8.9
inch LCD Screen - 1024 x 600 pixels
Asus Eee PC 900 16G, Linux OS
Although we reccommend the
Linux version with an SSHD drive you
will find that there are various different versions out there. If you
decide that you really can't do without a 160GB conventional hard disk
or Windows XP then please at least
buy an Asus Eee PC with the larger 8.9 inch screen.
This is not an area to skimp
on, the older 7 inch screen may seem like a much cheaper option but
it does make a big difference. The newer 8.9 inch screen has a higher
resolution making it easier on the eyes and, most websites will be viewable
full width without having to scroll from side to side. With the old
7 inch screen sideways scrolling is a real pain and the larger screen
upgrade was almost THE biggest improvement over earlier Asus
Eee PC models.
