9-inch Asus Eee PC

My only gripe about the original Asus Eee PC is the ugly black bezel surrounding its LCD screen. The laptop is already so small, adding a black bezel around the LCD screen makes it even smaller and very hard to read from.

Thankfuly, they have announced an updated version of the tiny laptop which gets rid of the offensive bezel. It's got a 9 inch screen and a 1024 x 600 resolution according to Asus. Not too bad at all, if you ask me.

Engadget has a snapshot gallery of the glorious 9 inch Asus Eee PC screen. It looks so pretty, I'm almost tempted to get one even though I wouldn't have any use for it.

Here's another gallery of pics comparing the 7 incher to the 9 incher Eee. I really think the 9 inch Eee looks a whole lot better than it's 7 inch counterpart. It's a wee bit bigger but who cares? It's still a tiny laptop anyway.

All About the Asus Eee PC

The Asus Eee PC is finally here. For those who have been living under a rock, the Asus Eee PC is a mini-laptop of sorts which runs Windows XP or Linux. It's got a barebones system with only a 900Mhz processor, 512MB of RAM and 4 GB of flash disk space. But what makes the Eee so appealing is it's price. At barely $400, you get a light and ultraportable laptop with almost decent specs. For those looking for a backup laptop, this one just might fit your requirements.
