ASUS EEE PC? special digital helper. ASUS EeePC X101CH. Asus eee pc netbook parameters
The Asus company was the first to start producing netbooks and dossi zalishaetsya among the leaders both for the assortment and for the sales of low-cost mininotebooks. True, in the rest of the hour, more and more often sound the thought about those that the design of Eee PC netbooks is not abian, and we are more suitable. For a wink to finish the expensive (and not that popular) modifications 1008, 1016 and 1018, all Asus netbooks look practically the same. And if for corporate devices steel style is less important, then portable models are seriously respected.
It's not surprising that in 2012 Asus's company was called to change the design, high and not too much. The budget thin model X101 was launched lately, and then the review of the entire model range began. Our looker sees a new model of the 25 series, "Universal" mid-price netbook Eee PC 1025C, which will become the basis of the Asus netbook lineup in 2012.
Technical characteristics
As you can see, the numerical models of Asus netbooks are built one in one, in the first place, decorated with outer panels, and in another way, with a warehouse of interfaces and peripheral extensions. The Eee PC 1025C model will be placed, better for everything, at the middle of the future line.
This netbook is based on the new Intel Atom platform, which is codenamed Cedar Trail. At the moment, Intel is releasing only two third-generation Atom processors - N2600 and N2800, which differ in clock frequency and energy savings, and are installed in the Eee PC 1025C netbook. The amount of operational memory is set to 1 or 2 GB, depending on the configuration. The netbook has a thin 7-mm hard drive with a capacity of up to 320 GB, a card reader for supporting SD/SDHC cards, a VGA webcam (0.3 MP), and a built-in microphone. The set of interfaces is practically standard for netbooks of the current generation: three USB 2.0, wired and wireless mesh, VGA and HDMI. Virobnik also announces modifications to the addition of the USB 3.0 controller. The functionality of the netbook is short only in one aspect: the other speaker is tidied up and there is no possibility to connect an external microphone.
Unfortunately, the netbook of the new generation is not serviced by the Vlasnik himself. The case is folded from two halves, there are no visible lids. There are no middle SO-DIMM slots for expanding RAM: retailers for saving space on the system board were not transferred. A hard disk can theoretically be replaced, but only for such a thin one, small capacity (with an eye to the design features).
Traditionally, Asus comes with more netbooks with more battery capacity. Our device has a 6-core battery with a nominal capacity of 56 W per year, "dispersed" virobnik up to 57.7 W year. The official website states that the charge of such a battery should be charged for 12 years of uninterrupted work, but, better for everything, the result is taken away for the full duration of the effort. Knowing Asus's positive optimism in regards to food, we can safely assume that in reality the results will be less hostile.
In this way, we are talking about finishing a standard new generation netbook, which is more similar to, firstly, with a larger battery capacity (not in all configurations), and in a different way, with a faster ability to sound. It is obvious that to turn the respect of the buyers of the pristrіy, we can only use the design.
Design and construction
Netbook Eee PC 1025C is included in the new Flare series: in the front Seashell series you can check for the index "25" at the model number. The new design, in our opinion, is more elegant, modern and at the same time practical. The body of the netbook has become more flat (though, like earlier, may have a rounded puffy shape), not rounded, but slightly flattened, like in Asus series U laptops.
Inter'єr nareshti avoiding the nabrous gloss: the panel under the wrist and the area of the keyboard are covered with one detail from the short matte plastic. The touchpad has a slight bulge, it has the same texture as the panel itself, it is secured by a solid chrome button. The frame of the screen is matte embossed, imitating rough polishing, the bottom is also embossed, ale under coarse fabric. All materials are more practical, they should not wander through the fingers, they are easy to clean - the watch behind the annex has become significantly less foldable, lower at the front of Asus netbooks.
Oskelki model 1025C is universal, it is available in many streaming colors: black, white, blue, dark red. The cover of the netbook can be short matte, like our test copy, or smooth glossy, without visor. I also use pale erysipelas and brown variants, which are less common in matte viconan. The release is also identical to the characteristics, design and design of the Eee PC 1025CE netbook, which can be more brightly colored.
The construction of the hull copes with a scorching attack. The zhorstka is also hard, the lid is fastened on tight loops, without any backlash. All panels are well matched and soundly grounded, slits, which are cut in design and do not reflect the outgoing appearance of the device. The case has a large reserve of hardness, does not bend when squeezed, does not crunch. The keyboard is superficially fixed - with strong pressure, the keys sink more, lower loudly, but in general, when typing the text, there are no problems.
Having carefully assessed the design of the model, we revealed only two shortcomings: first, the battery protrudes 6 mm downwards, lifting the netbook over the table, in a different way, kut the screen, including through the battery, 130 °. Otherwise, the Eee PC 1025C is a light, compact and neat device with a handy body shape and practical workmanship.
Screen
Our test copy was equipped with a matte RK-matrix of an unknown IVO (Infovision) maker. It is strikingly significant that the brightness of the image did not suit us: in the first place, I look around the circle, with strong colors and brightness, with a slight look at the perpendicular, in another way, through the low contrast, the image becomes fuzzy, cloudy.
The color of the okhoplennya matrix is small, only green colors are normally seen, and blue and red ones are not sufficiently pure and bright. The picture on the screen is transcendentally cold and may have an unacceptable sight. Regardless of the accurately tuned din, that reserve of brilliance, the blatant brightness of the image appeared lower than the middle.
Sound
Unfortunately, in the Eee PC 1025C netbook, the retailers spared one speaker. That's why the sound is suitable only for the simplest tasks - sound indication, sounding of video clips, etc. The netbook has one audio sound, there is only one insurance for connecting headphones, sound speakers or a headset. From the other side, for sound transmission at a high brightness, HDMI can be speeded up, and for video calls, the possibilities in the built-in devices are sufficient.
