ASUS Eee PC Flare netbooks at CES 2012 (update: hands-on impressions)

Right, we saw it coming – ASUS to debut netbook Flare at CES 2012. It's now official with the company's new Eee PC Flare 1025C, X101CH and 1025CE netbooks, and without ado let's get down to basics. The 1025C sports built-in Intel UMA graphics (720p output), a 10.1-inch LED display (1,024 x 600), N2600 dual-core GPU at 1.6GHz, 1GB of DDR3-1333 memory, integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers, a hard drive of 5,400RPM, 0.3 megapixel webcam, a set of USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2-in-1 media card reader and HDMI /VGA outputs. The entire machine tips the scales at 1.2kg, while housing a six-cell (56WHr) battery which is allegedly to take you some 10 hrs of usage.  It ships with Windows 7 Starter, and a $299 will get you one in black, blue, pink or red in February.

Another great piece is the 1225B, a 12.1-incher that gets powered by AMD E-450 dual-core chip at 1.6GHz, graphics included, native resolution at (1,366 x 768), 2GB of DDR3-1333 memory, a 5,400RPM HDD,  a set USB 3.0 sockets (and a separate USB 2.0 socket), a 0.3 megapixel webcam, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 plus a 2-in-1 media reader. It should press your lap at 3.1 pounds including a six-cell battery, and a (32-bit) Windows 7 Home Premium OS onboard. For color fanatics – well, you'll be smacked in black, red or white. Ultimately, the Eee PC X101CH's entry-level should steal $269 affording you a 10.1-inch panel (1,024 x 600) resolution, integrated graphics, 1GB of RAM plus the standard complement of ports.
