ASUS Eee PC 900 Linux Specifications and information

ASUS Eee PC 900 Linux alternatives

The 8.9" screen fixes one of the few problems of the Eee PC 701 and brings the resolution up to something most people would regard as a minimum for Windows XP. There is a minimal, almost undetectable difference in the size of the overall device.

The Eee PC 900 is a larger screen version of the 701. It is due to launch in mid-April for 399 Euro. The web cam is slightly improved, the mousepad is larger and the memory is 1Gb. The screen will add some drain to the battery and this is expected to be in the order of 5-10%.

ASUS Eee PC 900 Linux alternatives

Asus Eee PC X101CH, 10.1 inch, 1000 grams (2.2 lbs)
Samsung N100 (MeeGo), 10.1 inch, 1030 grams (2.27 lbs)
The N100 is hitting a very low price point at launch which means street prices could be even less. The 3-cell battery looks to be good quality (40Wh is good, but not confirmed by Samsung at this stage.) A matt screen and the usual array of netbook connections for USB devices, SDHC cards, wired networking, screen and audio will put the device in a far more flexible position than devices running a mobile operating system. For the price, this is looking like a real bargain.
ASUS Eee PC X101, 10 inch, 920 grams (2.03 lbs)
Highlighting perhaps where Meego might be fitting in, this is a no-frills netbook with small SSD storage, a super light weight and a very low price.
Fujitsu Lifebook MH330, 10.1 inch, 1100 grams (2.43 lbs)
Samsung N350, 10.1 inch, 1060 grams (2.34 lbs)
Toshiba AC100, 10 inch, 867 grams (1.91 lbs)
As with the Compaw Airlife 100, the AC100 looks to come without Google Market and Google apps. Availability is confirmed for the UK at a reasonable 299 pounds. As Android market develops, sideloading of apps onto the AC100 could prove interesting. If a 3.0 upgrade is planned for 2011 then this becomes a very interesting lightweight, low-cost 3G netbook.
MSI Wind U135, 10.1 inch, 1089 grams (2.4 lbs)
Compaq Airlife 100, 10.1 inch, 1000 grams (2.2 lbs)
From our hands on at MWC we predict this to be an important product in the netbook world as it teases users with a more social, connected and location-aware set of features. The first 'Social Netbook' that gets it right in our opinion. Pricing unknown at this stage.
Mobinnova Beam, 8.9 inch, 836 grams (1.84 lbs)
If the Beam includes a true, Google, Android OS this will be one of the first ever non-phone products to be approved by Google. If not, the Android experience will be incomplete. (No marketplace or Google apps.) Build quality seems to be very good, it's lightweight and if the price is right, this really could be an interesting netbook / smartbook
Asus Eee PC 1008HA (Windows 7 ), 10 inch, 1089 grams (2.4 lbs)
