Yes, it uses a single core N450 but improved Ion 2 graphics. It's more of a lateral alternative than a real improvement to the 1201N. I'll wait until the next gen 1201 with dual core D510s gets released. :)

It will actually be based on pinetrail (single core) processor which will be a step back but increase battery life

I have no idea. I bought one and it never worked. Sent it back and received another one. It lasted two weeks and it stopped working. I slammed it against a wall and went out and bought my granddaughter an ASUS netbook and she loves it.

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.

it is amazing laptop, however i would wait until the new version hits the market (has a much more powerful gpu and almost retina display similar to apple products), should be pretty soon!

Wow, didn't know ASUS would reply here. Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I ordered mines on Nov 6 and I've been wondering when to expect mines.

Search Chromebook 2 benchmark and see what you come up with. Some of the early indications don't sound real promising. Still, until there are some reviews that really put one through its paces its just speculation, as benchmark tests aren't always the end all be all of performance. I pre-ordered one and will be writing a review. Fingers crossed.

I went for the dn1000 instead of the 810, because of the GUI. Other than that I really didnt see much of a difference in spec wise. My friend has the 810 and I will be receiving mine next week.

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

I was going to buy a prime in January, but then started reading about all the problems with WiFi and GPS. Figured I'd wait for the 700, and meanwhile checked out all the competition. I still have an ASUS 1000HE netbook that has been flawless for five years so really wanted to try ASUS again. When the 300 showed up months ahead of the 700 I figured why not? I've had mine less than a week but I'm delighted with it and glad I didn't wait. I can't see how any of the functionality promised by the 700 (or the Prime, for that matter) would make any difference in how I use the 300. It does everything I need and does it well (so far).

The model I purchased had a Pentium D processor clocked at 3.4ghz but I think it was a single core rather than a dual core. If you plan on upgrading it I have done some researching and I know the pentium dual core is supported and I have had one confirmation that the intel core 2 quad extreme q6700 is also supported but I cannot confirm as I have not tested it myself.

My take on the UL20A vs. the 1201N is as follows; If you want to pay $80 less, less battery life, less weight, but be able to play 1080P media and games, then get the 1201N. Otherwise, get the UL20A. The battery life on the 1201N isn't that bad, I can get 4.5 hours or so with medium usage, maybe 2-3 if I play 1080P media continuously. It's pretty decent for its capabilities.

The Netgear web site finally stopped showing "Coming Soon" but they had none in stock to buy. I finally saw availability on Amazon's site this morning so I bit the bullet. Unfortunately they STILL show 1-2 month wait while another company said it had 10 in stock at the time, but for $25 more. There are a couple of "reviews" from "beta" testers already out but there's nothing written that I would call good information yet about the hardware. If they were "beta testers" then they may have had previous firmware or even hardware revision units like the ones with less RAM.

Hmmm, now I can't find any mention of a release date. I've been looking at a ton of tablets, so I could be wrong about Feb, but I'm pretty sure it was "early next year". Maybe I read it on one of the replies to questions on about the current version. Were you able to cancel your order for the one that's available now? I wish I would have ordered it when it was $199.

thank you very much karen for that answer, it does help. so i have no regret when it comes to my purchase of the 120 001us. i just do not need that bluetooth stuff. i'm quite satisfied and it does all what i need. may be a little more power would be welcome but for the price and portability it's just absolutely great, thanks to msi !
