Fast SSD is nice, but not the bulkier battery...
That's the spec we are missing.
We need an easy to interpret spec that tells how fast an SSD is for read/write.
Bulk is not good, but the difference isn't that great and the battery life should be epic. The original 901 has pretty decent battery life.
I think the bulkier battery is nice!
I want me some "Fine Ebony"
Asus EeePC 901 16 Go as the retailers call it, just means 16 GB SSD, because the French use GO instead of GB.
no, it's called the 901GO because it has built in 3g
@phail
provide that info please

@phail
thanks.
NOT HAPPY
Since getting my eeepc 901 3 months ago, ive now seen 20+ model from asus alone some of them bettering the spec and price, this one make me wonder why I didnt wait and get the samsung netbook instead as they only have one model, im sick of asus bring one or two out every week
with something better, but still good netbooks.
I don't understand the idiots complaining about too many EeePC models. It's not like a better model coming out somehow makes yours completely useless.
Stop your whining.
Quick somebody call the WAAAHMBULANCE
"some of them bettering the spec and price"
Holy fuckshit, what do people not understand about buying depreciating property such as technology? It'll always get cheaper and/or better with time, WTF do you expect? Goodness, every time I read of a complaint that someone thinks they got gypped because of this I want to ram a light pole through my eye socket.
fast?? thats not a fast ssd at all, thats about half speed!
Those are fast speeds for netbook SSDs at least.
The SSDs used in netbooks in general are much cheaper, but also much slower than the very expensive ones used in some notebooks and sold individually.
i got a 64gb ssd for my netbook from newegg 150.00
# Sequential Access - Read: 155MB/sec
# Sequential Access - Write: 90MB/sec
What happened to phasing out ones smaller than 10 inches?
I bought a MBA yesterday:)
With this many models and specs, there's nothing Eeeasy about buying one of these.
I'm sorry. Maybe you can return it tomorrow
cybergypsy I HATE YOU AND YOUR iCRAP NOW GO AWAY TROLL just wanted you to know that
You do realize that Cybergypsy is laughing right now, right?
Me a troll, been here alot longer then you newbie.....
lolz, I've been reading this site since 2004, my account just got messed up sometime last year and I had to start new.
My air has a better ssd, just wish it had the eee's battery life
Nope not returning it :) I returned my EEE Pc, was not worth 300 bucks
Not a hater boys, just the fact..... and yes you made me laugh :)
Guess the T-mo G1 can't scan a UPC bar code off of a monitor. ='(
I don't know fully
What this article is 'bout
It bores me a bit
Does anyone feel like the jacking up of a netbook's price tag past $500 is just a little ridiculous? It seems that anyone willing to pay that much for a little computer might as well just get an affordable 13 or 12". There's not that much of a difference.
I missed the part where netbooks were cutting edge.
Maybe that article was on Giz?
Don't worry about it Clack, with it's five hour battery, your air is only three-quarters of the eee.
But get a second battery, and you'll have a lot more power to meet your nee- wait.
