Quick review

The good: Better battery, uses Atom CPU, new trackpad and mouse buttons
The bad: Heavier, same keyboard as 900
Verdict: The Atom-powered mini-notebook is heavier than previously but now offers a better battery life and the same high-level of usability

Have the 1st eee PC....dont think this is much of an improvement overall.......tleast not worth upgrading to....at the retail price i guess there'll be better choices anyway!!! Posted by PAVAN RAO, UK
Got my Eee PC 901 via Orange mobile phones. It's a great little bit of kit. No complaints so far. Yes the keyboard is smallish, but so is the machine. Easy to use, compact, reasonable battery life, around five hours, light and small enough to take almost anywhere. Easy and cheap to expand the memory with a SD card. The screen is just big enough to read web pages easily, I recommend one. Far more useable than a PDA because of its size. Go get one! Posted by M. Slater, Lancs, N.W UK