Keyboard
New models of Asus netbooks have shrunk the keyboard in front without changing. Although the glossy lining was replaced by a more practical matte lining, the same color and texture as the other panels. The layout of the flat short keys is fully handy: the horizontal keys are 92% normal, the vertical is 86%, the layout is practically full, saving the service keys. Deyaka neruchnіst mozhe zavdati shortened right Shift. The keyboard is provided with color markings, which are easier to read: the Cyrillic alphabet is green, the icons of “hot” combinations are gray-black.
The mechanism of the keyboard is not ideal for us. Good, great, that the head of the keys is great, not shortening (2 mm). However, the membranes feel supernatural springiness, the stench is strongly springy, the threshold for spratsovuvannya is felt approximately in the middle of the keystroke. It was not worthy of the way that the keys are lightly buffed, at some places it’s commemorative to pull.
Buttons, indication
The additional keys of the Asus netbook are not overridden, although earlier Eee PC models had a power-saving key. The indicators are implemented in the same way as in most other Asus laptops: colored light with contrasting markings under the touchpad. When the krishts are closed, the stench is good to remember, and it’s a crazy plus.
touchpad
Eee PC 1025C netbooks have Elan or Sentelic touchpads installed, our copy has the first. The touchpad area is supposed to be large, but in reality the sensory area is smaller, approximately 70x32 mm. The shortness of the surface is not acceptable, that finger on it is forcibly forced, although in general the hardness is on the average for netbooks.
The controller supports 2- and 3-finger dії, but through the small sizes of the touchpad (especially in height) it is important to brush them. A chrome-plated solid button can make a great sound and quiet clatter, it does not strike with particular brilliance.
Productivity
Having previously protested for some netbooks with the Atom N2600 processor, we did not take away the satisfactory result: the productivity of the new Intel platform for netbooks was lost at the same low level as before. Perhaps, the Atom N2800 processor, the frequency of which is 15% higher, rehabilitating the platform?
Unfortunately, after a lot of tests, a netbook with an Atom processor, like before, can be played not only by cheap laptops with a Celeron processor, but also by netbooks on the Amd platform. We competed with danim, otrimanimy when testing (Amd E-450) and (Atom N2600).
MobileMark 2007 has Asus netbook performance score 10% lower, Sony's lower, and only 11% higher, HP's lower.
In PCMark 7, the Asus netbook did better in the speed test for data processing (video encoding), and that and then the sound of a clear short video. In other tests of the third package, the Asus netbook gave Sony up to 30 to 45%.
In the Windows test, the Atom processor took a high mark for the same video processing, and for the decision of the show, it gave up to the Amd E-450 processor.
As before, the attempt to launch graphics benchmarks and games ended in failure.
Hour of autonomous work
A 56 Wh battery plus a new Atom processor - and the netbook works without problems for more than 7 years with variable Wi-Fi and more than 8 years - without access to the wireless network.
The average power consumption of the Asus netbook in the MobileMark 2007 test, at the same time, was higher, lower, - close to 6.2 watts. The maximum hour of work without recharging, which we were able to measure in the MobileMark 2007 test (capacity at a level of 125 cd/sq.m., wired interfaces included), turned out to be noticeably less for a month of 12 years.
Noise and heating
The new Asus netbook has a smaller cooling system, lower in the front models of its cooling system, but the processor is more advanced and the cooling technology is less. In our opinion, in this model, the retailers have reached the optimal balance between the efficiency of heat input and equal noise. So, the netbook heats up three times more, lower analogues: at the idle station, the temperature of the processor becomes 50 °, and the panels under the wrists and the bottom are constantly warm, but at maximum load, the temperature of the processor does not exceed 67 °, and the noise stops being weak, indistinct in the minds , for example, office.
The body heats up less in the radiator area at the bottom (40-44 °) and at the top (34 °, the left part of the keyboard), the bottom is noticeably warmer (32-37 °), but the wrist area does not heat up more than 32 °. Let's guess, we had a configuration with the N2800 processor, thermal imaging of some kind richer, lower for the N2600 processor, but with it, it was quite comfortable to use a netbook for navigation. What can not be said about the apartments of the previous generation.
Visnovok
Chergovy Asus netbook, sing-song, know your purchase, no matter how high the level. We were honored with a neat streaming design, a very practical body, a great selection of color options. Don't make noise, have adequate hardware platform productivity, work up to 9 years with batteries. The screen, the keyboard mechanism, the screen opening were not worthy, the ability to easily pick up the case for modernization and cleaning. It seems that in this model more respect is attached to the old look, practicality and functionality and less ergonomics. Well, such a pidhid may have the right to a foundation.

new neat design;
matte panels that do not get confused;
mіtsna tsіlna konstruktsіya lid and body;

primary layout of the keyboard;
large battery;
silent robot.

Dzherelo info:
Also a beautiful 10.1-inch netbook of creations based on the Intel Cedar Trail platform. Virobnik for the hell of a time was able to create an effective, light (1,008 kg) and practical netbook. The novelty is released in a number of color solutions, the prototype for testing the red-black version looks the most effective. Vin will become a wonderful gift for the donka, the squad of your friend.

Design
Virobnik for the hell of a time was able to create an effective, light (1,008 kg) and practical netbook. The novelty is released in a number of color solutions, the prototype for testing the red-black version looks the most effective. Vin will become a wonderful gift for the donka, the squad of your friend.
The new Eee PC doesn't need a glossy panel, so it's more practical to make your computer more practical. Vlasnik would not have a chance to see him the other day, and he drank his fingertips. Vipukly battery troch protrudes beyond the dimensions of the case, and such a solution closes the netbook even manually trim with one hand. Another special feature of the design is the bulge at the top of the display frame, which makes it easier to open the netbook with one hand.
Display
The 10.1-inch screen of the netbook has taken into account the wide range of 1024 x 600 pixels and is of great interest to the sun with its matte finish. Why? Lightweight and compact netbooks were created in front of us for long-distance work: at a cafe, at a school classroom, on a park bench.
This means that the owner of the netbook is responsible for the comfort of an independent view of the roztashuvannya zherel light, and you can only reach it for the help of a display with a matte finish, the shine of the gloss will always be the cause of the appearance of vіdbliskіv.
