There is one word that describes the Asus Eee PC 900: revolutionary.  It truly lives up to its name: it’s Easy to learn and to work and play with, it provides you with an Exceptional Internet experience and it is Excellent on-the-go. 

Easy to Learn, to Work and Play With  

Whether you are a Windows user or a Linux fan, the Asus Eee PC 900 has got you covered.  

The Windows version of the Asus Eee PC 900 has the genuine Microsoft Windows XP Home preinstalled, incorporating Microsoft Works for numerous office applications: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database and Calendar.  The GNU Linux version, on the other hand, has the OpenOffice applications installed: Writer, Calc, Impress, and Base.  Whichever operating-system version you choose, you’ll be equipped with an office suite where you can easily create:

- letters, reports, greetings cards

- spreadsheets to plan your budget and track your spending

- databases to store addresses, to-do lists, or home inventories.

What’s more, both office suites are interoperable with Microsoft Office!  You shouldn’t have a problem opening Word documents or Excel spreadsheets that your classmate or work colleague emailed you, and vice versa. 

What’s even better, the Asus Eee PC 900 is not just for working.  With either operating system, you have a number of preloaded games, a media player, and a sound recorder at your fingertips.  There’s also a 1.3-megapixel (1.3M pixel) webcam for you to share your surroundings while chatting online. 

Exceptional Internet Experience  

With the built-in 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN standard, you can easily access the Internet with the Asus Eee PC 900 anywhere there’s a wireless Internet connection.  For those who already have the “wired” DSL at home or at work, don’t fret.  The Asus Eee PC 900 also comes with an RJ45 10/100 Mbps port wherein you can easily plug your LAN cable. 

It’s nice to know my hardware, you say, but how am I going to surf?  If you choose the Windows version, the Microsoft guys provide you with Internet Explorer for browsing, Windows Live Messenger for sending instant messages, and Windows Live Mail for e-mailing.  Not to be outdone, the Linux version provides you with Mozilla Firefox for browsing, Pidgin for chatting, and a nifty Webmail button for accessing your webmail (e.g., Gmail or Hotmail). 

Excellent On-The-Go  

The Asus Eee PC 900 is heavy on the functions that a typical computer user does, but it isn’t heavy weight-wise.  With an 8.9” screen size and weighing less than a kilogram (just 2.18 pounds!), you can take it anywhere with you.  It truly is a wonder that something this light boasts of three USB ports, earphone and microphone jacks, a 1.3M pixel webcam, built-in WLAN, and a hard drive with a more-than-adequate storage capacity for your photos, music and data files (12GB for the Windows version and 20GB for the Linux version).

So whether you’re a student, an office worker, a housewife or someone who wants a functional yet portable laptop, the revolutionary Asus Eee PC 900 is for you.
