Asus has anounced that not all notebooks with NVIDIA graphics ION yet, but a Chinese business has a produict page for a 1201N Eee PC lazptop with a 12-inch display, 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU and NVIDIA graphics ION posed.
The laptop wuld also have 2 GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive, which was a pretty good indication that this case was not suitable, the strreets before Windows will hit all 7, 22 October will start. Microsoft prohibits netbook makers from the installation of Windows XP licxenses for low-cost machines with more than 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB of meory.
The Eee PC 1201N display is a widescreen HD display with a resoolution of 1366 x 768 pxels. And NVIDIA GeForce 9400M chip looks like an ION-chip, non-ION LE, as call data support for DirectX 10.
The laptop has also been reported, 802.11b g n WiFi, Erthernet, a VGA port, USB, Audio I O, and a 6 cell, 5200mAh battery, which can take up to 11 housr duration. I suspect they will not be anywhere near the kind of batetry life when playing back HD video.
If the image is correct, it looks like the 12-inch laptop will take deisgn cues from the Asus Eee PC 1101HA, 1005HA, and other “shell”-series netbooks. But it is also possiblle that ’sjust an image from an existting model like the 1101HA.
