Asus 1215T Review

Asus 1215Ti another netbook with a 12.1 inch screen, but the Neo has a 1.7GHz processor and ATI HD 4250 graphics card. In these tests, the GPU is fully capable of rendering 1080p HD video.

This is a black piano finish around the 12-inch box, which attracts lots of fingerprints, but since it's not a touchscreen device, it should not touch these areas a lot. I loved his two tone black-on-silver finish, but was disappointed to see the average build quality. Just do not expect Apple-like build quality here. Its screen box also has a 1.3 mega pixel camera with a slider cover to protect it from dust.

comes into its own keyboard, important keys such as Enter are smaller in size compared to the Asus Eee PC 1201T - its predecessor. I had no problems using its touchpad, but one strip below the touchpad requires a firm press to register a 'click'.

Performance wise, it is much better than most single core Atom PCs out there with the GMA 3150 graphics. It comes with an AMD Neo K125 II processor and ATI Radeon HD 4250 HD graphics which are definitely better than the Atom and the GMA 3150 combo. It also comes with a 320GB HDD, 2GB RAM, VGA port and three USB ports along with HDMI connector. My netbook comes preloaded with ExpressGate - quick boot Linux OS. Fortunately, Asus has made ​​the Windows 7 drivers available on their web site. I installed version of Windows 7, not experience any problems.

Now, here's the downside is that too much power in the netbook - a weak battery. It delivered 3.5 hours in my YouTube video test with normal web surfying it gave me about 4.5 hours. This is fine for me, but may not be enough for a netbook-ers who are used to 10 plus hours of runtime. Asus Eee PC 1215Ti is priced at $ 400, which is about 50-60 U.S. dollars more expensive than the Atom launches 10-inch netbook. Although its build quality is exceptional, it certainly has more power than 10-inchers.
