Asus EEE Transformer - The Best Laptop for ASUS

The Asus Eee PC 1215B is the younger brother of Asus 1215T. The new netbook makes use of the newly released AMD Fusion platform and is powered by the new dual core AMD E350 processor that runs at 1.66GHz clock speed and features ATi Radeon HD 6310 graphics card that promises full HD video playback.This Eee PC comes with either 2GB DDR3 RAM or 4GB DDR3 RAM, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a 6-cell battery. The 1215B has same chassis as other 12.1-inch Asus netbooks. However, unlike 1201T, it has matte surface which does not catch smudges easily. The palm rest and trackpad has matte plastic as well. It does not feel heavy in hands as it still weighs under 2 kilograms with battery. On the left of the unit, you will find the power port, VGA port, HDMI and a USB port. There is also a card reader that accepts both SD as-well-as MMC cards. On the right, there are two more USB ports, Ethernet port, Kensington lock, earphone and headphone jack.It comes with a 12.1-inch display that packs 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. This is the same resolution which was there in the 1201n model launched 2 years ago. The colors looks great and since it has a glossy finish, the screen is more suited for indoor use. Viewing angles are decent and you will have no problems in watching a movie with your friend sitting next to you. Typing on the 1215B was a pleasant experience. It has a chiclet-style keyboard with 95 percent full size keys that ensures that you are able to type comfortably. The only thing not to like about it is the small right shift key which can take some time to get used to. Touchpad is big and spacious compared to the other 12.1-inch netbooks. All the multi-touch gestures offered by the netbook worked like a charm. I loved using two-finger gesture to scroll webpages and PDF files.For expansion, you get two memory slots. To replace RAM, you will have to unscrew two screws located at the back. Make sure you have installed Windows 7 64-bit edition to recognize all that extra RAM. Performance-wise, it is the most powerful netbook I have ever tested. It scored nearly 2000 points in the 3DMarks test and 0.62 points in the Cinebench benchmark test, both of which are extraordinary for a notebook this small. Asus surely has a clear winner in their hands.
