Reviews for the Asus Eee PC 1215T-MU17-SL
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
For those that want a higher performance netbook that can achieve high definition media playback, the ASUS Eee PC 1215T offers an excellent package for prices under $400. The AMD Athlon II Neo processor, Radeon HD graphics, 12-inch display and HDMI output all make for a great media capable netbook. The downside is that all of this extra performance does take a toll on the battery life of the system as well as the size.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.
The same applies to tablets in this size range.
