Fast Netbook New Asus Eee PC1215N

Fast Netbooks - Asus Eee PC 1215N

If you are looking for a fast netbook the you will soon have a new one to consider the Asus Eee PC 1215N. This will certainly be one the fastest netbooks money can buy if not the fastest. It is expected to be available on August 23.



Asus is of course the company that invented the netbook, but it has been losing market share to Acer, maybe the PC 1215N will bring back some of that market share to Asus. Not only is it fast at 1.8 GHz, it also has a 12.1" screen described as "massive", well in some domains 12.1" might be considered massive but on a computer it is barely adequate, but of course this is a netbook so compared to 10" I guess it looks quite big.

Another very important feature is that the PC 1215N has Windows 7 Home Premium installed as standard - if you are looking for a netbook do not get one that only has Windows 7 Starter it has serious limitations - go for the Home Premium version from the outset.

It looks interesting if you are looking for one of the fastest netbooks around - but it ain't particularly cheap at around $650.
