I just bought a little Acer AOD250 to fulfill my netbook needs, but at $550 I'm definitely going to consider returning the AOD 250 and picking up 1810TZ.

Question, is the lid Matte or Glossy?]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
Its glossy...which may be the only turnoff for some users....but with a portable like this Its very easy to reposition yourself from any glare....and the display goes very far back in adjustability, much like the new macbook pro's]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
Oh you meant the actual lid not the screen....Also glossy. lol. But I have the blue one (very nice dark navy blue) So it hides fingerprints a bit better than the black]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/Dec 10th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/Yes it has an HDMI port....and a 5-in-1 Card Reader slot.]]>Dec 10th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/Dec 10th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/Dec 10th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
It runs 720p and 1080p and hulu/ HQ YouTube without a hitch thanks to the CULV and thats all I really care about. I don't see the appeal of gaming on an 11.6" notebook, but understand the desire for some other people. I whip out the 15" MacBook Pro w/ bootcamp if I want portable gaming. General purpose use, and multitasking is more important to me...and the ION GPU does nothing to help the slow Atom CPU on that front.]]>Dec 10th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
Also, 12" is too big and defeats the purpose of a netbook. do yourself a favor and save up another $150-300 and buy something in the 13.3" category which comes with much nicer specs.

Yeah thats the 1201HA model, which looks just as nice, but no Ion graphics, and no dual core CPU. It has the N270.

You are not doing much of any of this with Intel's integrated graphics, and while a CULV processor might be a big step up from an Atom 330, I don't know what you're going to be doing where you want all the extra power with little multimedia oomph to back it up.]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
Well, for example, I was playing Dragon Age at my local café this morning on my u30vt, with 3 hours of battery cranked to max settings. Yes, it's bigger than a netbook (though I'd argue the 1201n is too big to be a netbook), but it's very light and capable of playing modern games, not just "light" games. And, on the fly, you can downclock/switch to integrated graphics and get 10 hours of battery life when needed.

Yes, there's $300 difference- you can't argue that. But there's also a significant performance difference. This laptop has replaced both my netbook AND my main laptop with very little compromise.]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/Dec 10th 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
Well, I guess I'm on the other side.. I want small, thin & light, with as much graphic power to back it up as possible. I'm betting that the 330 combo with Ion will be pretty slick, and while 4500 is alright for HD, it simply won't handle the multimedia I'm looking to dig into with programming, nor the light older games I want to be able to rock on trips or at LAN parties, like Warcraft 3 and UT.

To each their own, I suppose.]]>Dec 10th 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/asus-eee-pc-1201n-dons-burgundy-garb-you-still-cant-have-one/
