Source: Comp Reviews
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.
