Quick look: Asus's Eee PC 901 and 1000
Taiwan's Asustek Computer (Asus), the leader of the mini-notebook category due to its early launch of the Eee PC, launched two new models of the family last month, the 901 and 1000, the first Eee PCs that use Intel's Atom microprocessor.
I was able to use both models at a company visit and you can see why Asustek is the leader in mini-notebooks.
For one, the company has put the speediest wireless Internet I've seen so far on a mini-noteboook, Wi-Fi 802.11n, which is a generation better than the 802.11b/g that's in most rival mini-laptops. Since mini-laptops, or netbooks, are mainly designed as Internet devices, a speedy wireless connection is vital.
The device I tried out downloaded Web sites much faster than rival mini-laptops with 802.11b/g, making it a big plus for the new Eee PCs.
Asustek has also worked to make the batteries last as long as possible by using power-saving components such as SSDs (solid state drives) for storage and LED (light emitting diode) backlights for the screen.
