in just 5 months after its launch, ASUS has provided yet another round
of excitement with its release of the new Eee PC 900. This new
generation of the ever popular PC packs in a whole range of hardware
that includes a 8.9 inch widescreen, a 1.3M pixels webcam and 12GB and
20GB storage capacities for Windows and Linux platforms respectively –
catering to wider consumer needs while still maintaining the “Easy to
learn, work and play” concept by keeping the overall weight under 1kg.
Mobility
is one of the major factors attributed to the Eee PC’s success; and
this is in part due to the use of the built-in Solid State Disk (SSD)
technology – which offers a quiet, energy saving and shock proof design
for stable computing on-the-go. Traditional hard disks spin at 5400 RPM
(Revolutions per Minute) – making them more prone to data loss or
damage if shocks or bumps are received. Conversely, the Eee PC is able
to protect against such incidents, and is the perfect tool for outdoor
computing – suitable as an ideal companion for reporters, wildlife
photographers and other like-minded outdoor enthusiasts.
