It is not the 990A. It was a sort of an impulse purchase, I’d seen it in their circular and just had to try it out. I’m not sorry – it’s really a surprisingly capable machine. My biggest complaint is the poor battery life – about 2 hrs with the wifi on.

Why buy your child Barbies or action figures when you can increase their productivity.

Looks like we should be able to pick up a netbook just about anywhere.

Also, it does not come with a Webcam. I had not problem installing regular XP Pro without using nLite, all the XP drivers are available on the ASUS site. The 4GB SSD seems to be comparable to the one on my 701, so not super fast but OK for the price.

The Best Buy specs page just says “Lithium ion” … Is this a 3-cell or a 6-cell? I’m guessing the 3…

You had better start a blog of usable excuses for buying stuff we just don’t need. I know I am not the first to suggest this – nor to blame you for spending money!!!

This BBuy version of the 900A does not come with a webcam.
