Asus broke through the market invading thousands of homes with its sub-notebook Eee PC 700. The small device has a 7-inch screen, a linux or Windows XP operating system, and other small notebook parts. The main glory of the device is it’s ultra-portability, and Asus is making the Eee an even better notebook. The Asus Eee PC 900 will increase the screen size to an 8.9-inch screen, but still leaving the same small size. The inner parts are basically the same (sorry, no Intel Atom for you) and the notebook still leaves the tiny keyboard that most aren’t fond of. The updated notebook will make its debut on May 12 in the US, selling at $549 for either an XP or Linux version. My personal sub-notebook selection is the HP 2133 Mini-Note, its got a sleek, aluminum exterior along with a a better price tag for what’s included. Of course, my ultimate goal is for Apple to release something like this, even though the MacBook Air is in a similar category.
