Verdict: One thing that hasn't changed is the processor inside the Eee. It's the same Intel Celeron 900MHz CPU on a 915GM motherboard. That's where the Eee trumps the Via C7-M HP's Mini-Note, which otherwise has a far better keyboard, screen quality and much ...

Review summary: Until the ASUS Eee PC 4G burst onto the scene, the UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) category was something of a jokethe target of numerous wisecracks from journalists and reviewers (including yours truly). Our derision was due to the UMPC's inability to deliver ...
