Pros: 8.9in. display Multi-touch touchpad Good SSD storage capacity 1.3 megapixel webcam

Cons: Small keyboard No integrated optical drive No integrated 3G Shorter battery life than previous model

Verdict: The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.

Review summary: The Asus Eee PC range has been the most discussed laptop of the last 12 months, as it has created a whole new market segment of laptops – the mini-note or super-budget laptop.

Verdict: The Eee PC 900 (£330 inc. VAT) is the second version to be released and while it lacks the same super-bargain price as the original 701, it's still an impressive laptop. The main change is the use of an 8.9-inch screen instead of a 7-inch display. It ...

Review summary: One of the biggest selling features on the Asus Eee PC is the fact that it's affordable. Breaking new ground is the Asus Eee PC 900A, a netbook that can be had for less than $300. That's the same price that you'd pay for a 16GB iPhone! ..

Verdict: All you have to do is head on over to Best Buy to discover the Asus Eee PC 900A, an 8.9-inch subnotebook that happens to be powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. Aside from the inclusion of Atom, the 900A is basically identical to the older Eee PC ...

Pros: Asus makes PCs easy. You might say they're Eeesy PC. Anyway, we digress. The biggest improvement on the Eee 701 is the screen. Gone are the speakers either side of the panel, and in its place is a full 8.9-inch panel with a crispy 1,024x600 resolution ...

Cons: It's only half a year old but the 900 is already a bit dated by netbook standards. The Intel Atom processor that's now standard is absent - there's the same old 900MHz processor in the 701, and while the 12 or 20GB Flash memory will prevent dropped ...

Verdict: The Eee 900 is a great improvement on the original models: the screen is now just about visible, while the same fantastic portability is maintained. The only question is the price: with original Eees now going for under £200, are you prepared to pay ...
