Asus Eee PC 1015B and 1215B arrives at sales channels in the US

Asus’ Fusion-powered netbooks (wait a minute there, are netbooks even relevant in this day and age?), the Asus Eee PC 1015B and 1215B, where they will come with 10-inch and 12-inch displays which retail from $289 and $379, respectively. At that price point, you will find netbooks equipped with a 250GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, VGA, USB and HDMI ports, and 1080p output capability. Sure thing with the full HD output support, but can the processor take the grunt? We expect the video file to slow down halfway, unless you have every other program closed in the mean time and the Fusion-powered chipset throws every single bit of performance it has at the task at hand.
