So a while back I posted that I was in the middle of testing some of the top net books up for sale. All together I tested three different net books. The Acer Aspire One, the ASUS Eee PC 901, and the Lenovo IdeaPad S10.
Next up is the ASUS Eee PC 901. The specs on this system were similar to the Acer, 8.9” (1024x500) widescreen, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 8GB solid state drive, and the added benefit of Bluetooth. I have say right out of the box I was very unimpressed with this net book. It had the same screen size as the Acer, however the dimensions were much smaller as well as the keyboard. Now I will admit that I do have pretty fat fingers, so that could be part of the reason I hated this keyboard. I did get the opinions from several people, and they all felt that unless you were a kid, it was pretty useless. I will say that it was pretty snappy and I believe part of that was because of the 8GB Solid State drive, however 8GB isn’t much to work with these days. In my opinion it is not worth the extra 100 bucks for this unit. On the Rob scale it gets a measely 2 stars. Sorry ASUS, you may be a top contender in the field, but not in this geek’s eye!
BTW the tests of these machines were performed for the company I work for because we are looking to buy several, this model was sent back without any further consideration.
