Does it able to stand the heat? As in if I use it for 24/7.

went to asus store ds afternoon and asked the salesman if they have eeepc 900 he answered "whats dat? a processor? ...what a shame! they re working in asus store and yet they dont know eeepc 900.

No, you didn't mention mobility at all, so I don't think the EEE PC is something for you. Get a cheap laptop - it's much more comfortable to use.

Added on May 18, 2008, 8:53 amI'm currently using my EEE to do casual ebook reading on-the-go. Still haven't setup PPP on it so I can't use 3G yet.. but it should be soon The battery life is really a big problem - it doesn't feel like I'm getting 2 hours out of this thing. Besides, it drains battery very quickly while under suspend mode.

my battery easily last me 3 hours+ of movies at 40% brightness, earphone and 600Mhz. using 5400mAh battery

for battery drain in suspend mode, google for C3 mode

Hey guy!
hv u all check tis out yet! Link
Sum1 selling the eeePC900 in lowyat d.

One of the problems with the EEE keyboard is its lack of dedicted PgUp/Down keys. They are overloaded into the Up/Down keys where you need to press it in conjunction with Fn.

This makes it impossible to scroll in most apps using only one hand!! An exception is Adobe Reader, where you can use rightShift + Up/Down.

Ah, yes. Mobility is the most important part!!

OK, if you think so

I suggest that you at least get a USB keyboard+mouse to use when you're docked at a desk.

Using the EEE sure gets me funny looks on the streets. A fair number of people have come up to ask me about it. Finally got 3G hooked up through my Nokia today, and it's starting to fulfill my expectations

Errr.. scroll with the touchpad??

anyone tried OS X on eee pc?

interested on EEE PC 900 for OS X

anyway is there any URL teach how to mod it?

BTW what's the difference on 900 and 901?

I saw the haxs tho... Pretty nice. But what I heard it was damn lagging for the OS to run.

EEE 900

Same specs like the old EEE 701 but with larger screen which support 1024x600 screen rezo.
And a trackpad which utilizes multitouch technology... More or so like Apple multitouch.

EEE 901
New design.
No ASUS logo at the laptop, replaced with EEE
Bluetooth
New Intel Atom processor
Seems... Bulkier....

IC

what about the price difference?

i only need EEE PC which can mod for fun.

i also heard 901 atom processor is slower than celeron

so 900 is cheaper, right?

Too slow. I might as well press the "down" key, which does the same thing and requires less effort.

instaling osx tiger either on 4gb ssd on the eee701 or on the 4gb ssd not the 16gb ssd of the eee900 is not exactly rocket science...but in order for wifi to work you need to install the dell 1391 builtin..and do..the vga thingy..osx runs very well under 630mhz not full 900mhz speed...and only tiger, not leopard is supported by the celeron cpu which supports only up to SSE2...but I can't wait ti try leopard on the eee901 atom...
