    Amazon.com Product Description
    The newest generation of its popular Eee PC line, the Asus Eee PC 900 provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a compact body with a larger 8.9-inch screen. Even with the larger size of the Eee PC 900 when compared to the original Eee PC, the new model still weighs under 2 pounds--perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 20 GB of storage), the Eee PC 900 is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags.



    The Asus Eee PC 900's 8.9-inch screen is easier on the eyes, and the integrated webcam makes video chats a snap.
    Other features include a 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, a Secure Digital memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, and a VGA output for connecting to a monitor. It comes preinstalled with the Linux operating system, and it's also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

    For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution.



    No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface..
    It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

    Nicely light at just 35 ounces, the Eee PC 900 has an 8.9-inch wide TFT LCD with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (WXGA)--making it more comfortable on eyes than its predecessor. Under the hood is a 900 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM (not expandable), and 20 GB of flash memory solid-state drive (SSD). The SSD provides quiet performance and helps save energy, while its shock-proof solid state design helps to guard against data loss or shock-related damage if the laptop is dropped.

    In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), e-mail, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track.

    You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The rechargeable battery provides up to 3.5 hours of battery life (depending on usage). It's backed by a 1 year warranty for parts and labor.

    Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RM1TN6CXDYUDY I'm Christian and I'm reviewing the eeePC 900 (which I love!) for an online talk show, GoodDayJoplin.net

    Hopefully the review is helpful to you! This laptop is an amazing little laptop that can do anything a regular computer can. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.



    5 out of 5 stars Very satisfied   August 4, 2008
    Daniela C. Matielo (Barcelona, Spain)
    The Eee Pc is an amazing machine. I did not have problems with the keyboard, as this is one of the problems that people talk more about: since I am a woman, I guess my fingers are smaller and they work well with the small keyboard. The OS is amazing. I only had difficulties to make it work with other languages (ie. Portuguese and Spanish) but after some Google search it is working perfectly well. I wish the battery was longer, though, and that it had 3G, so if you have time, maybe it is a good idea to wait for the next generation.


    5 out of 5 stars Asus EEE PC 900 Linux   July 31, 2008
    Curtiss D. Cooke (Chicago,IL USA)
    The computer is easy to use and easy to carry with you.
    It is a great Nettop. It responds well with the original configuration.
    I increased the ram from 1GB to 2GB and changed the version of Linux I use. The original operating system Xandros is easy to use and reponsive. But, with the amount of free software or OS's out there, I decided to try something different. Ubuntu Linux works well.I'm very happy with my purchase. The only downside is the fact that the priced dropped 2 weeks after i bought it.



    4 out of 5 stars ASUS Eee PC 900, 20GB   July 28, 2008
    A. M. Nakashima (Las Vegas, NV)
    I got the Eee to take to take on a trip to South America so I could download photos from my Nikon D200. I take raw+JPEG pictures that take about 22mb per photo. I also took a WD 320GB ext HD. System worked great. I downloaded 2-4 hundred photos per day to the HD. I was also able to view and show slide shows of the photos with the built in software on the Eee. An added bonus was the built-in word processing software allowed me to write notes about the photos takes that day.

    Even better, the built in wi-fi allowed me to get email in the Lobby of several of the hotels

    The only complaint I had was the download speeds were slower than I had been used to.



    5 out of 5 stars Even better than expected   July 28, 2008
    M. Olaisen (Oslo, Norway)
    Boots in no time. No crashes. Quite quiet. Tolerable battery life time. Weighs next to nothing.
