Intel Classmate PC (9in.) review
Reviews We'd be happy to use one as a secondary or travel computer, although a Windows-powered Eee PC might be even more attractive. The rugged design makes it about 500g heavier than the Eee PC, but it also feels significantly sturdier.

PC World Claims UK First With Atom Netbook
News Fennell said netbooks — a term initially promoted by Intel to identify low-cost, low-performance, ultraportable laptops, and epitomised by the Asus Eee — are "far more convenient [than notebooks] when on the move and provide a full range of...

Intel Classmate PC review
Reviews Unlike the Eee, there's no webcam or speakers next to the display (small, tinny speakers sit right above the keyboard). The 7in.display, again like the Asus Eee, has a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, which means there's not a lot of screen space...

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC review
Reviews HP's 2133 Mini-Note PC addresses the same market as the ASUS Eee at a similar price, but has the look and feel of a more expensive system. ASUS Eee PC has a slightly smaller footprint and weighs less, and its plastic construction feels positively...

Acer Aspire One review
Reviews The Aspire One's 24.9cm by 2.9cm by 17cm chassis makes it approximately 25mm wider than an Eee PC 901, but it's also marginally thinner. At 995g, it's also lighter than the 1.1kg Eee 901. The curved edges and glossy blue finish (it's also available...

Lenovo Joins The Netbook Crowd
Blog To that end, they come in a range of colours, including Eee-like white and 'pastel pink': However, as with the Eee and its brethren, we fully expect mobile types within businesses to infiltrate these highly portable (1kg, 2.5cm thick) notebooks...

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 review
Reviews Component-wise, the Mini 9 is similar to other recent Netbooks, such as the Eee PC 901 and the Acer Aspire One (which all use Intel's Atom CPU). Eee PC, but certain keys — Tab, Caps Lock, and so on — are reduced to small slivers.

ASUS U2E review
Reviews The screen measures 11.1in.across the diagonal, which is only a little larger than those seen on 'netbooks' such as the ASUS Eee 1000. If you're into video calling (over Wi-Fi), there's a VGA-resolution webcam located just above the screen.

Notebook Design: Ten Things We Love review
Reviews The 36W (12V, 3A) adapter for an ASUS Eee pictured above, for example, measures just 85mm by 34mm by 26mm and weighs around 150g. A webcam is only as good as its accompanying software. Good webcam software

Windows Vista - Here I Go Again!
Blog Comment It comes to something when my wee Eee running a much-hacked-about Ubuntu consistently beats an expensivo Sony with Vista. Ah, now, I just tried to run Skype on my VIsta laptop and it didn't want to know about the webcam.

ASUS Eee PC 900 review
Reviews The Eee PC 900's webcam is now a 1.3-megapixel unit, a big step up from 0.3 megapixels on the 701. Step forward the Eee PC 900. We had hoped that the Eee PC 900 would have a larger keyboard than the 701's, but were disappointed.

Wireless Standards: The Early Years

Eee By Gum!

The Lowdown On Asus' Eee PC

ASUS Eee PC 701 review
