Asus has really outdone themselves this time. The new clam shells look so much sleeker and comes in various flavors sporting different graphic-designs on their covers. But thats not even the main highlight. The new mini-laptops of course are using Intel’s Atom processor and have 3 operational modes: Power Saving, High Performance and Super Hi Performance. Thats a runtime of 3.5 to 7.8 hours!
Battery life is dependent on the model of Eee PC. For instance the 1000H model utilizes an 80GB hard disk, which gives it the shortest battery life of 3.2 to 7 hours depending on the power-mode. The 901 model has the longest endurance of 4.2 to 7.8 hours owed to its smaller 8.9″ screen and 12GB SSD. All these models feature 6 cell batteries. (more…)
