Advantages: Ultra portable

Disadvantages: less features

Asus Eee PC 900
*************
Asus Eee PC series notebooks are generally for mobile purpose. These are something like palmtop but the screen size and configurations are generally higher than palmtops. Eee PCs are extremely portable and have a very light weight with good design and look. I am taking Eee PC 900 here for discussion about its some good features and its advantages, and disadvantages also.
*****
Design and Display
The main feature of this notebook is its design and display. Notebook is completely dedicated to portability and it has beautiful small display with 8.9" TFT, 1024 x 600 ( WSVGA ) display screen. And the quality of display is its Wide screen support. So have this and enjoy your life.
*****
Processing speed
Eee PC are mobile notebooks for internet use while travelling so that its processing speed is reasonable at that level but not so good with compare to general purpose notebooks. Processor is used in this model as Mobile Intel® Celeron® Processors 353 with adequate clock speed of 900 MHz. front size data bus speed is also not so good but it is reasonable as 400 MHz L2 cache size is also old dated with 512 KB and cache speed is 900 MHz. over all it is not so good but even not so bad. Now if we have a look on other ultra portable notebooks than we can remember that they are using Intel Atom processor which is completely meant for ultra portability mobile notebooks and this model can also be improved with that kind of good speed processor. Celeron processors are outdated now a days and they have poor speed performance also. There will be very slow performance if you use Celeron with Windows Vista. This notebook comes with pre installed windows XP so that speed with XP is reasonable for travelling purpose.
*****
Internal Memory
Internal memory is another important feature in notebooks, and here is a good installed memory with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM. RAM size is excellent with compare to its processor but there are no match with its processor and RAM. It can get better improvement after having speed latest processor. Another internal memory in terms of installed storage capacity 20 GB Solid State Drive and I think this is the best feature this notebook has. Solid State Drive, one of the trustable hard disk drive at present, and we can trust on it with its quality and performance. Solid State Drive does not have any internal movable part so that there is a very less probability of disk crash. Storage capacity is not so good but considering this notebook it is acceptable. We can have external storage media like USB disk drive to keep higher data while travelling.

This notebook have more portable features so that there is very less configuration we can have but I wants to discuss some important features also, like it has interesting 1.3 Mega pixel Webcam for chatting while travelling....keep contact with your friends while travelling also. It also support wireless networking and LAN card so need not to worry for connectivity features because the purpose of this notebook is for internet use. Notebook also supports high definition audio so that u can enjoy your music while travelling and it can provide excellent high quality sound.

Over all it is a good ultra portable notebook for your travelling purpose. Have this and enjoy your life with full colors.

Summary: Good for travelling
