Overview

ASUS Eee PC 901

Editors rating
Rating: 8.8
Verdict

The Eee PC 901 is better than its predecessor, the 900. It looks nicer, has a faster, more efficient CPU and better battery life. It's larger and 100g heavier and its keyboard is still too small for our liking, but in many ways it's the pick of the 'netbook' litter.

Typical price

£ 319
