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?

Well, that's rather discouraging, then. Hopefully it'll still allow ASUS to make a laptop with equal performance but smaller power drain. The ability to take it anywhere (hell, it's not much larger than my calculator) is somewhat hampered by the constant need for more power.
I'm really starting to want one, especially for (and I know this was essentially a lucky break on ASUS's part) the fact that it's got a much larger screen but the device itself is the same size.
