Product Description

The Asus Eee PC 900 provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a
compact body with a larger 8.9-inch screen. Even with the larger size
of the Eee PC 900 when compared to the original Eee PC, the new model
weighs just over 2 pounds--perfect for students toting to school or
road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses
flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 16 GB of storage), the Eee
PC 900 is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in
overstuffed bags.

The Asus Eee PC 900's 8.9-inch screen is easier on the eyes, and the
integrated webcam makes video chats a snap.
Other features include a 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the
bezel above the LCD, a Secure Digital memory card slot, Wi-Fi
connectivity (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, a VGA output for
connecting to a monitor, and 1 GB of RAM. It comes preinstalled with
the Linux operating system, and it's also compatible with the
Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system.

For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful
selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40
built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the
user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets
and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For
journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a
computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate
with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme
portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution.

No technical manual required with the specially designed,
user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface.
It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in
Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of
intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both
experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your
digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

Nicely light at just 35 ounces, the Eee PC 900 has an 8.9-inch wide
TFT LCD with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (WXGA)--making it more
comfortable on eyes than its predecessor. Under the hood is a 900 MHz
Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM
(not expandable), and 16 GB of flash memory solid-state drive (SSD).
The SSD provides quiet performance and helps save energy, while its
shock-proof solid state design helps to guard against data loss or
shock-related damage if the laptop is dropped.

In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet
connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web
browsing (Firefox), e-mail, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing
word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other
productivity software to help keep you on track.

You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external
monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD)
memory card slot. The rechargeable battery provides up to 3.5 hours of
battery life (depending on usage). It's backed by a 1 year warranty
for parts and labor.
