OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Size matters, no matter what anybody says, and sometimes smaller is better. Especially if you know what to do with it, and Asus does. The Eee PC 901 is designed for people that need lots of power in a small package. The Intel Atom N270 CPU and 1GB of memory run this Windows XP Home Edition system with power to spare.

The 8.9" screen has a 1024x600 resolution. The smaller screen lets you easily use it on a plane or train. A 12GB SSD Flash drive has plenty of room for you work and entertainment files and has no moving parts so it saves power.

Designed to be used anywhere there is a built in WiFi controller that supports 802.11b/g/n protocols. If there is no wireless signal, then plug into a standard Fast Ethernet connection. A webcam lets you have video chats. You can use a Bluetooth headset or plug into the audio jacks.

Great new model

white Reviewed By: Chris F. on 7/8/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Amazing battery life, great screen, updated case looks much higher quality than previous generation, Atom performance doesn't disappoint. Finally an integrated Wireless-N card!
Cons: I did prefer the matte/eggshell finish on the previous model, and would also love to have the hires screen off the HP 2133.
Other Thoughts: I had the 2133 on backorder from HP for a few weeks, and was told by the reps they had no idea when theyd be getting more...plus I keep reading how poor of performance the Via C7 has. The new Eee is a little more expensive, but with such better hardware (aside from the screen) its a no-brainer.

It's Perfect

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The price is great and in my opinion you get more than you pay for. Sure the OS hard drive is only 4.00gb but its big enough and Asus must have seen it coming because they included a program on the CD that can move your C:\Program Files folder over to D:\program files and the D drive is 8gb so that helps free space on the C drive. They also included a neat little overclocking thing called the Super Hybrid engine it sets the Processors clock higher or lower depending on what your doing and whether you have it plugged in or not. Runs Starcraft and Starcraft brood war, the original roller coaster tycoon, PSX emulator, N64 emulator, GBA emulator, SNES emulator, and I'm sure many other things, nothing crazy (all before i upgraded to 2gig ram.). And for those of you wondering because it doesn't say, it has a 128mb integrated graphics card. Updating to 2gig of ram is also a really good idea. The ram in this is DDR2-200pin laptop memory clocked at 667mhz so you know what to update to.
Cons: The battery only lasts 6 hours for me at the most and that's with the volume muted, brightness all the way down Super Hybrid on power saving mode and no processes running at all just sitting there. When I use it, it lasts for about 5 hours but that's enough for me. The recovery disc they sent me just didn't work so I put my own version of windows on it and downloaded the drivers. The Asus customer support gave me a little trouble but after 2 phone calls and an e-mail they said they would send me a new recovery disc free. Originally they wanted $30.00 for a new one. Compared to other customer support they are actually very good. The woman in charge of RMA's there e-mailed me back in 30mins and we sorted everything out.
Other Thoughts: The RAM is single channel RAM so don't think you can put 2 ram chips in it there's only room for one. And I talked to the Asus support for anyone who cares but it does not void the warranty if you replace the ram yourself. you can easily find 2gig of ram that matches my description for under 20$ on this site. A large SDHC card is also a very good idea i bought a 16gig thats made for EeePC's it was at the bottom of the page as i checked out my Eeepc as something others bought when they bought this laptop.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Small, light, SSD allows full boot in under 30s. comes with case.
Cons: In practice, battery only gets about 6.5hrs with wireless on. 4GB disk fills up VERY quick if windows is not altered. 8GB SSD is slower than expected.
Other Thoughts: Make sure to make your default program files directory on D: instead of C: or your 4GB C: drive will quickly completely fill up with windows updates and programs (Asus provides a utility for this on their support and updates website). Wish it had a keyboard light like my thinkpads for working in the dark. Touchpad buttons also take some breaking in.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Battery life on this thing is great for me. The Asus interface to control the wireless connectivity is very intuitive. The Bluetooth link is a great plus as well. The touchpad is sized just right.
Cons: This netbook is advertised as having a 12GB hdd, its really a 4GB and an 8GB, this is kind of confusing.
Other Thoughts: This thing is teeny tiny, almost fits in your pocket. And like always Newegg gets it here amazingly fast!

Not Bad

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice Netbook. I mean you can't play games like FC2 or anything like that. But with the SSD drive it boots fast. My niece has a Eee PC to, but she has got a 120gig SATA, and it takes for ever to boot. This has a 12 gig SSD in it.
Cons: Asus partitioned the SSD, they made drive C just 3 gig's, and D is 9 gigs. With what it came installed with and getting updates from Microsoft for XP. C drive is almost maxed out. Microsoft better make smaller updates and hotfixes or they won't be able to install.
Other Thoughts: No where in the spec's did it say anything about partitioning the SSD like that. They did it backward.
If they had not partitioned it like that, it would have got the other 2 eggs.
