Asus are working on a couple of new 12 inch Eee netbooks named the Asus Eee 1201N and the Asus Eee 1201HA. Both feature a 12.1 inch screen running at a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

The main difference between the two new models is the processor with the Asus 1201N being the quicker of them running at 1.6GHz compared to the 1201HA running at 1.33GHz. Also the 1201HA also has less RAM, a slightly smaller harddrive and no HMDI port either. Each have a 6 cell battery capable of giving about 8 hours of light usage which isn’t too bad considering the screen size. Both of the Asus netbooks will run the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which indicates that October 22 is the absolute earliest these netbooks will be made available. [Read more…]
