Asus Eee PC 901

Atom-powered Asus Eee PC 901 netbook is expected to go on sale on July 4-th across the North America and we’re going to make a quick overview of this ultra-compact notebook. This model is a successor of the previous Eee PC 701 netbook which became a best seller in the low-cost ultra-portables niche (despite the fact that its selling price was higher than it was announced at the pre-launch). The brand new PC 901 model not only sports a more sophisticated 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, but also includes Bluetooth, a capacitive 6-cell 6600mAh battery, 802.11n Intel Wireless Link 4965 Wi-Fi and a 12GB solid state drive. It also has a bigger 8.9-inch display that has 1024 x 600 resolution, its webcam is 1.3 Megapixels, and there are 3 USB 2.0 ports, a card reader and a VGA port for an external monitor.

Users are certainly going to appreciate the fact that the keys of the new Eee 901 are somewhat bigger than on the previous model, although it can still take time to get used to typing on a smaller keyboard. The Asus Eee PC 901 has basically everything that one might require from a portable netbook, it has the connectivity that will suffice you in 95% of the cases, the lightweight and fast SSD drive and easy panel access to all upgradable hardware (be it a hard disk, RAM or a wi-fi card). All in all, this makes the new Asus’ netbook a must-have gadget for mobile users. Let’s cross the fingers though that the price is not too high when the Eee 901 appears in shops.
