Comments about ASUS Eee PC 901 Netbook Computer (Fine Ebony):

The 9" display and 16/20GB of storage was the reason to buy this model. I install an XP pro on the 16GB and disable the base 4GB.
Performance is good, the display is clear and much better then the 7" I had before.
I disappointed from the lack of the hard drive connector on the mother board on this model, preventing the HD installation in the future.

Comments about ASUS Eee PC 901 Netbook Computer (Fine Ebony):

Hi,

I am using my Eee PC 901 every day when commuting on the train to Stockholm from Uppsala, it's a great product and perfect for studying on the move. I am studying Java programming and NetBeans runs great on this little system, it's also handy for watching Futurama :).

Performance wise it's not exactly a slouch but it won't set any world speed records either. Netbeans takes about 8 seconds to start up which is not bad at all. Boot speed is fantastic and highly optimised.

Another great feature is that the battery life is stupendous in powersave mode, I don't even bother to bring the power supply if it has a full charge sometimes!

I was not too impressed with the default operating system that comes with it however, as a "linux guy" I was planning to replace that with a gnu/linux distro of my own choice.

I do wish that Asus had gone with Ubuntu as the default operating system as I believe most users would find that much more comfortable than the supplied OS.

Overall, a magnificent product which I would recommend to anyone!
