Fw: UK ASUS Eee 900s come with stunted battery, longer warranty

Filed under: LaptopsSo according to El Reg, it turns out ASUS is
selling its Eee 900 laptops in the UK with 4400mAh batteries -- quite a
bit smaller than the 5800mAh batteries that come in the US version.
It's insult to injury when you consider that the larger screen
necessarily sucks down more juice than on the 700 series, but ASUS
explains that overseas users get a tradeoff in exchange: UK warranties
last two years, supposedly longer than their US counterparts (although
to be fair, we've heard of retailers listing the US Eee's warranty at
two years as well). Caveat emptor, and all that. Read | Permalink |
