The death of the netbook was greatly exaggerated — in any case that is what ASUS is praying holds true for next year. Its latest addition, the Eee PC 1225B, refreshes the spec sheet seen at the 1215B . Yow will discover it’s still in keeping with AMD’s Brazos chipset — thus the B — and should apparently arrive on two different gear speeds; one with an AMD C60 dual-core 1GHz processor and another toting AMD’s dual-core 1.65GHz E450 APU. As much as 4GBs of DDR3 RAM and storage options starting at 320GB should ensure a decent bang to your buck. On top of that, there’s an 11.6-inch 1,366 x 768 display, integrated webcam, a smattering of USB ports (both 2.0 and three.0) and the identical VGA and HDMI outputs found on its predecessor. Notebook Italia reckons that these new netbooks will start at €349 ($455). If you are not ready just yet for the heady specs (and costs) of an Ultrabook , you’ll be able to visit ASUS ‘ official site on the source for the total spec breakdown.
