Comments on: Asus Eee PC 1201N unboxed! http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/12/01/asus-eee-pc-1201n-unboxed/ The only tech you need Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:10:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Avid http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/12/01/asus-eee-pc-1201n-unboxed/comment-page-1/#comment-55106 Avid Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:44:30 +0000 http://www.electricpig.co.uk/?p=50145#comment-55106 I have done a lot of research which includes: Samsung N510, Lenovo S12, Asus N10J-A2, HP Mini 311, .... two more models... but all these could not match the Asus 1201n. Nice move Asus, that too at such affordable price. I thought purchasing HP Mini 311, since I saw a video of GTA 4 gameplay, but made up my mind to purchase this as it is much better in hardware & color (All Black!) too.

Am going in for this model as its got a good processor as well the Ion graphics & 5 hours battery during normal use. The only I need to know is if it can handle GTA 4 in 1024 x 768 resolution with all settings to minimum (Have to be sure it has no lag). I am stressing on GTA 4 gameplay, since it is both CPU & GPU intensive game. Cause if it plays this game, we can be pretty sure it can handle any other game well. Could you help me out with this & if possible do post the FPS. I am really excited. Thanks. :)) (Getting it for $500 + 4% VAT) Great configuration.

This particular model is very similar to the 1201N (3.3lbs, 12.1? screen, 6 cell – 7.5hr battery) but sports a 1.3GHz core 2 duo processor (slightly lower clock speed, hugely larger L2 cache at 3MB vs 512kb) and Intel X4500MHD graphics (which probably is vastly inferior to nVidia’s Ion) I’m looking forward to this review, and hope the review would compare the 1201N with ultraportables using intel’s CULV such as the ASUS UL20A-A1.

If to hot not sure will get one. Heat and Arizona doesn't sound good for this unit. Nice. If to hot not sure will get one. Heat and Arizona doesn’t sound good for this unit.

Will you include some numbers regarding how hot you can get it in the full review? What does it idle at, and what can you push it to? My current laptop was manufactured with one of those defective 8600M's about a year ago and the heat issues have worn down my hardware pretty bad (I've got several auxiliary fans cooling it- otherwise it'll get to 100C and trigger the thermal off switch, idles around 40C-50C, games at 70-80C). I'd hate to dump my laptop to move onto something with the same problem. Oh wow. Will you include some numbers regarding how hot you can get it in the full review?

Still, nothing that will leave a scar - stay tuned for the full review soon. Hi Marc – you’re on the money here, it’s pretty scorching!