Ergonomics
The keyboard and the touchpad were worthy of me. All the buttons of the main layout are divided and enlarged to be large, and the sensory field took away the relief cover, which significantly improves the tactility and looks like a work hour. At the same time, the navigation buttons of the touchpad seem to be broken with glossy ones and are quickly covered with fingertips.
The cut of the netbook is close to 180 degrees, so when you work farther away, you can easily find the required angle. On the frame of the display, two gum protectors are fixed, which will help to avoid the contact of the matrix with the keyboard, as a result of which the appearance of cracks may occur. Beyond the world of netbooks, the sound of this model is good. Every time, the built-in speakers allow you to listen to music and watch videos on YouTube without the help of an external audio system. It is also significant that the novelty supports Instant On technology, as it helps the computer to wake up from sleep mode in less than two seconds.
Productivity
At this point, the head test intrigue was attached. Yak-not-yak, the netbook is based on the Intel Cedar Trail, and before we had no chance to fiddle with attachments based on this platform.
ASUS Eee PC X101CH is equipped with an Inel Atom N2600 dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz, 1 GB of RAM (there may be more), an Intel GMA 5600 video card and a 320 GB hard drive. We couldn't run the 3DMark 06 test, but the PCMark 05 computer scored 3112 points, and the result looks richer than the lower performance of the netbooks of the previous generation. Visually, the model based on Intel Cedar Trail has become more convenient and, more importantly, it should be listed on the website's popularity.
Software security
The laptop is supplied with a licensed Windows 7 Starter operating system, we install Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, Windows Live services, and for the protection of data, Microsoft Security Essentials is a cost-free antivirus.
In addition, there is a proprietary ASUS utility, which clicks on the tab from the image arrows at the top of the display and provides secure access to web services, including ASUS WebStorage, web camera, programs, and also changes the size of symbols.
Communications
Dial zabіv zv'yazku X101CH standard for most netbooks.
There are two USB ports (one of them supports the USB 3.0 interface), a VGA port and an HDMI port, a card reader, a socket for a lace cable, and an output for connecting standard headphones.
Robot hour
Lithium-Ion 2200 mAh battery lasts only 3 years 17 minutes in text reading mode and one year less with Internet access with an upgraded Wi-Fi module.
For an ultra-light model, the result is already low, and we are left with less hope for those who, in the distribution of the novelty, can use it with a battery of increased capacity.

Noodles: Glossy touchpad buttons, short battery life;
Rating: 4.

Our laboratory has long been able to order the ASUS Eee PC 900 subnotebook, the next model after the black Eee PC 701. However, we weren’t allowed to look at this product, the chips were taken into account, appeared on the market and in our hands are the progressive modification of the Eee PC 901, which is based not on the Celeron M, but on the more economical special processor Intel Atom. However, ochіkuvannya tse overdue. Despite the fact that the Eee PC 901 is sold on the priority markets for ASUS, deliveries of this miniature laptop to Russia have not yet been made. The reason for this, perhaps, is the lack of Atom processors, with which Intel promises to come back no earlier than the rest of the month of streaming rock. To the very same, we didn’t check anymore, but to get to know the ASUS Eee PC 900 is still just like the Eee PC 901, regardless of those that the solutions are similar. Tim more, as it turned out, to supply subnotebooks based on 90-nm Celeron processors, ASUS still does not pick up. The company has announced yet another novelty, the Eee PC 904HD, which is an analogue of the nine hundredth model, which has a larger case and the security of a traditional mechanical hard drive. In other words, the light of the rest of the realities of the Eee PC 900 is destined for a long life, and to that I deserve a lot of merit for the good status, Yaku, Vlasne, we proponuєmo your respect.
Shards of ASUS Eee PC 900 is a further development of the Eee PC series of subnotebooks, which became the ancestor of the Eee PC 701, which we looked at earlier, in which case we concentrate in the first place on the features of the older model in the front. For this very reason, we recommend our readers to familiarize themselves with our looking ahead, dedicated to the first revolutionary ASUS subnotebook
Let's guess, the Eee PC 701 fired up on us with a friendly attack. The very idea of launching miniature, light and inexpensive laptops seemed like a good idea: as a gadget, the Eee PC 701 can act as a wonderful addition to a stationary computer, a traditional laptop and a smartphone. Prote report znayomstvo z asusіvskom pervіstkom line Eee PC showed th low acceptance problems. The main shortcomings are, of course, up to ergonomics. Thus, the Eee PC 701 keyboard turned out to be non-handy, especially in the Russian layout, the seven-inch screen with a 800x480 split screen is far from ideal. Also, the hardware stuffing called out to the same extent: for the robot with a high sound level, the operating system Windows XP Eee PC 701 was catastrophically missing disk memory and not catastrophically operating memory.
Z ієї pozitsії ASUS Eee PC 900 can look like a robot over pardons. A lot of problems 701 models in which representatives of the family of ASUS subnotebooks are liquidated. The new modification added up to 8.9 inches diagonally larger screens, a larger disk, Flash-memory bases, and more operational memory. Are these changes enough to make an ultra-portable mobile computer from the installed Windows XP operating system become a viable one? Itself on the basis of power and namagatimosya v_dpovisti below.
Specification
Nasampered, animal respect for the specifics of the new model. On the test, we took away the older modification of the Eee PC 900 with a 20-gigabyte hard drive, so we placed the characteristics in the table below. For clarity, in this table, the characteristics of ASUS Eee PC 4G, the older model of the front generation 701, with a seven-inch screen, are listed in order. bula we looked at earlier.
Let's add to the table that all the numbers added to the ASUS Eee PC 900 were far from free for potential buyers. In Denmark, the prices on the listings in the tables of the model vary by approximately 4.5 thousand. ruble However, the appearance of the new model did not lead to the disappearance of the old one: the Eee PC 701, and the Eee PC 900 are widely available for retail sale overnight.
