Review of the Asus Eee PC 900 12G

ASUS Eee PC 900 12G (8.9" Display, 900 MHz Intel Mobile CPU, 1 GB RAM, 12 GB Solid State Drive, XP Home) Pearl White

Budget and portability, the Asus Eee is the computer of choice for students and businesspeople who need extreme portability. The price of this computer is right for those who must pay attention to budget and still need a computer to perform their school or work functions.

This particular model comes with Windows XP as the operating system. It has a 12 GB hard drive. A comparable model that comes with the Linux operating system comes with a 20 GB hard drive. The reason for the difference is the cost. In order to keep the cost low, it is necessary to come down on the storage space on the Windows model.

These laptops are incredibly durable and tiny. It has a small 8.9 inch display and a tiny keyboard that might take some getting used to. These computers are tiny enough to throw in a book bag and take along for students. They are tough little machines and are able to withstand anything a student might dish out.

For professionals on the road, these are lightweight and will provide little difficulty in traveling. They have wi-fi capability for web access on the go. There is also a webcam installed above the display for convenient web chatting.

If you are looking for a budget machine that is both strong and attractive this machine is the way to go. For the money that you will spend you won't find anything with these features. If you spend a little bit more you can probably get a full sized laptop with more features, but you will be sacrificing the extreme portability of this model.
