In a market full of tablets and ultrabooks, what is the future of netbooks? Asus is taking a chance and it’s testing the market with a new model: Asus Eee PC 1225B. Will it stand the competition?

Let’s see if it can with its main weapons being a first choice of processors: AMD C60 dual core processor running at 1 GHz or a E450 dual core APU running at 1.65 GHz. The maximum of RAM that you can get is 4GB, DDR3 and since we are talking about extremes the minimum storage is 320GB. Now that doesn’t look shabby at all for a netbook, does it? The price is not so bad either: $455 for the 11.6-inch netbook which also comes with a set of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, VGA and HDMI outputs and a display capable of a 1366 x 768 resolution. With all these ingredients in mind, Asus Eee PC 1225B seems to be a pretty good competitor for an ultrabook.
