ASUS Introduces One Day Computing

The Holy Grail of mobile computing has always been long battery life. No matter how fast, powerful, or stylish computers become, until now they were useless after more than a few hours of use. Which undermined the whole purpose of mobile computing.

Today, you have another choice. ASUS’ Eee PC 901, Eee PC 901 XP, Eee PC 1000, and Eee PC 1000H all feature from 6 to 7.8 hours of battery life for full day, unplugged computing. Now travelers will be able to work on intercontinental flights. Business people will be able to visit their accounts all day. And hikers will be able to use stay connected to their digital world longer.

The Secret of Long Life
What allows these products to operate so incredibly long is ASUS’ unique combination of an ASUS’ Superhybrid engine (which allows users to toggle between power modes), a solid state drive, a superior 6 cell battery, and Intel’s energy-efficient Atom processor. Together these components deliver a product that redefines long life

Super Hybrid Engine
ASUS’ Super Hybrid Engine toggles between three modes that automatically adjust CPU frequency, voltage, and LCD brightness to minimize system noise and power consumption or maximize system performance according to your needs.
- Super Performance Mode (Maximum performance)
- High Performance Mode (High performance with some power savings)
- Power Saving Mode (Maximum power savings and minimum noise)

When it comes time for you to purchase a new mobile computer, think about what you could do with up to 7.8 hours of unplugged freedom.
