What the Experts are Saying
"Why the conversion? For starters, it's fairly light and lean (weighing 2 pounds and measuring 9.8 by 6.7 by 1.14 inches), yet it still manages to squeeze in Intel’s 1.6-GHz Atom processor. Aside from MSI’s Wind, this is one of the first machines to show off how well Intel’s bargain-priced CPU can perform."

"Atom’s biggest contribution to the Eee PC 901 is in the area of endurance. It helped power the 6-cell battery to nearly 5 hours of battery life with Wi-Fi turned off, which is short of the 7.8 hours touted by Asus, but still enough juice for plenty of computing."
