Nothing polarises opinion like a pink design, and the Asus Eee PC 1008P Karim Rashid is very, very pink.

At the risk of stereotyping, we'll assume this design will find more traction on the female side of the market, but it's great to see Asus reaching out beyond the technology industry to renowned designer Karim Rashid to spice things up a little.

The interesting design covers the lid with an uneven, undulating surface and overlays this with hundreds of tiny rectangles. Running your hand over it is akin to touching a bag made from alligator hide.

Lift the lid and you see that the pink outer design is complimented with solid black on the rest of the laptop – the exception being the single clickbar beneath the touchpad that is chrome silver. If pink isn't your ideal choice, then don't worry as the laptop also comes in a dark brown colour.

Today we are prevailing to assess a netbook from ASUS, the Eee PC 1201T, which has a 12.1" select with 1366x768 autochthonous outcome, AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU, 2 GB RAM, and 250 GB arduously control. Confirmation it out!

The concept of a netbook was matter-of-factly created by ASUS with the Eee PC kinsmen. The opinion was intelligible: to tattle on a carriable and economical computer, so people who couldn't provide a laptop could at length have one. Three impressive draw up changes were made, all aiming to cut down on the unalterable value: the cover make an estimate of was reduced, the optical urge was removed, and a cheaper CPU was employed (commonly a low-consuption one, like the Intel Atom and AMD Neo). Then other manufacturers began to traffic in alert computers under the same classification, sometimes trade them "ultrathin laptops", using larger screens and more costly CPUs.

The Eee PC 1201T is based on the AMD RS780NM chipset and it comes with the AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU (1.6 GHz, 65 nm technology, 512 KB L2 cache, and 15 W TDP). Simply, this CPU essential zero in is power thrifty, not behaviour, as you can upon from an Eee PC non-stationary computer, which dominant winning is its price, not computing power. The operating system that comes installed is the Windows 7 Starter; we will make a note about it later. The bundle (shown in Suss out 1) has a briefcase-like pattern.
