I just have a few things to chime in about. First, I've got a beast desktop PC to do all my power computing and gaming. I've got this 1201hab to throw in my bag as a walk out the door. For the purpose of typing, web surfing, and watching movies and such, it's perfect. If anyone complains about performance on demanding tasks, think of it like putting a chimp infront of a calculus equation. Yeah a chimp is pretty smart, but not THAT smart. Such is the same for the 1201HAB. THAT being said, it does play most emulators very well, for old school game systems that is. SNES, SEGA, and MAME, etc. Anything above SNES (ie N64) not a chance. The real reason I bought mine is to do field recording, using a 12-channel USB audio interface running through Cakewalk Sonar, onto an external harddrive. I can record 8-tracks simultaneously without a hiccup. Mixing...well that's another beast. Plugins eat up CPU and RAM. I can do rough mixes on the 1201hab, but I plug in the external harddrive to my main computer and mix to my heart's content on a dual-core and 6 gigs of RAM. So, just to sum this 1201hab up, I love it for what it is. I use it for 80% of my everyday computing. Very lightweight, long battery life. It is quite capable if you're being reasonable with your expectations. I am typing on the 1201HAB right now. I just have a few things to chime in about.

They were up front about it. I found that, even though it might lag up a LITTLE (and I mean very little with the settings I have with Windows XP) I find it great for browsing the internet. I even watch HULU with little lag. I don't know what people are complaining about. The NINE HOUR BATTERY LIFE is FANTASTIC. That's with the core turned down and the screen dimmed, but still. NINE HOURS. About Six hours going full blast. I was told by the sales rep that “this thing has the same processor as a cell phone”. They were up front about it.

The extra speed in bus will make everything faster too including games. If you want an normal setting put the computer in high performance it will be the same before you over clocked it . if you want the most out of your battery life put the computer in powersaver mode the processer will reach max speed od 1.001 ghz and bus of 470.39 hope this helps enjoy If you people want to make the asus 1201 hab go faster do this

I love the flat black color and the keyboard is nice.
The mouse area is just a bunch of bumps instead of a touch area.
overall it is cool and works for me
