Purposefully underclocking a processor sits at odds with the usual computing race for speed, but the lithe Atom does a great job of flicking between throttled-back and overclocked so that it no longer feels like a compromise. While we were expecting the faster CPU to muddy the waters in terms of differentiating the 901 from a 'normal' notebook, what it's actually managed to do is make a convincing case for a usable ultraportable with serious longevity. Perhaps that's nitpicking, and it's true to say that we were more impressed with the Eee 901 than we expected to be. WiFi and Bluetooth therefore share an indicator, making differentiation tricky. Bluetooth is onboard too, but switching the wireless options on and off is made more complicated than it really need be the F2 button handles that, but while ASUS moved the status LEDs so that they wouldn't be blocked by a wrist, they didn't actually add in any more. The original 1.3-megapixel webcam is joined by a new dual-microphone array (the 900 had a single mic), and the draft-n WiFi offers all the bandwidth you need. Go to OS Installation setting and change to Start (After the Windows install remember to come back and set this to finished) Arrow over to the Boot Tab and set your 1st boot device to the new CDROM.

I also bought another unit for my girlfriend. i love the Asus Eee PC, it is very light, cheap and portable.

Thankfully, considering ASUS pre-configure one of the two shortcut buttons (the other is the Super Performance toggle) to Skype, the 901 is a happy camper when it comes to video conferencing. The Install Process: Turn on the unit and press F2 during boot up. It’s ASUS EEE 901, and it was chosen for good time on battery, low weight and all the communications available (including bluetooth).
