Bigger screen in same small package; new touch pad gesture controls; long battery life.

Not as much storage space as the Linux version; same old Celeron CPU as original Eee PC; keyboard just as cramped.

Multi-touch mouse trackpad; 8.9-inch display; decent storage

Tiny keyboard; no integrated optical drive

The Asus Eee PC 900 is a likeable update to the Eee PC 701. We're disappointed its keyboard is still so difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, high-resolution screen, multi-touch mouse trackpad and better storage gives it the edge over just about...
