    Hi,

    Can anyone please tell me what the differance is between the two. I have also heard that the 900 is ment to be buggy, is this true? I am looking at getting one but also not sure why no one has stock of the 901.

    Look like the same problem when the 700 was able to be got but not the 701.

    Cheers

    900 has very weak battery -under 2 hours average use -2.5 max....also it has 900MHz cpu Vs 1.6 in the 901 ....all in all a 900 would have to be very cheap(299 absolute max?) to justify purchase ....The Advent 4211 looks better every day to me at 379 euro ...would love a 901 but not worth MORE than the XP/80GB hard drive /1.6MHz cpu/ 10" screen Advent .Wife has had one now for weeks and adores it -her all time fave Laptop by miles...

    Its value versus the Advent depends on what your purpose for it is. The Eee is smaller and lighter - i.e. more portable and has a much better battery (901) and a solid state disk.

    Different architectures, similar performance. The difference is that the 1.6 runs cooler. The main reason I hear from people preferring the 900 is that they prefer the old style chassis over the 901's newer style.

    I'd go with the 901 because of the extra battery life alone.
