ASUS EeePC 1201N Netbook Available on NewEgg

Tweet

If a couple of weeks ago we reported that Amazon is starting to take pre-orders for the new ASUS EeePC 1201N netbook with a shipping date rumored for January 15th. So here we are today browsing through NewEgg for some deals and we laid our eyes on the EeePC 1201N only to see that the company is selling and shipping (although not confirmed) the much awaited device.

From what it looks like, NewEgg has instated a quantity limit of only one unit per customer in an effort to “best distribute our more popular products evenly to our vast customer base”. Yes folks that means that you can buy onle one ASUS EeePC 1201N every 48 hours, only!

For those out of the know, the new ASUS Eee PC 1201N is not an average netbook as it brings a more powerful 1.6GHz Intel Atom N330 dual core processor (how about an ARM in there guys?), has an NVIDIA ION (GeForce 9400M) chipset under the hood and a 12.1″ WXGA display to get the eyes with. Unlike the Amazon version this one only has 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive (plus the 500GB web-based storage space).

Price is $499 and is only available in black.
