Easy on the netbooks; just give us more battery juice.

Sincerely,
A Bored Customer]]>Jun 30th 2008 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/
I find the 9" models personally the best in my opinion, with the 7" models having too small a screen and too low resolution, the 900/901 are the perfect models to me.

And now we'll get 10" models with thicker bezels around the screen ala the 7"!?

Asus, you used to be cool.]]>Jun 30th 2008 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jul 1st 2008 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jul 1st 2008 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/

The problem I see with this approach is resale value. There isn't going to be quite as much with new models coming out all the time. And it wouldn't be that bad either were it as cheap as ASUS wanted it to be but at $600, it's gonna break the bank for what it's designed to do for a lot of people.]]>Jun 30th 2008 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jun 30th 2008 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/
What's the 903? It seems to be a 9" screen in a 9" chassis, so how does it compare to the 901?

And what about a 902? Can't ASUS count?

(Lose the tacky chrome accents on the 903 and it's starting to look half decent.)]]>Jun 30th 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jun 30th 2008 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jun 30th 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jun 30th 2008 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/
Netbooks cannot afford wasted space in any portion of their design. Any bezel that is more than the necessary amount to hold the panel in place is wasted space. Terrible design decision.

901 and 1000 are the sweet spot from a functionality perspective in my opinion.]]>Jun 30th 2008 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/Jun 30th 2008 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/
I don't mind having a larger body and better keyboard with smaller screen. The HP 2133's keyboard is much more useful than the EEE's.

That is way more than the EeepC!


I really don't understand why they keep on introducing new and more expensive models, while the old ones are still not for sale! In most parts of the world people are still waiting for the 900.


Why make a 9 inch that is as big as a 10 inch. Just make a 7 inchm 9 inch and a 10 inch and let people choose! Stop making 30 different models of the same thing!]]>Jul 1st 2008 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/the-eee-pc-903-904-and-905-make-their-unofficial-debut/
They will offer rebates on their old models like the TZ. Just buy the TZ from a cheap place and ask for a rebate on top of it. You'll get huge amounts of discount this way.

-XP Home, I need XP PRO
-the 901 is around the corner and its supossed to have better battery and better power

If they release stuff at this rate I'll never buy becuase there will always be something better around the corner...

That said the HP 2133 still have my undivided attention.

The 701 has it's faults which you can generally overlook due to the price, the 900 should never have been released, it's such a waste of money for little real inprovement, other than the screen size. I guess the only consolation ASUS has is most of the recently released competing models from other manufacturers have the same poor value for money. The MSI Wind looks Ok on review, until the poor battery life is revealed.

Come on ASUS if you don't remember what made the 701 a success quickly, you will be dead in the water.]]>Jul 13th 2008 1:20AM
