As I said previously, I am thinking of getting a laptop but not now. However, I have shrunk my selections to two and you will be surprised because of the differences in price and they are two totally different laptops. Well, the first choice is Asus EEE PC900 and the second choice is Apple Macbook.

You may have known Asus EEE PC900 costs about £330 while Apple Macbook is £799. It means that buying a Macbook equals to buying two Asus EEE PC900.

Anyway, I will be talking about Asus EEE PC900 now because it is coming this mid-May. It has a 9” screen and with the choice of 12GB and 20GB SSD hard drive. However, the price for both 12GB and 20GB is the same because the 12GB comes with Windows XP while the 20GB comes with Linux. If I were to buy Asus EEE PC900, I will buy the 20GB one because I can install Windows XP myself.

Needless to say, the portability and weight of less than 1kg are the greatest advantage but the hard drive space is not really suitable for me. It comes with 1.3megapixel webcam, SD card reader, vga-out, LAN and WiFi. It is cheap though. Well, hopefully by the time I really want to buy a laptop, there will be a model with bigger hard drive and better battery life.
