ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
ASUS today introduced its first Eee PC based on Nvidia's ION platform, the 1201N. It features the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chipset, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 12-inch display with a 1366x768 resolution. Other features include N wireless, HDMI out, Windows 7 Home Premium, and a claimed 11 hours of battery life from the included six-cell battery. There is no word on pricing or availability, though it would not be unreasonable to assume it to arrive on Windows 7's launch date, 22 October.

Re: ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
CULVs are taking over the netbook world. ION showed up to the party too late.

Re: ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
woohoo nice. ive been looking for something close to what I have now but with longer battery life. this fits the bill.
I have to laugh about CULV. its been around awhile and just now people are like hey, look at this. this is cool. haha. better late then never I guess. while clearly superior to the atom, its also like 25x the cost.

The reason it is big now is because before you had to pay $2k to get a notebook with an SU9400, now you can get one for $800 or less. Whats so funny about that?

Re: ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
ION has been around almost as long.
ION was announced in December 2008.
The first CULVs and Celeron 723 popped up 4 months prior in August.

Re: ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
Why bother debating?
You can either get a system with a sweet integrated nvidia chipset and a crap Atom CPU or one with a sweet CULV and a crap 4500MHD.
Personally, I'd take CULV.

No one is debating, AppleUsr is just wrong in his thinking. Cheap machines with low voltage processors did not exist until Intel rebranded them as "new" culv.

Re: ASUS Intros Nvidia ION-Based Eee PC
