CUSTOMER REVIEW:
the following is my own opinion on why i picked the Eee 900HA over these other commonly compared products:
ASUS Eee 900HA vs. Eee900A vs. Eee904HA vs. Acer Aspire One
Same across all 4 products:
Screen: 8.9" 1024x600'
CPu: Intel Atom 1.6GHz
RAM: 1GB
OS: Windows XP Home (I got SP3 with it)
Connectors: VGA (D-SUB)x1, USB2.0 x3, Ethernet x1, SD Card Reader, headphone and mic.
Hard Drive:
Eee900HA: 160GB HDD
Eee900A: 20GB SSD
Eee904HA: 160GB HDD
Acer A1: 120GB HDD
Analysis: the Eee900HA and 904HA wins by having bigger hard drives. while Eee900A wins by having solid state drive which is more shock resistant and provides a longer battery life. and the Acer Aspire One is the least appealing in this category
Battery Life:
Eee900HA: 4 cell, 5-hour officially rated
Eee900A: 4 cell, 7 to 8 hours (from a friend)
Eee904HA: 6 cell, 7-8 hours (approx)
Aspire One: 4 cell, 3-4 hours (from salesperson at a local electronic store)
Analysis: The Eee 900A and the 904HA wins with longest battery life, but they both suffer from a side effect. the Eee900A has a really small hard drive, which makes it hard to act as a real laptop. the Eee904HA results bigger in size to fit the bigger battery. in fact, the size of the 904HA is the same as the size of the Eee1000HA, which has the same spec except a 10" screen (clearly more expensive). The Eee900HA and the Acer Aspire One should have approximately the same battery life since the official rating is with everything turned off.
the ultimate deecision:
If you just want a portable internet/working device and not an actual laptop, go for the Eee900A
if you really need a long battery life, skip 904HA and get the Eee1000HA.
if you need a laptop and the ultra portability but can find a plug at most places you go (like me), go for the Eee900HA(like me)
