ASUS EEE PC 1201HA NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH BEST BY

The Asus Eee PC 1201HA is now available for purchase in the US. The machine debuted in Italy a little over a month ago.

In the US, Best Buy is the first to sell the device through their retail outlets. But the Best Buy version is crippled in many aspects. The European version of 1201HA has better specs than the 1101A. It sports 2GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard disk drive and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. The system offered by Best By only has 1 GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive. And instead of Windows 7, it runs Windows XP Home Edition.

The Best Buy version has its plusses too. It is available for just $329.99. The Asus Eee PC 1201HA is available in 11.6 and 12 inch screen sizes.
