ASUS Eee PC 1201N: Dual-Core Atom + ION FTW?

More Mediocre LCDs

This is another area where we weren't able to fully test the 1005PE for the initial article. We now have color gamut and color accuracy results - not that it's likely to matter much. I can't imagine doing any serious photo editing on any laptop with a slow CPU and low resolution.

There's not much to see here. Color gamut and accuracy follow the familiar pattern: okay accuracy, generally mediocre gamut, and as mentioned a clearly inferior (relative to desktops and the 1005HA) contrast ratio. The maximum brightness on the 1201N is also quite low compared to most other current laptops and netbooks. EeeCTL might be able to help if it gets updated, but it didn't work at present.
