Still, I certainly wouldn't turn my nose down to a new 5800mAh battery for just a tenner, which will replace the current 4400mAh. There's also been a bit of disquiet over the actual batteries themselves, with the US market receiving the longer-life 5800mA...

Asus's second gen version of the hit ultra-portable Eee PC comes in the same shell as the original 700 and 701 models. This time though there's an 8.9 inch screen, intelligent trackpad, 1GB of RAM and 12 or 20GB flash drive to complement the 900MHz pro...

Asus makes PCs easy. You might say they're Eeesy PC. Anyway, we digress. The biggest improvement on the Eee 701 is the screen. Gone are the speakers either side of the panel, and in its place is a full 8.9-inch panel with a crispy 1,024x600 resolution...

It's only half a year old but the 900 is already a bit dated by netbook standards. The Intel Atom processor that's now standard is absent - there's the same old 900MHz processor in the 701, and while the 12 or 20GB Flash memory will prevent dr...

The Eee 900 is a great improvement on the original models: the screen is now just about visible, while the same fantastic portability is maintained. The only question is the price: with original Eees now going for under £200, are you prepared to pay...

More storage and a bigger screen address the main issues that arose with the original, but the price has risen too. Asus’ original Eee PC 701 lobbed a hand grenade right at the laptop industry. Sure, it wasn’t perfect: there was no optica...

The new Eee PC 900 replaces the 701 4G model. Although it's bigger – with a 9in screen replacing the 4G's 7in – it's still a tiny notebook and only weighs as much as an average hardback book.It comes in a pearl white, a colour that can make some notebo...

Even if youve never used Linux before, the Linux version of the Eee PC 900 is worth considering. Its more expensive than the Windows XP version, but it does have a larger internal storage capacity, and we feel that its easier to use.

Love it or hate, there is not denying the popularity of the Asus Eee PC, demand for the 701 has far exceeded supply since it was originally launched last year. In fact these are still very hard to get hold of.Ive been using my 701 for about 6 months a...

A vast improvement over the original 701 the new Eee 900 is now my next must-have gadget. Its just a shame that the battery life has been reduced so much by that larger screen. However, larger batteries are said to be available soon.Posted by: Matt[Po...

The first ultracheapable we really want. A big improvement on the original Eee, though the price goes up too. Until the Asus Eee PC 701 arrived last year, ultraportables - generally defined as any small notebook weighing under 2kg - traditionally com...

With its latest release Asus has answered all obvious criticisms of its original Eee PC ultraportable laptop. This, the big screen Asus Eee PC 900, packs nearly 9in rather than 7in of display, and has much more native storage. Theres been plenty...

Maybe less of an impulse buy as the original Asus Eee PC 701 model when its price was closer to £200, the Asus Eee PC 900 is nevertheless a very attractive proposition for anyone looking for ultra-compact computing. Well-built, stylish and relatively...

The 701 was first shown in June 2007 and was launched the following October. It quickly won plaudits for its compact, highly portable size and its low cost. We loved it, but like most Eee users we found the screen to be just too small. The sub-noteboo...

The Eee PC 900 is all about ease of use and portability, so its churlish to grumble about specifications. The little laptop ticks all the right boxes when it comes to features and performance. Its probably not going to replace your 15in workhouse no...

The ASUS Eee PC 701 almost single-handedly defined the mini-notebook genre of small, inexpensive and relatively slow notebooks that have become one of the hottest properties in the computing world. Naturally there have been attempts to emulate the Ee...

The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.
