I'd prefer a whole-day battery for the Gigabyte M912 though, I think that the extra 100$ for a touchscreen (And the pivot that makes it actually usable, unlike the hacked EEEs) and Expresscard are worth of it.]]>Jul 25th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
I think we all need to realize that "Eee" just means "Asus" now, too. Everyone is getting in a huff (myself included), but really at this point, Eee has replaced Asus as the company's branding.]]>Jul 25th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
A battery that would slide to the bottom in addition to the regular battery would be way more usable, since you can take it out when you don't need it without rebooting the machine, ect.]]>Jul 25th 2008 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
Asus: how about you go back to your nice 7 or 9 inch portable and keep working to make it better instead of keep increasing the LCD size hoping we would be swayed like some naiive sheep (although some are actually dumb enough to be buying the upcoming 10 inch which for the same price, you can get a REAL computer a few inches bigger, that can do much more)? See the idea is : ultra portable, UMPC, not Increase size until money is milked out of every oraface.

Asus: please wake up. I still like your Mobo's though :)]]>Jul 25th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Atom came along so they made a 901 and improved the 900 by giving it BT and wireless N amongst other improvements.
People would ask what's the point in going back to improving the 7" with bezel when they've got the 9" in the same form factor - getting rid of the bezel means shrinking the case giving an even smaller keyboard causing more complaints.
They come out with the 10" to satisfy those complaining about the keyboard and at the same time improve even more.
Then there's the 904 which gives a cheaper option for the bigger keyboard problem.

There's me thinking they were making it better. They've increased the screen size past the "nice 7 or 9 inch portable" by 1 inch and you're complaining?

To me it looks exactly like what they're saying, filling in the gaps:
Some people want the smallest of everything/cheapest - 701
Some people want a bit more - 900/1
Some people want a bit more still - 1000
Some people want a bit more but with a bigger keyboard without spending more going for the top model - 904

And i'm dumb enough to get the 10 inch. So what if you can get a full size laptop for the same price, it's exactly that, a FULL laptop, so it's big and cluncky. Don't see many 10 inch full specced laptops for the 1000/H price. The 1000H is only £20 more than the 901 so you must be pretty dumb if you think the 9" is nice when for £20 more "you can get a REAL computer a few inches (plus another inch) bigger, that can do much more"]]>Jul 25th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
Yes, this price is REALLY low, but at the same time, if it costs more than that, I might as well wait for Dell to release their version of Netbooks come Spring next year and have better screen size, battery life, newer computer, ETC!]]>Jul 25th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 25th 2008 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
I for one, am very interested in a long battery for the EEE series - is it too hard to presume that 'whole day' equates to a working day ? I would love it if there is an 8 hour battery for the EEE]]>Jul 25th 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/24 - 8(sleep) -2(eat) -2(traffic) = 12
12 hours is the "whole day" mean. ]]>Jul 25th 2008 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/Jul 26th 2008 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/whole-day-eee-pc-batteries-internet-storage-coming-later-this/
