3.0 out of 5 stars Good machine spoiled by dreadful battery life, 29 May 2008
By Bruce N (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS EeePC 900 (White) - Netbook (Electronics)
Generally very good machine, with simple interface which makes it very easy to use for those transferring from Windows. Comes with Firefox, OpenOffice, and Skype, and with WiFi and Webcam meets basic needs. Keyboard takes a bit of getting used to at first, but after a couple of days you will adjust to small size. Very transportable, and very light. But main gripe is battery life. Provided battery has 4400mAh capacity, and lasts barely 75 mins on full charge. In other markets it comes with 5800mAh battery, more than a third bigger. Either you will need a spare (expensive) or you will need regular access to the mains.

5.0 out of 5 stars now shipped with better battery, 16 July 2008
This review is from: ASUS EeePC 900 (White) - Netbook (Electronics)
I suspect the reviewer earlier had the older model when the next one up was released ASUS stopped shipping these and then suddenly they appeared with the better battery. The wi fi range is good, i can work in the garden on it and it's perfect for journalists on the fly - small enough to fit in as small bag or big coat pocket. keyboard is easily usable even with my fat fingers, and from pressing start up to typing is just over a minute which is terrific, I'm using the linux version now to write this review - battery lasts about 5-6 hours.

You can easily change the linux OS to a full blown version - either way it's great much, much better than the windows version - bigger hard drive - alright the eee has no cd drive but you can use memory sticks and there are loads of usb ports.

I bought it to use alongside my laptop - but the laptop doesn't get a look in now - much easier to sofa surf on this too. I thought the white would look tacky but it has grown on me. I use it all the time - on the train, in the car, in the field, the buid is better than I thought - would be great for a kid at school too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little all rounder, 30 July 2008
This review is from: ASUS EeePC 900 (White) - Netbook (Electronics)
After spending months fighting for PC time with my husband we decided it was time to buy me a laptop. I wanted to surf the net, watch movies, store photo's, music and all the other little bits and bobs. We didn't want to spend a fortune so decided on the Asus eee 900. It has proven to be a fantastic little machine. All the stories of poor battery life have turned out to be wasted worry since a few steps like turning down the brightness and switching off some unused functions can improve battery life drastically.

The fact that there is no CD drive attached is of no consequence since they are rellatively inexpensive to buy, and there are enough USB ports to hold a few external peripherals at once.

As a windows user I have found the Linux OS a little bit confusing, however that is becoming more apparent the more I use it, and I prefer to have the extra disk space. There are some nifty little applications on here that I wouldn't be without too.

The built in wireless picks up and maintains signal with apparent ease, and I can take it anywhere in the house, even the basement without interfering with the wireless.

All in all this handy, portable little machine has made me wonder how I would ever cope with having to lug a regular sized laptop about.
