Review of Asus Eee PC 900 Laptop computer. As some of my Ciao acquaintances are aware I am currently travelling in the UK with my partner. We are both writers, a long term hobby, which has now become our income as freelancers. A laptop computer has been our trusty companion for some time, however as there are occasions when we both need to be using the machine, we decided to purchase a second laptop to make life a little easier. There is nothing ...
...The laptop we purchased the ASUS Eee PC 900 had the 'What Laptop' magazine gold award, having rated 8 out of a possible 10 in the May 2008 issue test reports section. It was purchased from PC World in Newcastle upon Tyne for £199.99. **The laptop** The Asus Eee PC 900 is classed as a entry level ultra mobile laptop and around the same size of a hard back novel, it most certainly is ultra mobile! It weighs a minuscule 940g and the overall dimensions ... Read review

These things are like gold dust ...
...a few in stock. It cost £219. Start up times is about 15-20 seconds...frankly quite amazing. It comes with the Xandros distribution of Linux pre-installed with what they refer to as the Easy Mode interface. Although it did what it says on the tin, I found the interface to be very "child friendly". So a quick hunt around the net, gave me steps to enable the Advanced Desktop Mode.....now it is much more XP like. Speed of the machine is good......currently ... Read review

Advantages: quicker, and really portable
Disadvantages: linux operating system

...review is of the new asus EEE pc. Its been quite fun using and reviewing this one as its not like your usual laptops, and in many ways its a lot worse however at the end of testing it iv got to say I really like the asus EEE pc and however rubbish it might be I think I will end up buying one if some of the features just improve a little or if the higher spec editions become cheaper. I'm reviewing the new better version of the EEE pc this time as ...
...on one of these. The asus eee pc is really small and versatile, its just 225 by 35 by 165mm which really isn't big at all. Unlike many other pc tablets of this size this one does look exactly like a laptop which is something I really like about it. It can come in a whole range of different colours however the only one I have used is the white one and is probably the one id get if I was going to buy one. A downside from some peoples point of view ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful laptop, good value, easily upgradeable, reliable hardware.
Disadvantages: Some extras are unneccessary, built-in speakers are useless, Hard drive can be annoyingly noisy.

...of a children's fantasy adventure? ASUS have also taken the liberty of installing bright green flashing lights on either side of the laptop - so that you know when the graphics card is in use (as if you wouldn't know anyway) let me assure you that the novelty very soon wears off when you are trying to watch a movie in darkness (for that cinema feel) and have to put up with continual green flashes emanating from the sides of your screen. All in all ...
...with all the extra features and luxuries it is certainly worth the money. However, this is probably not the best option for a serious gamer (even though it is a gaming laptop) as all those extra features do bump up the price unnecessarily and other brands such as my personal God of computing - Alienware - do spend more of your money on the things which do matter (such as graphics and sound cards) rather than webcams and memory card readers. ...

Advantages: Great value, State of the art Processor, Built-in Webcam
Disadvantages: Heats up fast, weighs 4Kg

...recently bought one of these Asus laptops of the A7C Series and for a manufacturer who I had never heard of before I was pleasantly surprised. With 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD and Intel Core 2 Duo Processor the laptop runs very quickly and you are very unlikely to ever run out of space! The 17" display is ideal for watching DVDs or just for those who like to have a lot on their screens and is very clear and bright compared to others I looked at. The only ...
...is increased weight, - this laptop weighs in at 4Kg, which isn't bad as some 17" Laptops are upto about 4.5Kg. The laptop comes equipped with a built-in 1.3MP webcam located above the screen which provides a clear image for 1.3MP and is very useful for IM!!! Considering that Windows Vista has only been out a few months, the laptop is very well prepared, everything seems to be in working order and the fact that it is Premium edition is even better. ...
