It's the Eee 1201T-MU10-BK.  It uses the AMD Neo at 1.6 GHz, has 2 GB or
memory, and a 250 GB hard drive.  The display is a 12.1" WXGA.  The GPU
is an ATI Radeon HD 3200.

Arch Linux recognized the network chip, but not the wireless chip.  I
had to download the wireless driver separately from Arch Linux.  I know
that Ubuntu didn't recognize it earlier, but maybe the latest version
does.

Arch seems to recognize the webcam but there are problems with it.
Since I am not using it, I'm not concerned about it.


The only place I know of that sells it is Newegg.
