This is the platform second gen glossy and ultrathin form factor netbook and measures just 27.3mm at its thickest point. This baby indicated became the first model in the extensive series Eee PC, built on AMD platform.

This netbook is equipped with full-scale chicklet keyboard which I really love. :-BD  And display with 12.1" size 1366x768 pixels with light emitting diode. In the configuration enter the processor Neo MV-40, which works at the clock frequency 1.6GHz, the integrated graphics processor series Radeon HD 3200, 2GB RAM and HDD with 320GB volume.

From the other special features of 1201T can be attributed the adapters gigbit ethernet and WiFi. This 2 kilogram netbook is completed by 6 cell battery which ensures up to 4 hours of straight operation. I installed Window 7 Home Premium OS and Microsoft Office.This has most interesting aspect is the "Asus Hybird Storage" option, which allows for SSD and HDD storage.  :-BD

CONS
     * No HDMI output
     * Short battery life just around 4 hours for 6 cell ion.
     * No built-in microphone
     * speakers no where to find but I think its underneath the unit
     * Not a dual core processor (which at first I thought it has)
     * No bundled OS
