Date: 2014-06-23 12:52 am (UTC)I have a much loved Eee 901, which I am going to mourn greatly when it dies. It really is a lovely form factor, and sticking 2G RAM and Lubuntu on it makes it even better.
When someone was selling Eee 900s very cheaply, I got one as a spare and it's almost as new, but it's noticeably poorer - the keyboard isn't as good (it's easy to mis the od leter out on it), I know the battery life is much worse (I've never bothered to charge it), and it runs hotter. It's also got Lubuntu, but I didn't bother with the RAM in the expectation that if I did end up using it more, I'd move the stick of RAM from the 901 into it.
There are alternatives from that era Samsung called theirs the NC10, I think, but the issue is going to be battery life unless you factor in getting a new genuine one, and I suspect those are now in short supply.