Postachannya
Irrespective of those that ASUS Eee PC 900 is, one can say, a new subnotebook (otherwise, it’s fashionable to talk about similar products, a netbook in the last hour), which looks like its front, the delivery set has practically not changed: і box, і її vmіst like yourself. At the same time, the laptop comes with hardware, a software package for Xandros Linux and for Windows XP, a cover for a laptop and, of course, a life block.Until the speech, in the middle of the last set, the very block of life is meritorious for the rest of the riddle. On the right, in the fact that the modification of the subnotebook has passed, it was secured by a block, which is eaten from a plug, similar to the life blocks of mobile phones. The Eee PC 900 is a smarter block of life, more than traditional for mobile computers.
With this, not only the tightness of the block grew, but the yogo vaga, as now it becomes 150 grams. So mandrivniks, like they chose in the capacity of their companion Eee PC 900, will have to carry 100 grams more on their own, lower hobbies of the young model.
Change your calls
Well, if you don’t call on the block of life, then in a closed state, it’s practically impossible to air the ASUS Eee PC 900 like the Eee PC 701. These models are already close, as for the fineness of the vikonnanny, rosemary and ovnishnim look, and for the roses' roses. I want a new modification to become a half-centimeter larger in one world, remember not to put one laptop up to another is absolutely impossible.
So, like the Eee PC 701, Eee PC 900, you can request three USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100-megabit network port, a microphone input and output for headphones, a D-Sub socket for connecting an external monitor, and an MMC / SD card reader.
The only note in the Eee PC 900 in the front model is the opening on the body of the opening under the modem rose, which is a past modification of the Eee PC buv, but not vikoristovuvsya.
The main changes are being made under the cover: here the screen is refinished, the diagonal of which now becomes not 7, but 8.9 inches.
With this, it should be noted, the dimensions of the cover of a miniature laptop may not have changed: the dimensions of the matrices have become larger due to the change in the edging around the screen and the edges of the speakers, as in 701 models left-handed and right-handed framed the screen. Zbіlshennya rozmіrіv practically did not appear like a screen. Like in the model with a 7-inch matrix, the screen of the new 900th Eee PC may have visual characteristics that are in general consistent with the dimensions and recognition of this miniature laptop. So, the middle plus sign indicates the brightness of the lightening, as it is regulated in the arc of wide margins (navit greater, lower earlier), and at the maximum level the screen is overwhelmed by reading with a direct sony light. As far as I look around, then here, like in the front model, I can see the songs on the reverse of the image for small distances I look at the vertical plane, looking normal to the screen. It also fills the beauty of the best and the richness of the color.
Wt_m, refurbishment of small parts of the 8.9-inch matrix is unlikely to be considered critical, regardless of my seriousness. A laptop of this size, like the ASUS Eee PC 900, does not transmit any number of situations, the accuracy of the transmission of colors and colors may be true in the beginning. When working with typical office add-ons or Internet surfing, the screen should be more decent. Especially, if you take it to the respect of yogo zbіlsheni allowed, which virіs up to 1024×600. Now Windows XP (does not seem to be about Xandros Linux) looks completely organic on the ASUS Eee PC 900: more standard dialogue windows are more important on the screen without any problems. It can also be called adequate and the importance of increasing the number of websites: the separation of buildings 1024 points horizontally is considered to be minimal at the same time, as sites are optimized.
As it was noted, the larger screen was removed from the retailers of the Eee PC 900 from the inner side of the speaker cover - now the stench is in the lower part of the case and straight down. Obviously, it was negatively marked by the quality and richness of the sound they created. Vtіm, obviously, that the acoustic system of any subnotebook - that and not only "sub" - can not rule music lovers for appointments. To listen to standard notifications of the operating system, or for the sound accompanying YouTube videos on the open speakers, you can listen as a whole. So, if you look at the screen, we are guilty of stating that the ASUS Eee PC 900 sound system fully confirms the mission that relies on it.
You can say your own words at the address of the webcam, which is traditionally placed over the screen. Although її razdіlna zdatnіst іn porіvnіnі z Eee PC 701 is increased to 1.3 megapixels, the possibility of adjusting the sharpness allows you to zastosovuvat іїї only, maybe, for videoconferencing. Then, in the laptop, the microphone is now instructed from the webcam and it is much better to capture the voice of the person sitting in front of the computer, the lower microphone in the Eee PC 701, which is the mav that is placed on the bottom surface of the laptop.
We also checked that ASUS would secure their Eee PC 900 with another, handy keyboard. But nothing like this happened: the model of the ultra-portable computer ASUS was updated, it has the same stupid keyboard, like the Eee PC 701: with letter buttons of various sizes and no visible keys with the cursor. The new Russian letter "P" is re-applied on the red button in the newly created cross. The mechanical part has not changed either: when the buttons are working, it is easy to jerk, and the keyboard itself bends and creaks unacceptably.
Then serious changes to better recognize the touchpad. The new model of wines has not only become larger - it has grown to 63x37 mm, in terms of performance due to the increased screen space - a little better. The keys are now soft and handy, ale smut, the touchpad has added a multi-touch technology support (multi-touch, support for processing one-hour dots with a kilkom with your fingers). In other words, like the Apple iPhone or the MacBook Air, ASUS Eee PC 900 understands the basic typing of two-finger gestures, including scrolling, scaling and zooming the screen fragment.
Change hardware
Changes in the hardware of the ASUS Eee PC 900 in the Eee PC 701 have become not so rich. A lot of poking out solutions from a glance of the stuffing looked like the coming of the Eee PC with model number 901, based on Intel Atom. You can see the miniature computer running on absolutely the same Ultra-Low Voltage processor Celeron M 353 of the Dothan generation, which is released for the old 90-nm technology, like the Eee PC 701. The nominal frequency of this processor is 900 MHz, voltage living 0, 94 Art.
As you can see from the above screenshot, in the ASUS Eee PC 900 the processor works at its nominal parameters, and not at a lower frequency, like in the ASUS Eee PC 701. When switching live on a standalone, the frequency of the processor is reduced to 630 MHz - the value that was standard for the front modification of the Eee PC.
