Asus Eee PC 1215T Seashell

With plans in moving to Singapore by the 3rd quarter of this year, thoughts of getting a lappie came across my mind. I have already made Hunny aware of this idea though I am still not 100% sure if I am going to puch through with it. I don't want it to add up to our money concerns. We are seriously trying to save up for the wedding.

Anyway, when we went to SM yesterday morning, we checked mini-notebooks and notebook pricess and compare so as to have an idea. Here is one good lappie we have seen: 

Asus Eee PC 1215T Seashell

12.1” AMD® based Netbook with an Impressive Multimedia Performance

ASUS continues its lineup of innovative Eee PC™s with the introduction of the Eee PC 1215T. Based on AMD®'s Ultrathin Platform with an Athlon™ K125 processor and ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250 graphics, the netbook boasts superior processing and graphics capabilities. Full HD 1080p video playback can be viewed on an external display via the HDMI port. An ASUS Super Hybrid Engine maximizes energy efficiency to deliver up to 6 hours of battery life* on a single charge, benefiting mobile professionals and students alike. Users can breeze through the work day with the netbook’s ergonomic Chiclet keyboard and roomy touchpad.

 

Superior Processing and Graphics
An AMD® Athlon™ K125 processor, specifically designed for thin and light computing needs, as well as an  ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250 class graphics processor deliver powerful processing and multimedia capabilities. The AMD Ultrathin platform improves 3D graphics, enhances battery life, delivers an up to 22% Instructions Per Clock Cycle improvement, and lowers power usage levels. This platform also supports DDR3 system memory. Using ATI AVIVO™ HD technology with its embedded hardware video decoder, the 1215T enables smooth playback of high definition videos in full HD 1080p. Through the netbook’s built-in HDMI port, professionals can easily output HD video to a display to help expand their visual workspace.

Unplugged Computing Freedom
Thanks to the onboard ASUS Super Hybrid Engine, professionals and students can power through the day with ease. The ASUS Super Hybrid Engine tailors power consumption to usage scenarios, enabling up to 6 hours of battery life* on a single charge, while reducing power usage by up to 15%. The netbook’s long battery life affords professionals and students the convenience of not having to worry about finding the nearest power outlet.

Ergonomic Design
The netbook offers a package of ergonomic features so that users can work in comfort. A 12.1” LED-backlit 1366 x 768 widescreen with a 16:9 aspect ratio enables users to view bright, brilliant images. The netbook’s Chiclet keyboard reduces the strain and fatigue experienced when working for long hours. The expansive multi-touch trackpad allows intuitive navigation by simply moving one’s fingertips. Additionally, ASUS Palm-Proof technology distinguishes between palm and finger contact surfaces so that users can type with increased precision.

ASUS WebStorage
In addition to the 320GB HDD storage, the netbook also comes with a 60 day trial of unlimited ASUS WebStorage.**  ASUS WebStorage syncs, shares, and stores files to a secured Internet database. WebStorage syncs files among mobile devices and PCs so that professionals and students can conveniently access files anywhere and anytime. Files are also automatically backed up to the secured Internet database, ensuring irreplaceable files are safeguarded.

F9 Recover Key
By simply pressing the “F9” key during boot up, users can both easily back up the factory default system files to an external USB storage device and restore the system back to its original factory settings. This is especially convenient in the case that the Eee PC is infected with a virus.

Segment Focus
Education: Weighing only 3.21 lbs. with battery, the thin and light 1215T slides into students’ backpacks and can easily be transported around campus or the classroom. The ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250 enables smooth, crisp playback of high definition videos in 1080p on high definition external screens via the netbook’s HDMI port. With the HDMI port, students can expand their workspace and teachers can output learning tools to displays to share with the classroom. The netbook’s up to 6 hours of battery life* eliminates the inconvenience of searching for outlets in crowded lecture halls. Students can also stay productive on-the-go with the netbook’s high speed wireless 802.11b/g/n and ASUS WebStorage** syncing function which permits access to files anywhere and anytime.
 
Business:  From its portability to its exceptional features, the 1215T is designed to meet the mobile business professional’s needs.  The netbook’s size, long battery life, and its high speed wireless 802.11b/g/n make the 1215T extremely travel-friendly, keeping professionals productive and connected while on the go. An ergonomic Chiclet keyboard with a roomy touchpad diminishes user fatigue after working long hours. Distances are bridged with the 0.3 Megapixel built-in webcamera with a lens cover, which supports video conferencing and simultaneously protects the user's privacy. Equipped with ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250, users can experience smooth, responsive, graphics, ideal for professionals, such as attorneys, who need to watch instructional videos and view slideshows of accident scenes.
