ASUS EeePC 900
****
What is it: The next ASUS “netbook” model
from the much-loved EeePC line.
Who’s it for: People looking for an ultralight
and ultraporatble notebook powerful enough to do basic computing and
Internet connectivity.
Wallet magnet: Larger 8.9-inch LCD screen with
higher resolution (1024x600); Intel CPU (Celeron M 900MHz), Intel
chipset and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900; 1GB DDR 400 RAM;
12GB SSD (4GB built-in + 8GB flash for Microsoft Windows OS
Version); 20GB SSD(4GB built-in +16GB flash for the Linux OS
Version); built-in 1.3MP webcam; available in Pearl white or Galaxy
black ; shockproof hard plastic construction.
On second thought: Performance and battery life
practically the same as the earlier EeePC 701 model; almost P10k
more for the 9-inch LCD screen.
What’s in the box: ASUS EeePC 900; power
adapter; user’s manual; slip pouch.
Tech Times’ verdict: We don’t know if the
larger 8.9" screen justifies the additional P10,000.
Nonetheless, the ASUS EeePC is still the best “netbook”
available in the market today—that is, if you can’t wait for the
Intel Atom version, coming in a month or two.
