Netbook Options

From www.netbookboards.com

Asus has been busy releasing the latest netbook options like the Eee PC 1201N and Eee PC 1201HA.  Acer on the other hand has also been busy and has already announced their version of the Packard Bell Acer Butterfly touchscreen netbook.

So Asus has put together their version of the touchscreen tablet netbook, the Eee PC t91MT.

We are still not sure of the main specs, but it can be sure to have the benefits of Windows 7 OS.

Two days until 22 of October 2009 or until the release of Windows 7 which will be available on most netbook options.

So far, netbooks have been for the most part running on Windows XP OS.  However, Windows 7 OS will cater more towards the netbook option boom by a few clutch options:

Here are a few of the benefits of Windows 7 OS for Netbook Options:

• Faster with a more responsive performance, from start up to shutdown and standby, should be much faster.
• Desktop enhancements- easy to compare two open screens using the new Snap method.
• Homegroup- easy to share files in you home PC network.
• Windows Search- uses libraries to show information making it easier to for search results.
• Steaming Media- easier to stream all kinds of media.
• Taskbar and full screen- rearranging icons and programs on the taskbar is easy as ever.
• Jump Lists- easy to reach the files that have just been worked with.
• Device management- device management will be easier to manage with all sorts of printer, and any other devices.

We will soon find out how the new benefits of Windows 7 OS will hold out on the newest netbook options.

The pre-order of Windows 7 is now available and lucky for us, Amazon Netbooks has created a page of all the netbook options which will soon be released with the OS.

Netbook options have usually been outfitted with Intel Atom N270 processor chips or an example like the Sony Vaio X with an Intel Atom Z540.  Other netbooks have full size CPU’s like the Acer 1810T with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300.

Intel Atom has been working on their newest sets of Atom processors that have been rumored to be available soon for netbook options.

The benefits from previous Atom chips are that they will require much less physical space in a netbook than older versions, saving space to create more compact netbooks.  This can be good for portability as well as migrationology.

The Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz could be launched on the 3rd of January.  It will sell at $64 which is $20 more than older versions.

The Intel Atom N470 1.86GHz will also be released as part of the chipset and probably in March 2010 according to Fudzilla.  The N470 1.86GHz will cost $75.

Let’s see in the future how these new and updated versions of Intel Atoms processors will improve our netbook options.

These 2 new netbooks from Asus are slightly larger than usual with 12.1 inch screens, yet the bodies are still small and can sill be considered netbook options.

The Asus 1201N and 1201HA models have not yet been released but the specs have been leaked.  Let’s take a look at what we can look forward to:

Asus Eee PC 1201N:

• 1.6GHz Intel Atom N330 dual core
• 12.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixels
• NVIDIA ION (GeForce 9400M)
• 3GB DDR2
• 320GB HDD + 500GB web-based storage
• 802.11b/g/n WiFI, Bluetooth, Ethernet
• 6 cells, 8 hours battery
• Windows 7 Home Premium
• 3.1 pounds

Here are the specs for the Asus Eee PC 1201HA:

• 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520
• 12.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixels
• Intel US15W / GMA 500 graphics
• 2GB DDR2
• 250GB HDD + 500GB web-based storage
• 802.11b/g/n WiFI, Bluetooth, Ethernet
• 6 cells, 8 hours battery
• 3.1 pounds

The Asus Eee PC 1201 HA will most likely be the budget model of the two judging from the specs.  Both look like pretty decent machines.

Still not sure when either of these will officially be available as Asus has not actually officially released either.  The specs were leaked on Eee PC Italia.
