Excellent
The good: Multitouch mouse trackpad; 8.9-inch display; decent storage. 8.7
out of 10View score
The bad: Tiny keyboard; no integrated optical drive.
The bottom line: The ASUS Eee PC 900 is a likeable update to the Eee PC 701. We're disappointed its keyboard is still so difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, high-resolution screen, multitouch mouse trackpad and better storage gives it the edge over just about all of its rivals.

Asus strikes again
Nov 21, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: bigger screen,SSD,ultraportable,lightweight,solid built
Cons: available in white & black only
Opinion:
Netbooks are not meant to replace your PC but as secondary PC which you can carry around just about anywhere. With this in mind the Asus Eee PC 900 does it job well. Been using it for 3 months now and I'm happy with its performance. I installed Windows XP and its running smoothly.

And for just under $400 I say its a pretty good buy!
Best UMPC for the price

Pros: Bigger screen and performance than the 701
Cons: Hard drive could be larger, quality of material looks cheap
Opinion:
For the price, this is a better choice than the HP mini note 2133 since the Celeron M is more responsive than the VIA. After uninstalling a few programs i.e. works etc. it is perfect for checking email or web surfing on the go. I connect to the internet through my N95 with US 3G via bluetooth (bluetooth dongle connected to my 900) and I get broadband speed anywhere with no cable. It's quick enough to handle MS Office 2003 especially for powerpoint presentations, just plug in a USB flash drive and thanks for having 3 USB ports you have plenty of connectivity options. The battery usually last me 2.5 hours and that is plenty for me. With the built in webcam and mic, it's easy move around the house while using YM or AOL on making calls overseas. Speakers are ok but not as loud as my 701. All in all it's a great UMPC and it does what ... Read more
