MANILA, Philippines—With the sudden surge of interest in netbooks—portable and light laptops—in the market geared towards professionals and students on the go, Asus ups the ante with the introduction of the new Eee PC 900. Sleek, stylish and above all, functional, Asus’ Eee PC continues to pave the way for the global netbook revolution.

Mobility is one of the major factors attributed to the Eee PC’s success; and this is due to the use of the built-in Solid State Disk (SSD) technology—which offers a quiet, energy saving and shock proof design for stable computing on-the-go. Traditional hard disks spin at 5400 RPM (Revolutions per Minute)—making them more prone to data loss or damage if shocks or bumps are encountered. The Eee PC is able to protect against such incidents, and is perfect for outdoor activities—suitable as an ideal companion for reporters, wildlife photographers and other like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. “Vital feedbacks have been received, which has spurred us on to create more options to cater to different user requirements,” said Leon Yu, country manager, ASUS Technology Philippines.

The new Eee PC 900 has 8.9” display screen and remains to weigh below 1kg—making it easy for children and women to carry it around; and maintains the ultra portable theme that has become synonymous with the Eee PC. With this large screen size of 8.9”, a resolution of 1024 x 600 is achieved—allowing users to view a single A4 page without the need to scroll left or right and making it much easier and more effective when reading or working on documents.

The new Eee PC will also incorporate an innovative FingerGlide feature that makes operating the Eee PC easy and convenient. For example, with just two simple finger movements on the touchpad, users will be able to zoom in and out of pictures (great for looking at image details), or scroll up and down for easier document viewing—making the Eee PC 900 more convenient to use.

“Since it is lightweight, users can place the Eee PC on their laps or hold them in their hands during use. With the addition of the FingerGlide feature, users will find it even more convenient to use the Eee PC,” commented Leon Yu.

Furthermore, the Eee PC 900 comes with 1.3M Pixel webcam with wireless Internet connection capabilities for web conferences anywhere, anytime for easier communications and increased work efficiency.
