Asus Eee PC 1215N, 1215T in the flesh

If the Asus Lamborghini VX6 is beyond your budget, Asus offers a two more netbooks with a budget that’s up our alley — the Eee PC 1215N and 1215T — both of which are upgrades to the 1201N and 1201T.Like it’s predecessor, the Asus Eee PC 1215T is powered by an AMD processor but unlike the old ones which are glossy, this model already has a matte finish both on the lid and the palm rest.



Asus Eee PC 1215T specs:
12.1″ display @ 1366×768 pixels
AMD Athlon II Neo K125 @ 1.7GHz
ATI Radeon HD 4225
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0 (optional)
HDMI port
2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0 ports
SD/MMC card reader
0.3MP webcam
6-cell 5200mAh battery

The Eee PC 1215T can be bought without an OS and will most likely be within the same price range as the old 1201T (Php21k – Php23k).



The single core Athlon II Neo K125 got a sub-score of 3.6 while the whole system got a base score of 3.0 from the graphics.The other model, the Eee PC 1215N, comes with the new dual-core Intel Atom D525 running at 1.8GHz. The model also comes in two-toned silver and black brushed-metal finish.

The Eee PC 1215N is basically the regular version of the luxury model Asus Lamborghini VX6 we featured earlier.



We also got a screenshot of the Windows Experience Index of the unit. The dual-core CPU got only 3.5 sub-score which is a little intriguing considering the higher clock speed of the Atom processor (a Pentium Dual Core 1.3GHz SU4100 and Core 2 Duo SU7300 both score 4.0 on WEI).The suggested retail price is not yet final but if we base it on the 1201N, it will be around Php27k once it comes out in stores.
