One more 9 inch netbook fom ASUS, cheaper than others-ASUS Eee PC 904HA

ASUS Eee PC 904HA 8.9″ Netbook Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB, 160GB HD, Intel UMA Graphics, 802.11G, Webcam, Windows XP Home (Fine Ebony) - EEEPC904HA-BLK010X for $339.95

This Asus Eee PC 904HA comes with 6-Cell Battery Pack and 160GIG harddrive. It is based on Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU and should be as fast as my Eee PC 904HA. 160 Gig HDD is a very nice option. Battery life could be as good 5 or may be even 6 hours. One difference between Eee PC 904HA and Eee PC 901-904HA is slightly bigger.

Samsung Q1 Ultra - ELXP Tablet PC - NP-Q1U/600

Samsung Q1U-EXLP Q1 Ultra Mobile PC Intel A100 600MHZ, 1GB, 40GB HDD, 7″ WSVGA, 802.11b/g, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition for $649.95

The Q1 Ultra has the same size 7-inch display as its predecessor. Screen resolution is 1024 x 600 and is brighter compared to the older model with its’ 800 x 480 display. This bright higher-resolution screen makes reading, surfing Web pages, and watching videos much more enjoyable.
Samsung Q1 Ultra is the first of a new range of UMPCs that are based on Intels McCaslin architecture. McCaslin provides a 600/800Mhz processor coupled with a 945 chipset (Aero Glass support.)
If you’ve ever used a Pocket PC or Palm PDA, some of the features — and limitations — of the Q1 Ultra will seem very familiar. Its 7-inch, 1020-by-600 touch screen is about four times the size of the typical PDA screen, but it’s still small. And the price is very good for this model.

Windows XP installation on ASUS eeePC 901 netbook

ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9 Netbook, Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 20GB Solid State Drive, Wireless 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, Webcam, Linux OS Preloaded, Fine Ebony
You just got your new eeePC with Linux OS on it. This is specific version of Linux (XANDROS) that has its own unique user interface, modified by ASUS. Interface is very simple, easy and intuitive to use and offers the whole productivity software suit preinstalled. However, it is not compatible with other common flavors of Linux and you would not be able to enjoy completely the whole new world of Open Source Software. In this case, you may decide to move into more common direction and install Windows XP on your eeePC.

Hunt for the best netbook notebook-ASUS Eee PC 901

ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9″ Netbook, Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 20GB Solid State Drive, Wireless 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, Webcam, Linux OS Preloaded, Fine Ebony - EEEPC901-BK001 for $409.95

It seems that ASUS is offering $40 instant rebate. Together with Linux version of OS this explains low price. You can argue about what netbook notebook is the best. All of them have very similar list of features. After some research, I figured out that ASUS Eee PC 901 has the best combination of options I was looking for. It has the smallest size among 8.9 inch versions, the fastest Atom Intel’s CPU. It is the lightest among 6 battery netbooks, giving up to 8 hours of battery life. I don’t believe in 8 hours, it is more likely to get something between 5 and 6, but it should be better than 3 or 4 cell battery lifetime. For majority of other 8.9 inch UMPC’s 6 cell battery is an optional and cost additional money. It also has Linux and Windows drivers and this gives you additional flexibility in OS choices if you’ll decide to change OS later. And very active user community, helping to support ASUS Eee netbook PC’s, supplying interesting ideas for modification and upgrade. I could not resist and ordered one for myself. I’ll share my impressions as soon as I’ll get my hands on ASUS Eee PC 901
