9. Asus Eee PC 901 (Windows XP)
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: Much-improved battery life; new mouse and quick-launch buttons; still highly portable and reasonably priced.
The bad: New Atom CPU is slower than previous Celeron Eee PC, slightly bigger than the Eee 900; price is creeping up to the full-size laptop range.
The bottom line: The long-awaited Asus Eee PC 901 is the best version of this inexpensive Netbook yet, but it's facing increased competition from the likes of HP, Dell, and MSI.
