Coupled with the ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine, you'll also enjoy up to 5 hours of battery life with this Windows-powered laptop. 
The Asus Eee PC 900's 8.9-inch screen is easier on the eyes, and the integrated webcam makes video chats a snap. |  | Much more compact than a standard-sized notebook and weighing just 2.5 pounds, the Eee PC 900HA is perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. In addition to the 160 GB hard disk drive (HDD), the Eee PC 900HA also features 1 GB of RAM, VGA-resolution webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, SD memory card slot, a VGA output for connecting to a monitor, and up to 10 GB of online storage (complimentary for 18 months).

The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management.

 So far I love it!!! January 4, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just got mine today. I wasn't expecting such great quality. This thing is built extremely well. It's rock solid. Nothing cheap feeling about it. I installed the 2GB of memory without any hastle. For the price I am really shocked at what you get. Way to go Asus. The keys are half sized of standard sized keys. But what do you expect? Do you want a mini sized laptop or do you not? Yeah a 10' screen version will have standard sized keys but it will also be a larger laptop. I wanted something as small as I could get. And this is it! 5 stars from me.
So far so great! December 31, 2008

This is a first review, based on using the computer for 24 hours, so it will be brief and right to the point.
Tis a brilliant product, beautifully designed, loaded with plenty of ports (USB, audio-video, VGA)and extremely useful controls for power and other features. Sharp and clear screen. It even comes with a very nice little carrying case that is light and might even pass TSA muster. It runs cool and fast, and with its original 1 gig of ram I had no problem running several programs at the same time. But even better, with the 2 gig module I added it simply flies -- remove four screws, just pop the 1 gig out and pop the new one in. I did do the F2-F10 routine with the Bios to get My Computer to recognize the added memory (I'm running XP), but for all I know it would have been recognized without doing that. Oh, and so far its wireless works perfectly with my very quirky and irritating Verizon FIOS router.
I'm off on a long trip tomorrow and will get a better feel for how it actually handles business apps. The keyboard is a tad tight and, like others, I've had to pay some close attention to hitting the space bar which would benefit from being elevated a fraction of an inch.
I travel an enormous amount, and often have to bring along cameras and other devices which weigh down my backpack. Having such a small and elegant machine with a huge hard drive and good power takes about 4 pounds off my load and gives me a computer I can use on an airplane tray in coach.
As they say, stay tuned....
 Requires some tech knowledge December 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A couple of technical concerns that may affect some users because there is no dialup modem or CD drive in most netbooks. We live in an extremely remote area that does not have high speed internet or cell phone service. We bought this ultra-portable because we go to town a lot when we need high speed functions. If this is a problem for you, remember that most netbooks do not have a dialup modem, and you have to buy the modem separately to plug into a USB port.
Also, without buying a separate CD drive you have to have the tech knowledge to network your other computer to the netbook in order to add office, drivers, or other software. Once everything is all set up, it may be fine, but it isn't simple.
We've been using the asus netbook since Christmas, and other than these limitations, it seems to be working. The mouse click is very stiff.
We haven't tested out how long the 4 cell battery really works yet.
Small, Light and Works Great December 30, 2008

This netbook is great. I just retired my big bulky 15" laptop with about the same equipment; at 1/3 of the weight and 4 times the battery life. I'm waiting on a new USB surfstick for my netbook to have Internet access as well. Great product for full time students who need to lug a laptop every day!
wonderful product December 29, 2008
