The hottest mobile products of the moment? Undoubtedly, Apple'sMacBook Air and Asus' Eee PC. So how do these would-be pinnacles ofultra-portability compare?
Let's take a look at the features each machine offers:
There's no doubt, on the basis of the specs, the Air has the Eeelicked on performance, usability, wireless capability and screen space.However, the Eee takes the lead on expandability - the range and typeof connectors it offers, basically - and sheer portability.
Given the way battery life claims usually map onto real-world experience, we reckon they're much the same.
MacBook Air and friend...
...Eee PC and pal
Eee or Air - which would you clasp to your bosom?
When it comes to looks, the Air steals the show, but what steers thefinal verdict in the Eee's favour are the little things that Apple hasgot wrong - non-replaceable battery, too few ports - and Asus has gotright: primarily, the price.
Yes, you can buy five Eees for the price of one Air, andthat combined with its lower weight, smaller size, better networkingand more ports gives it the edge over the air's bigger screen, largerkeyboard, higher speed and greater storage capacity.
Will a hands-on with the Air change our mind? We accept that's a possibility. But for now, Asus retains the lead.
