Need recommendation between 900 vs 901

Is 901 better than its ancestor 900?

Is the "Atom" cpu faster, but utilize much more power?
any other obvious advantage?

What about the multi touch in-sensitive problem?

剛好相反，901 用左 Atom 慢少少，用少D電，電量又多左，最後變左電池使用時間差不多一倍。
內置藍牙及可 dialup.

Thanks!

Is it slighty or obviously slower?

I will need it to run excel and matlab.

I found a comment on web which is quite confusing "The most important change is the move to an Intel N270 Atom CPU, clocked at 1.6GHz — an improvement over the 900MHz Intel Pentium M on the 900." http://www.zdnet.com.au/reviews/hardware/laptops/soa/Asus-EeePC-901/0,2000065761,339290002,00.htm

Was the slowing down a result of clocking at 800 rather than 1.6G?

Also, I'm considering to use PCCW Everywhere for streaming live financial data.

I notice that PCCW is promoting a 900 with PCCWEverywhere package, which 900= $3288, and $2000 will be returned in 24month contract time.

But if 901 is better than 900, I would rather buy 901 myself and not go for the discount package.



It's said that 901's battery can go for 4.5-8hrs, what about 900, 2-3hrs at most?

If the pc is streaming data all the time, would power consumption went up significantly? which mean, unlikely to reach 8 hrs?

8個鐘連續上網串流？ TZ大電都唔得啦！！

我認為你要買多兩粒原廠電

...strreaming data consume a lot power? so...streaming all the time can only last for 8/3...2.5-3hrs?

By the way, it's not necessary to streaming all the way in 8 hrs. Just want to know how capable is 900/901

Just want to know if streaming data plus some excel processing and web browsing, and occasionally matlab, could a 900/901 handle these? How is the single and multi tasking performance of 900/901 on these?

So, beside bluetooth, dialup, CPU and battery, a little bit slower (or faster? )smoother case, 200g heavier, any more difference?
