Asus Adds 3G HSDPA to Eee 901

By Nick Mokey September 25, 2008

The killer portable feature that many pundits felt the original Asus Eee was lacking – 3G Internet access – will finally be appearing in a new version of the machine this fall. Asus announced the inclusion of what it’s calling a “3.75G” radio in the Eee 901 on Wednesday.

According to Asus, notebooks equipped with the feature should be able to achieve download speeds of 7.2 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 Mbps, depending on which cell carrier’s network they’re on. To complement the speed boost and further push the Eee 901 as a true road warrior’s machine, Asus has also upped battery life in the newest version to a maximum of 7.5 hours.

Although Asus has announced that the Asus Eee 901 with 3G will debut in October, a price for the new machine has not yet been set.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 hands-on review: A gaming laptop with its own light show

Asus came roaring into CES 2020 with a list of products so long, I still can’t remember more than half of them. Yet there was one laptop that absolutely stood out from the rest. The ROG Zephyrus G14.

I simply couldn’t miss it. No one could. The laptop’s “AniMe Matrix LED,” questionable name aside, is a jaw-dropping bonus feature that I absolutely didn’t expect to see.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place
