ASUS EeePC 1215N Review

The ASUS EeePC 1215N has both the performance and mobility to meet the call. It features the new Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor, Next-Generation NVIDIA ION graphics, and a stunning 12.1-inch HD display to give you all the power needed for on-the-go HD enjoyment. And with NVIDIA Optimus Technology, the EeePC 1215N intelligently switches between NVIDIA ION graphics and embedded graphics to optimize battery life without compromising performance. Add in the LED-backlit display and ASUS Super Hybrid Engine, you can stay unplugged up to 7 hours between charges.¹ Along with long-lasting mobility, it has a compact, scratch-resistant design that fits nicely in carrying cases and backpacks – ideal for both long trips or day-to-day errands.

The EeePC 1215N is also one of the select few with HDMI connectivity. So when you feel like super-sizing your HD movies, simply connect to an HDTV and enjoy Full 1080p HD visuals and up to 8 channel sound. What's more, you get a total of 750GB of hybrid storage – 500GB of ASUS WebStorage² and a spacious 250GB hard drive – to store, share, and back up your music, videos, and other valuable data. The ASUS Eee PC 1215N comes with full-size chiclet keyboard, stereo speakers, high-speed wireless N, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Eee PC 1215N has more surface area for a wider, more comfortable palm rest. The ergonomic chiclet keyboard is full-size, with concave keys that direct your finger to the center of the surface.

Weighing less than 3.5 lbs (with battery), the thin and light ASUS Eee PC 1215N is compact so you can use it on a plane or any tight space with room to spare. The multi-touch trackpad lets you easily zoom in and out to view photos or read documents simply by sliding two fingertips together or apart.

Evolutionary upgrade to the 1201N; still can't run Crysis, but can play Starcraft 2

By	Senor Zoidbergo (Washington D.C.)

This review is from: ASUS EeePC Seashell 1215N-PU17-SL 12.1-Inch Netbook (Silver) (Personal Computers)

When I first reviewed the Asus 1201N in January 2010 (see my Amazon review for that netbook), I stated that it was the best netbook on the market. A lot of time (in the consumer electronics world) has passed since that review, and Asus has released the upgrade to the 1201N, in the form of the 1215N. Does the 1215N take the crown from the 1201N, and is the ASUS Eee PC 1215N the best netbook available today (September 2010) on the market?

In a word, YES! The major gripe about the 1201N was of course the limited battery life, approximately 3.5 hours on average. Even though I primarily used my 1201N near an electrical outlet, there were times when I had to go portable with it, and the short battery life was painfully insufficient. Asus has upgraded both the processor and the graphics technology for the 1215N. The processor is the desktop grade Intel D525 1.8 GHz dual-core processor, a step-up from the dual core Atom 330s powering the initial 1201N. While I would've liked to see Intel's new N550 dual core Atom processors on the 1215N instead, the D525s are more than sufficient. I suspect that Asus will release their next version of the 12XXN series with some sort of new lower power dual core processor and graphics technology.


Great Second Computer/Netbook

By	R. Bomalaski

This review is from: ASUS EeePC Seashell 1215N-PU17-BK 12.1-Inch Netbook with 6 Hours of Battery Life - Black (Personal Computers)

First let me preface that I DO own this product and I will actually put forth my review after this paragraph.

Before I get started, if you're looking at this computer make sure you're getting it for the right reasons. This is NOT a replacement/main computer. Whether netbooks can be or not isn't the point. The current built-in limitations from Intel make it so that their philosophy is essentially the rule. They are the company at "fault" and when looking at what Asus has done with what Intel has allowed, this really is a great computer. A lot of the more critical reviews seem to expect a bit more out of this than what it's advertised for. That said, it's very hard to not judge this as a normal laptop. The combination of the potential power of the machine, along with its form factor, have it walk the line between netbook and ultra portable. And if you know this going in, I feel like you'll be more than satisfied.



ASUS 1215N Review

ASUS 1215N Review


This laptop / netbook is a solid choice for those seeking performance, ultra portable, and a quality design for their computer needs. I recently purchased the ASUS 1215N and am satisfied with the product.

The ASUS 1215N is technically a netbook in that the screen is 12.1 inches, but that is where the comparisons stop. The 1215N does not suffer netbook set backs in terms of performance, capability, and functionality. I use my 1215N as my primary personal laptop and have no regrets about that.

Essentially the 1215N is the next generation of netbook and, as of this writing (Sep 2010), the best choice you can get on the market. The 1215N beats all competitors currently for this netbook niche at price, performance, and abilities.
