ASUS EEE PC 900A Intel Atom N270, 1.6gHz, 8GB SDD (hard drive), 3 USB ports, 3 hours battery life, 8.9" widescreen - Windows XP Home Edition, StarOffice, iTunes, Microsoft Works, Internet Explorer. I must admit I was worried about buying a netbook but its size and colour (i have a beautiful pearl and purple one) convinced me. SInce i bought it my life has changed. I can easily connect to wireless networks and found that the snmall keyboard gets natural after a while. It has good sound and camera but I have come across a couple of problems. The trackpad sometimes stops working and then you have to use the buttons instead or reboot to get it working ...  Read the complete review

It's a really good netbook, one of the first around. Asus really brings quality products. At the moment I'd personally go for a newer netbook instead of this one. About two years ago I paid Euro400 for it. It worked really well, only the battery would slowly drain when the netbook was turned off. This is quite bad for your netbook so that's not a plus... The design is really slick, it's about a kilogram in weight so it's easy to take around. After using the keyboard for a while, the click buttons started to wear, they weren't really able to click anymore, they did work, but didn't make a click sound. Also the processor isn't a really ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this net book model for around 6 months, and have been impressed at almost every feature of it. It is extremely small, as the specs will say, and so is extremely portable, and only weighs around 1kg. The screen fills the back unlike the 700 models before it. The inbuilt webcam, speakers and wireless make it very convenient. The only thing lacking is bluetooth connectivity, which can be easily added with a dongle costing less than £5. The battery life is fair, but not exceptional. Extra size batteries are available, but come at some price, as only ASUS brand ones will do. The solid state drive is extremely fast, and is more reliable than ...  Read the complete review

The 900A is a very sturdy piece of kit, suitable for those on the move or just those who like to surf in front of the TV. It's great for watching movies on when you're on the train too! The OS it comes with is a dummed down linux for wannabee Windows users, stable but unattractive and fairly useless for any normal user. I recommend formatting and installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix straight away, with that OS it's a supremely powerful little machine. It'll take you a couple of days to tweak it to your liking but once done it's worth the money. Battery life when watching a movie or surfing is about 3 hours, you can get more my tweaking the brightness ...  Read the complete review

Me and my Mum have been using this netbook for around 3 or 4 years now. Cosmetically, this netbook is certainly nice looking with lovely clean lines, white casing and purple pattern. The mouse was pretty sensitive until Mum spilt a cup of coffee on it and shorted the mouse and keyboard (now been repaired!) The trackpad was smooth and easy to use and made scrolling a joy and the click buttons are quite satisfying to use and you know when you have clicked by feel. I love the keyboard and the flat profile of the keys is absolutely lovely although how close they are took A LOT of getting used to thanks to using mostly full size keyboards normally. One feature thats missing ..  Read the complete review
