ASUS Readies the F201E 11.6-inch Netbooks

Next week ASUS will be rekindling the netbook flame with the release of the F201E trio. The F201E models feature a 11.6-inch (1366 x 768) display, a 1.1 GHz Intel Celeron 847 processor, 2/4 GB of RAM, a 320/500 GB hard drive, a 0.3-megapixel webcam, a 3-in-1 card reader, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, and a 5,200 mAh battery enabling up to 5 hours of operation.

The cheapest of the F201E lot, priced at €299, runs Ubuntu and has 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB HDD. The same specs, paired up with Windows 8, cost €359. Last but not least, there's a €329 model with 2 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive.

Price seems nice - wonder if they'll release one on ARM to counter Samsung's Chromebook...

Not uncommon, the early netbooks are all shipped with various Linux flavours.

The first netbooks were shipped with crap GNU/Linux distributions with horrid support/repositories.

I think it's idiotic idea to copy Apple design, which i never liked, now even think pads and inspirons look like MacBooks (E330, E430...) :banghead:

The Celeron 847 has no "Trusted Execution" so it is not compatible with Win8 :confused:

Thread cleaned. The people who were arguing and insulting one another in this thread can now keep out of it.
