Brad Linder — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 17:22:24 +0000

People are always asking which Linux distribution is best for this device or that. And the truth is, it depends. It depends on what it is you want to do. And it often depends on whether you favor performance or ease of use or any number of other factors. With that in mind, Phoronix has published a rather awesome article...

Asus cuts Eee PC 901 price: Now less than $500

Brad Linder — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:28:33 +0000

It looks like Asus is slashing the price of the Eee PC 901. Previously you could pick up this 8.9 inch laptop with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 12GB SSD, 1GB of RAM and Windows XP for about $599. But now Amazon is asking just $499 for the netbook and I'm guessing other retailers will soon follow suit. This isn't...

But if you care about little things like performance, here's a tip: You might want to pick up an Eee PC 1000H instead of an Eee PC 901 if you want to...

Eee PC 901 running Windows Vista

Brad Linder — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:02:00 +0000

We've already seen the MSI Wind and the Eee PC 1000H running Windows Vista. So it should come as no surprise that the Eee PC 901 is capable of running Microsoft's latest and most resource-intensive consumer operating system. But it's still nice to see it in action. Jkkmobile installed Vista on his Eee PC 901, using the drivers available at...

Brad Linder — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:01:00 +0000

Eee PC hacker extraordinaire jkkmobile has posted a video showing how to add a hard drive or a CF card adapter to an Eee PC 901. The whole process is made extraordinarily easy by the fact that Asus included a little shelf in the computer that's almost exactly the right size for resting a 1.8 inch hard drive. Because the...

Brad Linder — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:51:00 +0000

Asus has let loose with the UK pricing for its latest Eee PC models, and overall the prices don't look that different from the US versions. The 901 will set you back £299 or about $592 US, while the 904 will run £269 or about $533 US. The Eee PC 1000H (with an 80GB hard drive) will retail for £349...

Brad Linder — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:25:00 +0000

As expected, the Eee PC 901 is showing up at online retailers like Amazon and Newegg. While Amazon still says the 901 is available for preorder, Newegg says it will ship the $599 PC within 3-5 days.

Why is this Eee PC eating an Acer Aspire One? Because it can

Brad Linder — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:41:00 +0000

The folks at CNet's Crave blog found themselves with an Eee PC 901, an Acer Aspire One, and a decent camera on their hands. So they did what anyone in their position would do, they started snapping photos of the two computers side by side, and even one image of the Aspire One inside of an Eee PC. This particular...
