Asus EeePC 900 is not very different than its predecessor, at least aesthetically. The comparison is EeePC 701, it is still ivory white and is still the entire hardcover book. However, it is 6 millimeters long and about 100 grams heavier. The speakers have a room either side of the coin is removed from the larger panel - an arrangement that immediately makes the laptop more attractive.
Asus EeePC 900 appears faster in everyday use than the previous model - we count on having twice the memory. The 1GB DDR 400 RAM also helped the system cope better, running multiple applications simultaneously. We were able, for example, to browse the Internet while watching a movie in a window without it dropping frames. It should be noted that this capability is only possible now that the EeePC is larger screen size and resolution.
Asus claims EeePC 900 will take about three hours in its standard battery - half an hour less than its forecasts for the EeePC 701 In my own DivX playback test, it lasted 1 hour and 29 minutes, which was just long enough so that we can enjoy a feature length film or a couple of episodes we Favorite TV-show.
It is ASUS EeePC 900 is available at the end of May, and a Linux version available for AU $ 649, and Windows XP Home Edition AU $ 599.
