When Asus released its Eee PC, praise was almost universal. People loved the device's size, low price, and the fact it came with Linux appealed to many geeks. Consequently, the device sold rather well, and was a hit for Asus. However, the device had two major shortcomings: its small screen (7" 800x480), and its relatively short battery life. Asus took the critcism to heart, and came up with the Asus Eee PC 900, which has a 9" 1024x600 screen. So, what's the verdict?

And the verdict is... I am buying it!
I already have the 4G Surf model, upgraded to 1G RAM, running Arch Linux (SSD) and FreeBSD 7.0 (!) (SDHC). Larger screen, faster processor, a lot more disk space. If only battery capacity was larger. Can't have it all I guess...
