ASUS 1215N Seashell Overview

The Eee PC 1215N-PU17 Seashell 12.1" Netbook Computer from ASUS is a netbook computer with a relatively large 12.1" display. The display features LED backlight technology, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and 720p native resolution. The sleek, stylish, and compact system features ASUS's stunning Seashell design, and weighs in at a scant 3.2 pounds.

It features standard 802.11n Wi-Fi, allowing you to hop on to wireless networks and hotspots with ease. The system boasts a spacious 250GB hard drive, and you'll also have access to an additional 500GB of ASUS online storage.

The computer is powered by a dual-core 1.8GHz Intel Atom D525 CPU, which provides solid performance while using very little battery power. The computer's six-cell battery can provide up to six hours of runtime per charge, allowing you to work without worry when away from a wall socket. An integrated 0.3MP webcam is perfect for online video chat.

Graphics are provided by a discrete nVIDIA ION 2 GPU. In addition to the standard VGA output, the computer features an HDMI port, allowing you to connect it to an HDTV. An SD slot and three USB 2.0 ports are present for external device connectivity. A wired Ethernet port is available for those times when Wi-Fi is not. Audio is provided by stereo speakers, and the system also features an integrated microphone. Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) is the installed operating system.

The Eee PC is an excellent choice for anyone else who requires a compact, yet usable, system. It will allow you to check e-mail, perform basic office tasks, watch videos, and play games. Most importantly, it won't weigh you down.

Unprecedented Performance Meets Energy-Efficiency
The Eee PC 1215N defies the notion of netbooks being designed just to cater to basic computing needs. The 1215N packs the Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor, as well as the next generation nVIDIA ION 2 discrete graphics processor with nVIDIA Optimus technology to deliver a netbook with hard-hitting multimedia performance capabilities.

nVIDIA Optimus technology intelligently switches between integrated and discrete graphics to provide the optimum graphics solution required, thereby extending battery life in the process
Delivering Multimedia Enjoyment in Droves
The next generation nVIDIA ION 2 discrete graphics processor found in the Eee PC 1215N enables it to deliver a visual experience never before seen on netbooks. The 1215N is capable of smooth, crystal-clear playback of high definition videos in 1080p on its 12.1" 1366 x 768 HD widescreen display with the 16:9 display ratio.

Hardware decoders embedded within the 1215N perfectly decode H.264, VC1 and MPEG2 file formats while the HDMI-output port enables Full HD 1080p playback on large screen displays.

The 1215N also features a camera cover over the webcam's lens to give you added privacy
Ergonomic Chiclet Keyboard for Unsurpassed Comfort
The Eee PC Seashell's chiclet keyboard is more comfortable and less fatiguing to type on for prolonged periods of time
USB Charging
Also, the 1215N is capable of charging mobile phones via USB even when the Eee PC is switched off. The mobile phone can also draw power from the Eee PC's battery
Webcam & Wi-Fi
The 1215N's built-in 0.3MP webcam lets you videoconference with business associates a world away, while 802.11n Wi-Fi ensures that you're well-connected even when you step out of the office
