Grab an SSD Drive (Intel X25M) for the 1201n, backup to an external USB HDD and then restore, best performance upgrade ever :) There are tons of guides about opening the 1201N and replacing the HDD is not hard at all.
@dmoath So when i put a ssd on my 1201n, is there any thing else todo? Or can i just install windows straight away, been thinking about getting one, but wanna wait so until my warranty is up.
@hateus420 Well, i did a full upgrade, SSD, doubled the ram and also changed the WiFi card to make it OSX compatible, it's really close to a real macbook pro at half the price and half the weight :)
im hopefully going to get a 1201n with the money i get for my birthday. i would like a smaller computer and this looks ideal. not too small a screen and pretty respectable performance. it has better graphics than my acer laptop and hopefully wont burn my legs :P
Yeah, I wanted the UL series too, but it's double the price for the cheapest model. The new UL30JT looks really nice, but that isn't going to be under $1000, after my 1201N, I will upgrade to that as well :D.

@KlingonSpider It was a Dell 1510 WLAN card, search for "Asus 1201N Installation and Support" first result is the guide you need (InsanelyMac)

just got my 1201n..
I was playing counter strike source on it, medium settings and it worked great.
I would have rather gotten silver.. but beggers cant be choosers.

Impressive! Even though it's running Windows 7, still boots up faster than the XP netbooks. Stronger GPU/CPU too, badass netbook!

Yes, I was impressed

which has
13inch
3.7lb
i7
1GB Nvidia 310m
4GB DDR3 RAM
8hr battery life
and torbo boot (33% over clock tech)
