obsolete before release: The Z500 series processors are about to hit the netbook market, with 720p capable displays and for about the same (at most) price as this, why bother?

Sony and Dell are already using Z processors. The price is $500+ for the similar specs. MSI Wind U115 has been released in Japan, China and some parts of Europe - it uses Z processor. The price is around $700+. I really doubt that the netbooks with Z processors would cost the same. It would take some time for them to come down to this price range.

Tested? I don't know. I did order it based on comments in another thread. The netbook has shipped. I haven't received a shipping confirmation on the memory yet. There are comments elsewhere on Amazon about people using the faster memory without any trouble. I am more likely to leave comments in these discussion threads than write a review after I've used the netbook some.

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

As indicated in the title of the discussion: Asus eee pc 1201n. Pricing and availability have not been announced by Asus. That is the point of the discussion.

The newer model of the N56 series is the N550 series. At this time I haven't seen an AMD based N550. I don't think the sales were all that strong for the AMD based N56 though. If you go on notebookreview forums there's almost no posts about it. I'm typing this message on an N56DP btw. It's a great little machine, but the default wifi card is crap. Got an intel 6250 on order to replace that. But the sound system, backlit keyboard, 1080p screen etc make it a great machine otherwise. Got 16Gig in mine and running ubuntu on it and am very very happy with it so far.

yeah I decided to wait, was only getting a laptop to have an extra computer in the house and for the occasional vacation use so no rush, sounds like the new i5 ulv chips will run circles around the current ones, and remember even though they use 18W, that is with the gpu included so its really the same as the current ones. They overclock themselves (no need for Asus to do it), now lets just hope some manufactures combine a good switchable card and battery with them. think UL30VT with twice the performance on the gpu and cpu side with almost the same battery life for under $1K.

I havn't seen any new netbooks under $200 with anything close to these spec's, perhaps a 3 year old Dell Mini 9 would run around $200.

More because it's OC(overclocked). Don't waste your money the improved 700 series equivalent is coming and it will be similarly priced(I'm personally grabbing the 770 lightning).

It looks like not many people did. There are lots of business laptops with the i5 processor starting at around $1000. Still this looks like a nice product, and the ability to remove the keyboard and have a lightweight tablet makes it desirable. Now that the 4th generation Haswell processor is out, there will be some deals on this machine.

Because this is a high end netbook it probably doesn't have sufficient cpu resources to play most of the higher end games. Because it does have a good video adapter setup it will stream videos nicely. If you are buying it mostly for game playing you probably have the wrong type of laptop.

I think you pretty much answered your own question. The Archos isn't even in the same league as the Eee netbook. Netbook wins.

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

apparently not you, so why are you here? show me a laptop with similar quality screen, weight, and battery life that has a better processor, video, trackpad, OS, appearance and price, cause i need to buy one.

No. It is one of the weakest processors out there. Do not buy this laptop. I deeply regret getting it.

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar. Thanks.

Ha... what? I'm assuming if their is a similar model to this laptop with a "better definition" it going to have a higher resolution like 1920 x 1080 as compared to the model i own is set to a lower resolution.
