Asus PC900 reviewed at Trusted Reviews

At Trusted Reviews, Riyad Emeran has had an early look at the Linux version of the new Asus PC900 discussed at length here before. Skipping to the end, his verdict is:

Asus has done a brilliant job of updating an already great product. The engineers have clearly listened to all the comments regarding the original Eee PC and attempted to put them right. The 1,024 wide screen makes the Eee PC 900 a joy to use, especially if you spend a lot of your time in a browser window. The extra memory and storage are also very welcome additions, and help make this version of the Eee PC a real alternative to a fully featured notebook. Yes the price is higher than the previous model, but I personally believe that the Eee PC 900 still represents staggering value for money. Ultimately, if you want a notebook that's small, light and still very affordable, the Eee PC 900 should be top of your list.


I've got a Windows version on the way (having already written about the Linux version of the Eee PC 701 in the Guardian in October and December) and will review it when it arrives.
