ASUS Eee PC 900 (EEEPC900WF001) Netbook

I’ve grown to really like this netbook. It’s just so portable and easy to use.
Connects to B/G access points so easily (though it does have problems with some N spec access points). Mine is the Linux system with 4gb onboard fast ssd (which cant be changed but can be disabled and a slower 16gb add on ssd (which can be changed).

Loves-
• Light weight.
• Operating system Xandros Linux (especially in advanced desktop mode)
• Very good wireless transceiver.
• Very nice screen.
• Copes with most tasks well. Its hard to believe its only a 900mhz Celeron
• The ram is cheap to upgrade.(mines got 2gb now)
• And it’s very easy to install windows xp if you want to.
• If you buy a fast runcore ssd (available in 16/32/64/128gb) to replace the 16 GB secondary Asus ssd this netbook becomes much quicker as you can boot from the secondary ssd.
• Very solidly built doesn’t feel flimsy at all.
• Built in sd card reader is sdhc compatible so is really handy for digital cameras/camcorders.
• Comes with storage bag/sleeve and software restore / driver disks.

Dislikes-
• The standard battery doesn't last any where near what Asus say it will......but extended batteries are cheap on eBay :) and are well worth the outlay.
• Sound is tinny and poor using the built in speakers. But so are most laptops.
• No built in Bluetooth!

All in all the eepc range is good but for portability (Ie being small) the 900 and 904hd win my heart over some of the newer larger eeepc models.

WARNING newandusedlaptops4u are CON-ARTISTS

I bought a laptop from newandusedlaptops4u. Sadly it broke after I used it only twice (but I have heard that this item is 1st class when working). So I can not offer much advice about the product, but I can warn any potential buyers to avoid newandusedlaptops4u. These con-artists took my money and when I complained they requested I return the item (which cost me another £15.00 in P&P). They then returned the laptop to me a week later still broken. I once again phoned them, and was asked to return it for a second time – Which I did, costing me another £15.00 P&P. Since then I can not get a reply to any of my emails and the number listed on eBay no longer works! Since I paid for the item by cheque, eBay cannot give me a refund and are of no use whatsoever... Be warned newandusedlaptops4u claims to be a business, but are nothing more than con-artists!
