Diagrams of Eee PC 1201X and 1201K appear

Although little is known about the ASUS Eee PC 1201X and 1201K, their diagrams were recently uncovered by the folks at Netbooked while checking out the 1201 series manual. There’s actually not a whole lot to report on here except:   The 1201X features the same chassis design as the 1201T which could indicate it features an AMD processor on the inside. The 1201K seems to lack underside access panels but otherwise features a similar side profile to other 1201 series netbooks. It is ho...

Samsung demo Transparent Notebook Screen

Thanks to Brad at liliputing for blogging about this one.But I have to agree, it doesn't seem all that useful to have on a portable PC - but it is totally cool. It won't help my attempts to hide my netbook screen when commuting on the train though!
