a total of 750GB—the Eee PC™ 1201N provides ample storage for users' movies, music and photos.
