Overview

ASUS Eee PC 900

Editors rating
Rating: 8.7
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.

Typical price

£ 329