The multiplier of the Celeron M 353 is simply fixed at 9x, and the processor does not support the same energy-saving technologies, lower the processor frequency, and change the bus frequency from 100 to 70 MHz.
The amount of RAM in the new modification of the Eee PC is increased twice, up to 1 GB. However, with this twist, DDR2 SDRAM again does not work in a productive single-channel mode.
Dejake the increase in the throughput capacity is ensured by the increase in the memory frequency, as it is now working on the honest 400 MHz with different timings 3-3-3-8. Be sure not to forget that the SDRAM frequency must always be synchronized with the bus frequency. Therefore, when switching to battery life, if the FSB drops to 70 MHz, the memory frequency also changes to 280 MHz.
Interaction between the processor and memory is secured by the Intel 910GML system logic set, there are no exceptions for the Eee PC 701. Vidpovo, for Vyvevennya Grafi Vidpovіdovan in the pivniychi mіst tsyogo chipset intel GMA 900. Ale, uninvited for the vicoristan of one thing, eee PC 900 picnic , as vikoristovuetsya tsim graphic core and as a video memory. Tse, vrakhovuychi more razdіlnu zdatnіst screen Eee PC 900, even more.
Vtіm, ochіkuvati vіd vbudovanogo graphic core chotyrirіchnoї prescription prijyatnі for today's worlds of productivity is clearly marvelous. It's too hard to work out only to launch old, not viable to 3D-scraping games, a list of which is even more important. The main advantage of the GMA 900 in this implementation is the ability to connect to Eee PC 900 external monitors with a separate building up to 1600x1200 (it's true, you can read images in resolutions higher than 1280x1024).
Pivdenny mist chipset - ce ICH6-M. Before the yogo IDE controller, two SSD storage devices are connected, with a volume of 4 or 8, or 16 GB. You need to respect that the first of them is physically soldered on the motherboard, and the other one is soldered on the daughter board with the Mini PCI-E interface and may be replaced. For the same reason, ASUS promotes the modification of the Eee PC 900 with another disk of different volume (deposited in front of the installed operating system). Access to the SSD-card, as it plays the role of another disk, is possible through the hatch, which is on the lower surface of the case.
For this version, the cream version for SSD, there is also a SODIMM slot installed in the new memory module, which can also be replaced by more. Regardless of those that use the i910GML logic to support dual-channel memory mode, the Eee PC 900 has only one SODIMM slot. That's why the memory of a laptop is more practical than in a single-channel mode.
All the hardware stuffing is small, it doesn't fit into the Eee PC 701. Unfortunately, it means that the novelty was falling apart in front of its predecessor and there is one more shortcoming - the Bluetooth support. In this way, it is impossible to connect and modify an ASUS ultra-portable computer with stylish phones and other accessories without a USB key fob. Pochatkov's support for this droto-free interface is implemented only in the Eee PC 901 and newer models.
But the Eee PC 900, which are sold in Russia, has one more thing, it's simply impossible to get past it. Most of these subnotebooks, as, for example, and taken away by us for testing, are delivered to our country with the weakest battery with the most possible options: with a capacity of 4400 mA * year.
Even though for the Eee PC 701 such a battery can still be used for more than two years, then a new and productive modification with a large screen strongly drains through it in autonomy. If you want to supply Eee PC with such defective batteries - the world is stunned by the reports later at the factory of the company LG Chem, which won an OEM battery contract for the ASUS Eee PC, but the battery is not the real company ASUS. Not only that, laptops with the largest batteries are supplied to our market itself, but it’s also a common fact not to know the correct amount on the packaging, just like on the official website of the company, data about the battery capacity and the hour of the autonomous robot are sarcastically omitted.
testuvannya
We tested the ASUS Eee PC 900, equipped with a 16 GB hard drive. Tse means that the operating system Xandros (Linux clone) is installed on this subnotebook. This fact is certainly not the fault of potential buyers of the Eee PC, since the system has a handy graphical interface and already has about forty add-ons, including the OpenOffice office suite, the Firefox browser, media software and more. In addition, there are many programs that can be installed additionally. Program sorting for the groups "Internet", "Work", "Learn", "Play", "Settings" and "Favorites", marked with 1-inch-wide icons that appear on the screen as soon as the Eee PC is turned on. As a result, in front of Xandros, there is an impression that the system is easier to build for the development of under-researched shorthanders, lower for the greater Microsoft products.
To test the Eee PC 900, we installed the Windows XP operating system on this ultra-portable computer. Mayzhe can sing-songly talk about those that the most powerful Eee PCs can do on their own. Tim is bigger, in addition to the widening of ideas, on the Windows XP laptop that has been looked at, the antrohi is not better, the Xandros is lower, but on the optimization of Windows XP it takes one hour, then in the operating system, you can be able to switch on the real motor speed.
In front of the material, dedicated to the Eee PC 701, we have established that the productivity of the machine is enough for the typical tasks: work in office suites, Internet surfing, videoconferencing, video review and so on. Now let's look at specific numbers. To evaluate the speed of the Eee PC 900, we took the popular Futuremark PCMark05 test. Evaluation of the speed code was carried out in two modes: productive, if the processor and memory work at higher frequencies, and in power-saving mode, with lower frequencies. The rest turns on automatically when the ASUS Eee PC 900 switches to battery life. To say the least, in such a state, the productivity practically does not differ from the productivity of the Eee PC 701, which is reduced to such values of the processor frequency and memory in the normal mode.
Otrimani results show that the Eee PC 900 is a fairly balanced system behind a clear dip in graphics performance. Tim is no less, you can run a lot of old 3D programs on any laptop, let's talk about the results of 3DMark2001 SE and 3DMark03. We tested the Eee PC 900 in the same standard distribution room, 1024x600, so we decided to try to find similar indicators in the tests, like the EeePC 701, which is 800x480.
In productive mode, the EeePC 900 outperforms its opponent, regardless of the larger screen space. In this rank, we can talk about those that the EeePC 900 has become not only better than the EeePC 701, but it is more common in all of them to have a higher memory frequency and processor.
