Little giant
The minuscule Asus Eee 900 is ideal for toting around campus and stashing in an equally miniscule dorm room. Weighing less than a kilogram, it boasts an 8.9-inch-wide screen, 20 GB of storage, an embedded 1.3MP webcam, quick 15-second boot-up and a price tag that won’t break the bank. Though it’s not powerful enough to run the latest Grand Theft Auto, it’s good enough for Web surfing and essay writing.
