There will be yet another model dubbed Eee PC 1201T and it will have a completely different chipset. Asus recently introduced the 1201T at a function in China. The notebook has a dual core 1.6GHz AMD Neo MV40processor and ATI Radeon HD3200 GPU. This is the same chipset used in several upcoming thin and light laptops including the MSI Wind X230. While the AMD processor may improve the performance of the notebook, it may also reduce the battery life.
