Eee is now over 900(0)!
Eee PC released awhile back as a hot new flash-based ultra-portable. I thought it was pretty slick but not quite ready for my tastes.
Enter the Eee 900. It's pretty much the same machine with the processor uncapped and a larger screen. It's also about $150 extra. Is it worth it?! Hell yeah, hot damn!
The extra screen space makes it a lot more visible and doesn't waste the available room like the last model. What is very important to me is the fact that the processor speed bump that enabled 1080p playback within Windows. Previously, HD video was choppy. I'm guessing since the graphics processor integrated that hardware-acceleration plays only a small part in helping the process. It gives me hope that I don't have to re-encode my anime to watch it on the go.
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this machine, and my wallet and if everything goes well I might have one of these when I return to campus in the Fall.