It is necessary to note what was increased in the new subnotebook and the speed of the work of the first SSD (4 GB capacity), that it was possible to change the controller, which services the flash memory chips. Tse can be seen from the tests, for example, in HD Tune.
With this another, 16-gigabyte disk, unfortunately, it has little more practical characteristics.
During the testing process, we again got stuck with strong heating of the EeePC 900 case. On the right, as in the last model, the heat rise, which is seen by the processor and the chipset components, is occupied by an aluminum plate, it is ruffled by the keyboard. For additional folding in the middle of the subnotebook, there is a small central fan that blows on the left side of the case. Tim is no less, but the surface of the keyboard and the touchpad can heat up more low up to 40 ° C. Other parts of the case with intensive operation of the laptop in the environment may have a temperature of about 35-37 degrees. As far as the internal temperature of the Eee PC 900, then, even if the readings of the sensor, it does not exceed 71 degrees, it was the merit of which the fan should turn on at the right time.
I, nasamkinets, naytsіkavіshe - vimir an hour of autonomous work. Qi tests were carried out for the maximum brightness of the screen. The webcam was installed and the wireless adapter was tested for an hour of testing. For testing, we tested the BatteryEater program, which models two typical scenarios: the standard capture and the reading of the text. Before these two tests, we added and the third one, for a long time, we vindicated an hour of autonomous work of the Eee PC for an hour to review the DivX video recorded on the built-in SSD.
Not surprisingly, the Eee PC 900 appears to be building-property on a standard 4400 mA short battery for delivery to Russia. To be honest, we did not consider such results, especially in light of the fact that the first tests of modification of the subnotebook showed a richly lower hour of autonomous work. ASUS protégénéri have defied the great robot and significantly improved the autonomy of the netbook with simple BIOS updates. So, the newest versions of the firmware began to drop the FSB frequency by 30% when switching to battery life, moreover, they had battery assignment algorithms adjusted. As a result, the operating hours of the nine hundredth Eee PC model with a battery increased to values that can no longer be called deplorable, although they are still insufficient for a full-fledged ultra-portable solution.
However, the main problem with the operation of the Eee PC 900 battery type is not an insufficient hour of operation. Better than those that in this mode the laptop works absolutely not overpowered, reminding you of the wonderful reports about the excess battery charge, which should be introduced into Oman. For example, a graph of the battery charge, prompts for information, which are prompted by the laptop when watching a DivX video file, is displayed below.
As you can see from the graph, for more than half an hour the battery shows 20-hundred extra charge. Ale, unrepentantly on the spot, continues to practice correctly until the moment when you get along without additional advance. Such behavior of the battery is an inexcusable thing for an inexpensive mobile attachment, the fragments of misinformation of a coristuvach can easily turn into a waste of life necessary information. That is why the battery of the Eee PC 900 is a product. Larger capacity batteries are available for sale except for Eee PCs, but rarely.
Visnovki
We looked at a few months ago, the first representative of the Eee PC line, equipped with a 7-inch screen, leaving a few positive impressions on its own. Inexpensive ultra-portable computer, having conquered the prettiness to itself with the very idea, having squashed the eyes on the details that are not far away. The very same nameless positive reviews about the Eee PC 701, bring arguments against those hopelessly drowning in the midst of the wild triumph of ASUS subnotebooks. Tim is no less, we are guilty of guessing that the ASUS Eee PC 701 is far from ideal: we looked around at this address with few complaints. І in this sense a new model, Eee PC 900, shows great interest, remnants of the past model, which corrects a lot of unacceptable shortcomings of the front.It is obvious that on the Eee PC 701 the role of a kind of pilot product, the main role of which was the promotional ground for the creation of a new market niche - low-cost, low-power ultra-portable laptops, was entrusted to the Eee PC 701. І z tsієyu roll that model miraculously fit. Vaughn not only won a new popularity, but also became a model for succession for the riches of other virobniks, as they took up copying the Eee PC and trying to develop it directly in their own way.
ASUS retailers have been working on the popularity of the first Eee PC model and the other. As practice has shown, low varity - the characteristic of the generation of laptops is not important. Even more recently, the price of laptops with a seven-inch screen was not guilty of overestimating 200 dollars, and as a result, it dropped from 300 to 400 dollars (at the moment, the Moscow distribution is about 9.5 thousand rubles). However, the subnotebook did not become a bestseller. That's why ASUS has been bugged, especially fooling around on the price of not varto, and it is necessary to sacrifice much functionality for the sake of visual vartost not a trace - having opened the price between the Eee PC and the outstanding "genuine" subnotebooks, in any case, get rid of the great, buy it.
The very same marketing primer led to the new Eee PC 900 model. And those that the price of that ultra-portable computer went up to 550 dollars. close to 14 thousand. rubles at the Moscow branch) - tse vzhe, vibachte, side effect. Then, the new option cannot by any means be called a victim of compromises.
As a result, the Eee PC 900 retained all the positive vigor of the model with a seven-inch screen: forward, compact, and insignificant. On top of that, the Eee PC 900 has become more productive due to the increase in processor frequency and RAM capacity and the coolness of the new 9-inch screen. Allowed the matrix to now become 1024x600, which allows you to comfortably view websites and work without problems in the Windows XP operating system. Even before the speech, the disk space was revealed, which allows you to install on the laptop not only a new operating system, but also a new set of necessary programs together with the necessary data. It is impossible not to mention one great plus of the new modification - the touchpad, which now supports two-finger gestures, which is why it has become even more difficult to replace the traditional mouse, but as a complete navigation tool.
Vtіm, all problems of Eee PC new nine'yatisot model all the same did not vyrishila. The laptop is missing the necessary upgrades for an ultra-portable Bluetooth accessory. Yogo keyboard with its layout, that yak_styu vykonanny calls out more narcisses, lower positive emotions. That regular battery with a capacity of 4400 mA * year can be called otherwise, it’s not necessary to turn it around. The Eee PC 900 is not only suitable for ultra-mobile applications in an hour of autonomous work in "important" modes, but we say that the hour of the end of the battery charge is absolutely not transferring, the staff diagnostic tools are simply misinforming.
