First Full Review of New Asus Eee PC 900

An anonymous reader writes "After months of rumors, the new 8.9in screen Eee PC is out in the open and the first review is online. As well as the larger screen you get 1GB RAM, 20GB Storage and a multi-touch touchpad. It costs more than the old Eee PC, but it definitely sounds like it's worth the extra cash." I always thought the appeal of the original was the ridiculously low price, coupled with the ease of hacking. Not sure if the sequel will meet that challenge.

Re:HPC Pro does the trick better.

Sorry, but I've USED Windows CE before.

I know just how terribly unresponsively it performs.
I know how terribly limited the selection of available software is
I know how crippled all the "pocket" apps are.
I know just how completely lacking external hardware drivers (eg. printers) are.

If you need more than something that just barely lets you type basic documents and sync them with your desktop, WinCE is a lame duck.

The HPC form-factor is quite nice, but the realities of using one for any length of time is not so pleasant.
