Eee PC 900 Review
Eee PC 900 Review
Asustek officially announced the Asus Eee PC 900, the second generation of company�s low-cost ultraportable laptop. The Eee PC 900 is a larger screen, larger amounts of RAM, and more data storage space version of the 701.
The Eee PC 900 isnt too different to its predecessor, at least aesthetically. In comparison to the Eee PC 701, its still ivory white and is still the size of a hardback book. It is, however, 6mm longer than its predecessor and around 100g heavier. The speakers now moved to the bottom of the laptop below the wrist rest.
The system uses the same Intel Celeron 900MHz CPU as the old 701, but comes with 1GB of DDR2 system memory, and up to 20GB of solid state drive storage.
The Eee PC 900 does not include an optical drive. However, there are an SD / MMC (SDHC) memory card reader, built-in 1.3-megapixel web camera, built-in speakers, 802.11b/g wireless and Etnernet LAN connections, three USB ports, and a VGA output. About 3.5 hours of battery life is expected from the computers 4-cell battery, said Asus.
The new Eee PCs also have a multi-touch feature called FingerGlide. �For example, with just two simple finger movements on the touchpad, users will be able to zoom in and out of pictures (great for looking at image details), or scroll up and down for easier document viewing,� Asustek�s press release says.
These budget ultraportables laptop come with Microsoft Windows or Linux preinstalled. Windows is available on models with 12GB of storage, while Linux is preloaded onto Eee PC 900s with 20GB of data capacity.
