ASUS Eee PC 1201PN provides 12 inch HD display

ASUS has announced a ton of new netbooks at CeBIT so many in fact I'm still trying to play catchup. The 1201PN is a successor to the popular ASUS Eee PC 1201N, which currently priced at $484 suffers from one flaw the 1201PN promises to improve on - battery life. The 1201PN features the new more energy efficient Atom N450, as well as, the Nvidia ION 2 chipset. The new ION 2 chipset will offer improved graphics and battery life.

Product Specs:

Display: 12 inch 1366 x 768
Processor: Intel Atom N450 processor 1.66 GHz
Graphics: Nvidia ION 2 (will still be called simply "ION") and HDMI Out
RAM: 1GB
Hard Drive: 160GB HDD + 500GB online storage
Wireless: 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Battery: 6-cell (battery life not announced)

No pricing information has been revealed yet, but I'd expect we'll see it around the same price as the 1201n and hopefully even less expensive. I'll be sure to let you know more once this becomes available.
