Having scaled-down laptops capable of undertaking standard tasks such as accessing the web as well as checking e mail is an original advancement of Asus. They weigh less, stay powered longer, and are much less pricey than their counterparts at 14 inches. If these mini netbooks happen to be running on Windows 7 they’re notably vulnerable to running sluggishly which cuts down on the opportunity to multitask. Faster hardware was used in the Asus 1201N but the result was that the life of the battery was reduced. The Asus EEE PC 1215N is the successor intending to combine overall performance along with value along with greater portability.

Strengths

Adual-core Intel Atom D525 processor takes on more demanding tasks, that’s standard with the Asus EEE PC Notebook and not in many others. As it comes with 2 GB of MEMORY, it runs significantly better with most other applications running simultaneously, even with Windows 7. It’s not a problem to play back content through HDMI, as with its predecessor, as it still features the NVIDIA ION GPU. It also makes it surprisingly effective at playing many 3D game titles. Many games will likely need to be played on the lowest settings, nevertheless, the general performance far exceeds other solutions available. A large amount of power isn’t used with the integrated graphics used with portable laptops, and that helps with no socket around to plug into. The Intel GMA 3150 is the default GPU, a nice characteristic of the 1215N. When a demanding program or online game is launched, the NVIDIA ION becomes active because of the NVIDIA Optimus technology. As a result normal usage time for the 1215N is normally 5 hours.

More pixels derive from the 12. 1 inch display screen. There’s enough room for your workspace and all the programs to perform with a 1366 by 768 resolution, and run well with that size as well. At an amazing 96% of the full size, the key pad enables touch typists to type with only a small adjustments. It includes 2 regular 2. 0 USB ports as well as a 3. 0 port giving compatible external harddrives a substantial boost in speed.

Disadvantages

The Asus EEE PC 1215N notebook is actually a tad heavier than other netbooks although nothing too extreme. Students as well as travelers will enjoy that it’s smaller sized with a lot less bulk, weighing below 3 and half lbs. The touchpad could also make use of some improvement with regards to usability. The buttons are a tad too resistant and make a loud click. It is handy to use a mouse for this reason.

Conclusion

There are mini netbooks of this size that will operate for 8 to 10 hours straight without the need of charging but the Asus EEE PC 1215N notebook makes the right amount of sacrifices in the interest of good performance for many common programs and even Warcraft. Combined with the sub- $500 price tag, the 1215N is more functional than the tablet computer.