Otzhe, open space for the Eee PC from ASUS є. Є th day of freedom for competitors of this company, yakі still can pass the ancestor of a new class of mobile products, as it seems, "on the turn". Krіm usunennya rehabilitated nedolіkіv, mi buli b radі, yakbi Eee PC adding support, for example, touch screen. Well, about those who are impatient for us to be able to try out netbooks in practice, which are based on the new Intel Atom processor, we can not stop.
In other words, the appearance of ASUS Eee PC 900 is not to put an end to yet, we continue to respectfully follow the development of this concept and indefinitely we will know you with new similar solutions, promoted by both ASUS and its competitors.

Ahead of Netbooks: ASUS Eee PC 4G Notebook Look Back
For the rest of the years, the popularity of laptops has only grown. Virobniki began mass expansion of the model, insurance of the audience. This is how gaming, media, office and just work laptops appeared.
Yet another 10 years ago, the laptop market was not so diverse. The skin model was special, and її was marked by everyone who was chasing after the construction of outbuildings. At that time, the coristuvachi gave priority to compact and autonomous models.
Tsey pristry z'yavivsya on the market in 2008 roci. At that time, yoga was announced as an innovative solution. The main yoga features were compact expansion, budgetary variability and versatility.
The characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G were not significant, but in this hour the stench would have been a good purchase. Ale 2008, the fate of such tightness I will attach to all everyday tasks. The netbook was bought as a helper by office assistants and students.
At once, marveling at the current model, Asus EEE PC 4G would be called mobile, but smart phones already took off the diagonal of 7 inches, not seeming about tablets. And let's do this rozkish, like an autonomous and compact laptop, you can afford not to have leather. For this reason, the release of a similar model for a small var- tity turned out to be the best option.
Postachannya
The Asus EEE PC 4G comes in a box with a black and white color. Everything looks more beautiful and pleasant. On the front is a photo of an Asus EEE PC 4G netbook, specifications are shown on the edge. It dawned on me that the model is focused on work, learning that game. Having written the virobnik on the box in this way.
It is also marked on the front that the operating system Windows XP is installed on the netbook. The main characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G are shown on the back of the package. The shards are compact, the box can be small, so they didn’t attach a handle for transportation to it.
By the way, by the packaging you can understand why a netbook has three letters “E” in its name. Virobnik guesses the word "easy" - "easy". You want to convey to the buyer that it is easy to build, easy to learn and easy to build.
Complete set
Ale naytsіkavіshe starts from unpacking. The visual characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G can already be improved upon opening the box. Useful, around the annex itself, є battery, life block, documentation up to the netbook. Also, the maker propagates a disk with a certificate, a license for Microsoft security software and a warranty card.
Bagato koristuvachiv marked the presence of the folder for transportation. Tse fabric pouch without handles and locks. Vіn may look like the folder is closed with Velcro. The viconanium is in black color, and the logo of the Asus company flaunts on the “tongue”.
Starry look
Description of Asus EEE PC 4G At the same time, such a model would not turn on respect: the body is too thick and, at the same time, small. Rough lines are no longer in fashion, and the presence of graphic elements makes the design unremarkable.
The body of the vicons is made of matte black plastic. In the middle there is an inscribed logo. You can also see great loops, on which two parts of the building are trimmed. The order from one of them is the series - Eee PC.
There are no rounded edgings at the hull, so the old look is more businesslike. It’s better for everything, through tse riches it’s possible that you’ll get loans for businessmen. But if someone didn’t like the color of the solution, you could get a netbook with a white case. In this fashion, the model looked more beautiful and stylish.
On the bottom of the netbook there are a few ventilation openings. In the middle there is a cover that provides access to the processor. To get to the other components of the system, it is necessary to twist the spin. Zavdyaki nіy you can easily twist the lid. The storage battery is in a small plastic roller, and it is possible to open it with an additional latch on the spring.
Case details
Before the characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G netbook, one can see the presence of various details on the case. For example, it should be noted that there is no optical drive in the annex. Vtіm, it's not surprising, the shards are small enough for the case, so it's impossible to install in the middle of the device for reading discs.
Then right-handed you can find two USB ports, a VGA socket for connecting a monitor, as well as a card reader for various formats of memory cards. From the edge of the rotting of Kensington Castle.
Livoruch є grati, through yakі z the body to go out warmer, and inside the middle it is colder to go. There is also a third port for connecting to an Internet cable. A third USB port is available, as well as two slots for a microphone and headphones.
Working surface
Just like Asus EEE PC 4G, you won't appreciate the technical characteristics of it, for which it's all the same to add attachments. Then you can look at the working area of the netbook and understand how ergonomic it is.
The keyboard occupies the most space. Vaughn vikonana z plastic, not maє ostrivnoї konstruktsії and okremy digital block. Shards of attachments are compact, it was not easy to create a resized keyboard. That decom had a chance to ring for a long time until the presence of such buttons.
The Latin alphabet here is overlaid with white colors, and the axis of the Russian layout is green. Blakitnim є functional buttons. From the edge there is a digital block, ale vin is not handy, shards of no vision. The Enter button appeared after the change.
Then, the virobnik did not forget about the functional key Fn, as in combination it can help to regulate the brightness of the screen, the richness of the sound, and the work of the wireless mesh. Usogo є 80 buttons.
The keyboard occupies two-thirds of the working area, so it's good that the touchpad is a little tight. Vіn raztashovaniya in the middle. The cream of the sensory area, having acquired a shriveling button, seems to show the work of the right and left buttons of the mouse.
There are stickers that describe the technical characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G. On the right, there are indicators of robots and various options of the system: battery charge, wireless mesh, Caps Lock, and an additional extension.
As it was supposed earlier, the keyboard occupied the entire working area. As in the usual outbuildings in the wild, where the vibrator uses the volume controls, the player buttons and the power button, then in the case of this model everything turned out differently: the power button was moved to a plastic roller, in which the battery is located. Instructed from the right loop, as if the screen is shrunk, you can find the button to lift the button.
