In dem Vergleichstest sind gleich sechs Geräte dabei: Acer Aspire One, Asus Eee-PC 900 und Eee-PC 901, Medion Akoya, MSI Wind und das Netbook von One. Die Preise reichen dabei von rund 270 Euro bis 400 Euro. Neben dem Test gehen wir auch darauf ein, worauf beim Kauf geachtet werden soll und beleuchten die Vorteile der kleinen Geräte.

Some other thing, because new things keep popping up in my mind; the reviewer has not compared the write speed on the hard drive models with the SSD models, because then he would have concluded that SSD writing is 2-3 times slower, which is a major issue for many people.

As for the 8 hours run time of the Asus 901; impossible. Under normal use it will use about 4-5 hours, this is confirmed in many reviews. If the reviewer reached 8 hours, then he probably compared apples with oranges, like Linux vs XP, wifi on vs wifi off, different processes in background, different brightness levels, bluetooth on/off, etc.

I also want to mention that the Asus 901 is now more expensive than the Wind, which makes upgrading the battery of the wind to a 6 cell less of an issue. What the reviewer also didn't notice is that the Medio and MSI are basically the same machine...

Unfair result. The Wind might have a shorter run time, it's still comparable to larger laptops. Also with 50% brightness and 50% power mode (still very good to work with), you easily reach 3-4 hours. Also remember that you do get a 80GB hard drive, a major pro for many users, as is the 10" screen (bigger than 901 asus) and excellent keyboard, none of it that was noticed by the reviewer.
