Amazon.com Product Description
The newest generation of its popular Eee PC line, the Asus Eee PC 900 provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a compact body with a larger 8.9-inch screen. Even with the larger size of the Eee PC 900 when compared to the original Eee PC, the new model still weighs under 2 pounds--perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 12 GB of storage), the Eee PC 900 is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags. 
The Asus Eee PC 900's 8.9-inch screen is easier on the eyes, and the integrated webcam makes video chats a snap. | Other features include a 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, a Secure Digital memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, and a VGA output for connecting to a monitor. It comes preinstalled with the Linux operating system, and it's also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution. 
No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface.. |  | It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio. Nicely light at just 35 ounces, the Eee PC 900 has an 8.9-inch wide TFT LCD with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (WXGA)--making it more comfortable on eyes than its predecessor. Under the hood is a 900 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM (not expandable), and 12 GB of flash memory solid-state drive (SSD). The SSD provides quiet performance and helps save energy, while its shock-proof solid state design helps to guard against data loss or shock-related damage if the laptop is dropped. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), e-mail, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The rechargeable battery provides up to 3.5 hours of battery life (depending on usage). It's backed by a 1 year warranty for parts and labor. Specifications

 Great little laptop July 22, 2008
We bought this for my daughter to use at college in conjunction with a desktop. This gives her a small device to take to class, etc. but she will have her desktop for the heavy work. We're very pleased with the quality of the machine. It seems to do everything she needs, although if you have big hands I think it would be a lot less user friendly. I would definitely buy it again.
 Just as promised July 17, 2008

This little gem has performed just as promised. It's pretty quick and frankly, XP is nice to work with again. Screen is bright and sharp, speed is certainly adequate. Main problem is just size of keyboard, but that comes with the territory. Just brush up on your two finger typing and you'll be fine. A great bargain.
Light, boots fast, good wireless July 17, 2008

I bought this for travel use and found it perfect. I had previously used a Sony PSP to watch movies during trips but tired of the small screen and the need to convert files to the mp4 format the PSP uses. I went with the XP version of the eee PC because there are a lot of video players (GOM, Real Player, etc) that work on XP. I get video files in a lot of different formats and its easier to load on video players than constantly worry about converting the video files. The battery life of the eee PC 900 12G is nothing to rave about but I always take along my myPower 3450 dual daisy-chained batteries which are designed for powering the large laptops so this low power eee PC barely moves the power meter on a cross country trip. I haven't taken it on one of my China trips yet but I don't expect it will have any difficulty powering the 12-hour trip. One last note, I found the wifi capability quite good in making connections to the internet in the hotels I stayed in.
Great little computer!! July 16, 2008
I bought this mini-notebook for my husband and he says it's the greatest gift he's ever gotten. He absolutely loves and and it is very useful. It is worth spending the extra money to get the unit with the Windows operating system.
 OK, except for the things they dont tell you July 14, 2008

I recieved this computer. I got it started up and I love the setup for an ultra portable unit. The only problem is that the hard drive is not 12 GB its actually an 8 GB unit and a 4GB unit that are 2 seperate drives....so basically until I can find an external CD drive to see if it is even possible to reformat it ....into 1 drive,or if it is actually 2 seperate units and cannot be done. Also if you want to add more memory, unlike other computers, it will void the warrenty. I found this to be stupid, as I really wanted to put and extra 1gb in this unit without voiding my warrenty.
