Peter,
When do you think you might be able to review the asus 1201n?
When it gets released here in Japan. Not having any luck contacting ASUS USA.
Thanks for participating!
A lot of stores have been going in and out of stock with this netbook. I think it has to deal with the amount of interest in an ION netbook with a large screen.
I’ve actually created a stock checker for the 1201N so you can tell where it’s actually available and where the good prices are.
Even though the MSRP is $499, some places are already selling it for under $490.
The checker can be found here: http://www.netbookreports.com/2010/01/asus-1201n-stock-tracker-updated-daily/
