| 669339 | 2008-05-14 05:41:00 | I'm considering buying one (to replace my old chunky D**L). What do you think of the 900 compared to the 701? Obviously the screen is better :) BTW Keyboard size is not an issue I'm quite skinny :p Am currently thinking of getting the Linux one and loading XP. |

| 669340 | 2008-05-14 05:49:00 | Def get the one with the bigger screen. 1024 across, as opposed to something smaller. Means no sideways scrolling on web pages. :thumbs: |

| 669341 | 2008-05-14 05:53:00 | From what i've read, it's very good. There have been comments about its battery life though - apparently it is less than 2hrs at best. | somebody (208) | ||
| 669342 | 2008-05-14 06:03:00 | You would have to be into ultra portability to justify such an under performer! | Cicero (40) | ||
| 669343 | 2008-05-14 06:05:00 | No games on the Eee, apart from Solitaire. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 669344 | 2008-05-14 06:09:00 | If I were you, I'd wait till the version with the new Intel Atom processor is launched in June. Also, keep an eye on the "MSI Wind" laptop. |

| 669345 | 2008-05-14 07:05:00 | No games on the Eee, apart from Solitaire. ;) lies! the guys at Uni run Halo, Unreal Tournament (GOTY Edition) etc. Halo lags making it not really that fun to play on there, but seems UT runs fine. It looks much better on the EEE screen (because of the tiny-ness of that screen :P) too. |

| 669347 | 2008-05-14 22:49:00 | Asus have just released the 901, which runs on an atom processor. Lower power consumption, and probably higher clock speeds. Also, a visual overhaul. Might take a while to get to NZ though. |
