Yes, it uses a single core N450 but improved Ion 2 graphics. It's more of a lateral alternative than a real improvement to the 1201N. I'll wait until the next gen 1201 with dual core D510s gets released. :)

It will actually be based on pinetrail (single core) processor which will be a step back but increase battery life

They have released it. The new description "not in stock" is probably appropriate.I received my Aspire 1810T-8679 today.

FWIW the Amazon Canada site says it is due for release Feb 8th.http://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Seashell-1001P-MU17-BK-10-1-Inch-Netbook/dp/B00322PYUY/ref=sr_1_4/177-9098976-7904302?ie=UTF8&s;=electronics&qid;=1264457876&sr;=1-4

Same here :-PI'm wondering if Fujitsu would release a newer model anytime soon...

It seems like the NC10SE has the matte screen and the nice keyboard, putting it ahead of the 120 in my book. I haven't bought either so I'm not trying to justify a purchase after the fact. I guess the touchpad is bigger on the 120 and the battery life is better on the 120 with the ability to only charge to 80%. Wish I could see these matte and glossy screens in person.

i spoke to a asus rep and he told me that it is doubtful now that the 31 will release in the usa. I too was waiting on the 31 but I finally ordered the 21 and have not looked back. So far I am really loving it and do not regret my decision

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

My question exactly! This is definitely the notebook/netbook I want to buy, but I can't find it anywhere! I know it's on sale in Canada however.

i have the exact same question, and the only things i noticed different is the information next to the name in the accer page: Aspire One 722 AO722-BZ454 (LU.SFT02.002): Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit version - AMD C-Series Processor C-50 (1.0GHz, 1MB L2 cache) - 2GB DDR3 Single-Channel Memory... (beyond that point is the same in both netbooks). Aspire One 722AO722-BZ197 (LU.SFT02.068) Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit version - AMD Dual-Core Processor C-50 (1MB x 2 L2 cache, 1.0GHz) - 2GB DDR3 SDRAM... if somebody knows anything else, please let us know.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

but there are netbooks for under 200. and they do so much more. Chromebook at over 300 does seem odd.

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

The Future Shop website has been updated now with an expected release date of December 7th. Expansys still shows a November 19th release date in the UK. ASUS is remaining tight-lipped about it, though. No official responses to any requests for availability details. I'm thinking about just picking up the Dell XPS 12 at this point.

My take on the UL20A vs. the 1201N is as follows; If you want to pay $80 less, less battery life, less weight, but be able to play 1080P media and games, then get the 1201N. Otherwise, get the UL20A. The battery life on the 1201N isn't that bad, I can get 4.5 hours or so with medium usage, maybe 2-3 if I play 1080P media continuously. It's pretty decent for its capabilities.

Not to cast any aspersions on the accuracy Rick's information, but is there anybody else who can independently verify this? I'm not sure what the advantage of the N110 would be over the NC10 SE if this is true.

According to this: http://www.dz-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000he-blue-netbook-intel-atom-n280166ghz-10-led-wide-svga-1gb-memory-160gb-hdd-win-xp-p-1115.html?zenid=025ecdd977bf8b366d57ef250c7e3ffbThey will be shipping the 16th. According to the Asus rep on the facebook group - Their US distribution company will be receiving them on the 13th, and they should be in retailers hands by the next week - so the 16th through the 20th would be reasonable... Amazon usually gets stuff early so I'm crossing my fingers for next Monday/Tuesday.

Search Chromebook 2 benchmark and see what you come up with. Some of the early indications don't sound real promising. Still, until there are some reviews that really put one through its paces its just speculation, as benchmark tests aren't always the end all be all of performance. I pre-ordered one and will be writing a review. Fingers crossed.