Display
While the characteristics and features of the Asus EEE PC 4G may be on the edge of a compact expansion, the expansion of the display of large expansions is not far off. Koristuvach took off the screen with a diagonal of 7 inches. Narazi Navit tablets with similar sizes have ceased to be popular.
The display size can be divided into two options: 800 x 600 and 800 x 440 pixels. Shards at that time were only made mirror-like, they didn’t install it to the budget model. I rich in why it helped the netbook to become popular. Navit at the same time glossy screens otrimuyut a lot of negative feedback, goiter shards of koristuvach constantly rebuvat at the host and do not practice in nature.
The matte display does not pick up the glare and display. It is comfortable to work with it, so the model received positive feedback about the characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G. Nepoganim looked around and looked around.
Audio system
Obviously, it is impossible to call the dynamics of a netbook with such a rich word. If you visually joke about them, then you might think that the forager has forgotten about them, even if it’s not possible to finish them.
It was decided to place the acoustics at the cover, on which the screen was placed. It did help to protect the space in the base of the body, but it slightly stuck that ovnishnіsh look at the sound of the sound.
The speakers were placed left-handed and right-handed on the screen. The stench is visible and visually shatters the screen less. Through those that I will attach a lid that is perceptibly thin, the speakers turned out to be compact, which stuck into the sound.
But, in contrast, the sound of music and other sounds in the system is given by the sound, as it perceives the situation objectively. The sound is rich and clear.
Technical characteristics
So it has already developed, that in looking at the Asus EEE PC 4G, the characteristics and description of the add-on can be reviewed. This is why the whole series of models is called like that. In fact, it was sold once a small amount of netbooks with such a name. Deyakі from them otrimuvali songs "chips", іnshі zdavalis absolutely zvichayny office outbuildings.
The Asus EEE PC 4G 701 version became the most budgetary one. The characteristics of the model as a whole were left the same, but the netbook and the low brown options.
Processor in the system
This version was based on the Mobile Intel Celeron M processor. This chip operated at a frequency of 900 MHz. All models of the Eee PC series were run on the same processor. All chips had a cache memory of another equal, with a total of 512 Kb. Also, for all devices, the 910GML chipset from Intel was installed.
Netbook memory
Operational memory could change in the fallow period in the form of modifications. Characteristics of Asus EEE PC 4G 701 transferred the presence of DDR2 type RAM modules with a frequency of 400 MHz and a volume of 512 MB. In other models, it is possible to increase the RAM by 1 and 2 GB.
Also, the middle of the pratsyuvav zhorstky disk. First of all, those who have beaten victories are not the classic HDD, but the newfangled SSD. At that time, it was good for innovations and significantly added to the overall productivity of the outbuilding.
I would like to say that the internal memory was less than 4 GB, which today is absolutely unrealistic. New versions of 8 GB at a time are absolutely unrealistic. Tim is no less, at that hour he was an indestructible show-off, but a statement about those that you can “easily play” with this model of a koristuvach is given up as an advertising move. Vtіm, not zabuvatimemo, scho іgri todі were not so “important”.
Yak already guessed earlier, on the right side of the card reader. Yogo osoblivіst have to, scho vin buv module 3-1. Vіn pratsyuvav іz usіma flash cards, yakі pіdtremuvali Secure Digital.
Other characteristics
Guess how the system worked in pair with a graphics adapter. Integrated video card Intel GMA 900 with 64 MB of memory. The adapter allows you to connect a third-party monitor to a netbook, as well as switch between 800 x 600 and 1600 x 1280 pixels.
Let's keep looking. The Asus EEE PC 4G has poor display specs. As it seemed, the display had taken off a diagonal of 7 inches. Built-in LCD matrix. Standard building size can be 800 x 600 or 800 x 480 pixels. For road modifications, the situation does not change.
The integrated sound system from Realtek was praised for the sound. Those who have pressed two speakers at once, are a wonderful bonus.
Merezhev technologies
To work on the Internet, it was necessary to equip the Asus EEE PC 4G with mesh technologies. Virobnik installed a mesh card, as if he was working on a new controller. Also a dartless adapter. Vіn coping with your own tasks, even if you have a gallovuvav and zavantazhennya storіk browser. It is necessary to place an adapter on the board for access to the new standard wireless meshes.
For road modifications, you can find adapters that work on 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
Multimedia facilities
It is important to call a netbook a multimedia add-on, shards of equipment with simple components. Even rarely, buyers looked at it as if they were watching a video of listening to music. Ale zavdyaki two speakers became possible to enjoy the sound of beloved songs.
There is also a built-in microphone, the opening of which can be found on the upper frame of the display. You can also click on the webcam here. Won can be 0.3 megapixels. Vrahovyuchi those that are equipped with 5-8 megapixel camera modules, this ostentation is even deplorable. Ale, at that hour, navit yogo was dialed for calls from Skype.
testuvannya
To help you understand everything about productivity, you can not only hear about the characteristics of the Asus EEE PC 4G netbook, but test results. Regardless of the viability of the netbook market in 2008, it was easy to know the competitors in the model, what to look around for. For example, the Asus UMPC R2E laptop became indestructible at that time.
The difference in the hard disk and the greater amount of memory, at that hour, the processor and the graphics adapter are practically not disturbed by anything. In order for the test to be fair, another netbook model was taken from the resource-based Vista operating system.
The performance test, however, hits those that are not so easy to come by with the Asus EEE PC 4G. The netbook, unequivocally, is less expensive for office work and training. It is even more difficult to cope with other tasks. Yogo productivity is even low.
The video system also did not show high results and was weak for the chipset. Video card can't handle 3D. Therefore, in general, the system is running out of operational memory and the processor at an acceptable frequency.
For disk subsystems, I will add a 4 GB solid-state storage device. It’s not enough to talk about the virobnik, but the analysis of the components. Pratsyuє SSD like a year old. Takes less than 4% of the CPU.
