The love of the original Eee PC is no secret. Back from last year Computex in Taipei, we were all contact with geeky enthusiasm for the ultra-portable laptops we’re looking for all our lives.
For a shade over 200, it was everything we wanted from a machine, we can literally take anywhere with us.
An Eee too far? Luckily for Asus, it was not only us, the founding of the first iteration immediately desirable – if you try to search for a new 701 4G is still rare as hen or the teeth of the dog eggs. Now comes the inevitable update the 900, the screening 8.9inch version, which we for the first time on our hands at this year’s CeBIT. Is it so exciting, but now smaller than its predecessor, or is it a Eee too far?
Much better screen
The increase in the resolution is what makes this version of the Eee most special. At 1024 x 600, there are no more fiddly scrolling around web pages or debited your eyes to see what you enter. To be fair to the original 7inch panel still impressive for its size, but we always wanted more.

The Multi-Touch, MacBook Air-style touchpad is a neat addition, you can scroll simply by using two fingers on the pad and sliding up and down. It is a tidier solution than the sometimes unpleasant side scrolling method of 701 You can also use this feature to zoom in and out, easy to handle, but a little short.
Overrides the underclocked processor
Asus also has an updated BIOS allows you to view the Celeron CPU speeds no bearing on the underclocked to 600MHz as standard on the 701 The slightly larger enclosure (about 1cm deep shadows and higher) helps to provide a sufficient cooling, make the system more stable at higher speeds. This is more of a difference should be demanding Microsoft installed on your computer.
We are not without our reservations but with a larger screen and higher power so that a larger block of power, so it must have the 12v the 9.5v of 701 Allegedly offers faster recharge the battery, but the original, with each lead over an extended cable and was just more about the practical move. The higher power inevitably has an impact on battery life – away is the 4-hour period, by about 2.5 hours. Less ideal for the transition.

More memory
The 1 GB of RAM, the pre-installed on the 900 is also slower than the ones embedded in the 701 Only with 267MHz, but is still possible evidence for a beveled corner. It is possible that this was necessary, at the price, but if you get a stick of DDR2 667 for 15, seems unlikely.
