Best Mini Laptop I have found I bought an Asus 901 and an Asus 904 because my existing laptop, although great, is just too heavy for me to carry around all day at the courthouses. This review is for the 904, with a 160 GB Hard drive, Windows XP Home, 1 GB RAM, and 1.6 GH processor. I have had the 904 for 2 weeks now and am thrilled by it. Boots fast (1 minute 45 seconds) and only weighs 3 pounds 1 ounce (according to my postage meter scale). This is less than half the weight of my old laptop. The 904 has a VGA output port, which allows me to use a bigger monitor or TV if I do not want to use the 8.9 inch display in the unit itself. Surfing the Internet and getting my email on the go is no problem for this 904. Unit appears sturdy and is very quiet in operation. Has a built in web cam for video conferences and 2 speakers tucked under the front edge. Has 2 mics at the bottom of the screen display. If you listen to music a lot I would not recommend this laptop or netbook unless you are willing and able to install external speakers (an external mic and headphone jack is built in). Best battery life I have gotten so far is 5 hours, but I do not use power saving mode so you may do better. This is a 12 volt model which in theory means with the right adapter you could run it off the cigarette lighter in your car (thus far I have just used it off battery and the included AC adapter). Has 3 USB ports. At $350, I believe I got a great bargain. Keyboard is not full size, but not mini either. Sort of in the middle, but I have big hands and it works for me. An additional option would be to buy a portable (folding) full size key board and just run it off the USB port. Very happy. 5 stars


Great little computer! I've had my 904HA for about 2 weeks now (I'm typing this review on it). It's my first netbook/laptop, although I am the default techie for my wife's compaq laptop and have used the office laptops periodically. I must say that I am more than happy. I get about 6 hours battery life surfing the net or playing games with the wifi on (brightness at about 75%). I've been able to put a "virtual drive" which allows me to run some old games I have, and I've copied over all the MP3s from my MP3 player to have on the road with me. The only negative I can report is the oddly placed right shift key, but I really haven't noticed this to be much of an issue (I tend to shift with my left hand 99% of the time anyway). Since I received the 904HA, I have only used my desktop computer one or two times. Eric


Super fast and easy to use, great little computer!! ;>) I purchased this from Amazon.com, shipped on monday, received on wednesday, free shipping, how good is that ;>)) I like a couple of others here initially ordered the 900 model and quickly cancelled it and chose the 904HA, mainly because of battery life and also the larger keyboard, my fingers are not small ;>) First, let me say everything you are reading about this little, no, tiny computer is true, I am amazed at how fast XP loads up, boom, XP is loaded. Don't worry about not having a CDROM drive, if you have a desktop or notebook and a wireless network, just make that drive shared, right click on the other computers CD/DVD drive and click on SHARE. You may have to shut down your firewire in IE or McAfee or what ever you are using for security software but after that it's easy. I am loading a program from my desktop to "tiny" right now as we speak, couldn't be easier. The keyboard is really nice, a little larger than the 900 model and so my large fingers are able to type pretty easily. The screen is bright and I'll go to Netflix tomorrow and watch a few movies on the battery to see what kind of battery life I get, I anticipate about 5+ hours though, pretty nice. I highly recommend this "tiny" notebook, easy to carry, looks great (I have the black glossy model) and is really a fast computer. For the price, you won't be disappointed! UPDATE 12-02-08 I watched a couple of movies via Netflix and the battery life was right at 5 hours. This is with the screen about 75% and volume about 40%, the wireless was left on to view the downloaded movies, otherwise, if the wireless is turned off, the battery life would be probably 20% longer life. The battery warning light came on after about 5 hours and showed to have about 20 minutes left. I would imagine you could realistically get close to 6 hours battery life with the screen down to say 50%, wireless turned off and working on spreadsheets, documents, etc., even emails and other things on the web.
