Product Review

We have tried and tested this product. Heres our thoughts

T-Mobile also have the Eee PC 904HD which is Asus's latest attempt to refine the concept of the 'netbook' design the company has championed since the launch of the original Eee PC 701 in 2007. The 904HD uses the same larger case as the 1000 series, which means the keyboard is more comfortable than the earlier 900's and 901's. However, it uses the same 8.9in screen, surrounded by a thick bezel and a pair of speakers, which for some, makes the display look too small.

Weight wise, it comes up at 1.4kg which is still light enough to carry around. The 80GB hard disk is welcome for those who want to store lots of files on their Eee PC without resorting to external storage. However, this contributes to a shorter battery life compared to an SSD. At nearly five hours, the 904HD will outlast many laptops.

For performance, the 904HD's Intel Celeron M processor runs at a slower clock speed than the Atom and doesn't use HyperThreading, Intel's virtual dual-core technology. However, it performs significantly better than previous models. The Eee PC 904HD hard disk shows that hard disks can give better performance than low-capacity SSDs. The 904HD also compares well with other Atom-based models such as the MSI Wind and the Advent 4211. Office applications run fine, and we saw smooth full-screen playback of BBC iPlayer High Definition content.

The screen resolution varies. Colours lack impact and there's some banding and uneven brightness when viewing solid colours. On a positive, viewing angles are good and the matt finish reduces reflections from lights and sunlight. Overall the display is suitable for most uses, including watching video.

The keyboard, using the full width, improves greatly on the cramped keyboards of the earlier 900-series machines. However we found some small flex in the centre of the board. The touch pad is wide and accurate, except for the tap function for clicking, which could be more sensitive.

The 904HD strikes a good balance compared to other free laptops, by including a decent-sized hard disk, a comfortable keyboard and respectable battery life. The screen isn't as good as some others and there are still issues with the keyboard and touch pad.

How much does a Laptop Dongle Deal cost?

Each network operator that offers a Mobile Broadband data network for your dongle, and free laptop will have set tariffs based on allowance and tenure. Most laptop dongle deals range from 3GB to 10GB worth of download allowance. There is no better time to look for a laptop dongle deal thanks to all the major uk networks that are offering attractive propostions to sign you up. Its important to remember, that whichever network operator you choose for your laptop and dongle you review the terms that are likely to apply when looking at prices for usage over the allowance.

Unlimited WiFi Options from O2

All O2 laptop dongle tariffs will also include Unlimited Wi-Fi quite simply thats high speed access via 6100 Cloud hotspots in cities and towns across the UK. Wi-Fi generally provides the fastest connection and best possible customer experience.

From early 2009, O2 has been expanding its coverage for Broadband Dongles by adding Unlimited Wi-Fi usage at BT Openzone hotspots, thats around another 3,000 hotspots to the 6000 they already operate a data service through. This means you will be able to access the internet in 3000 more places if needed.

Wi-Fi data usage is not deducted from the Mobile Broadband allowance (minimum contract required), so you should be encouraged to use it as much as possible to avoid any extra data charges on your bill.

As with everything, check the operators current terms, as Excessive usage applies to Unlimited Wi-Fi

Dongle Costs when abroad

Your monthly fee you agreed when your took out your laptop dongle deal will not increase if you move abroad, or take your laptop and dongle with you, however you should understand the reason why. That is your tariff will not include data usage abroad and will charge you a fixed fee per MB of downloads.

Before you go abroad with your laptop dongle deal, you should contact the operator and apply a data bolt on that covers usage when abroad. The operators customer service advisor will be able to advise you on cost, usage and connection instructions on the same call. Typically, the data abroad bolt on will provide a high amount of usage, for a fixed fee, and will prevent your laptop dongle costing you serious money.

Laptop Warranties

As with all products sold over the internet, you are covered by distance selling regs. This means you have a 14 day period in which to decide to keep the laptop. If a fault occurs during this time, it will be replaced with a new model. This rule applies for 28 days, after which, the laptop or dongle will be repaired under the manufacturers warranty, at no cost to yourself. If damage is outside of a fault, ie, you drop the laptop, then its unlikely this will be covered under the laptop warranty.

Taking out insurance at the point of sale is another way to protect your laptop and dongle deal. For a small monthly fee, additional damage like accidents, loss and theft will be covered, and ensure you continue to benefit from your great laptop dongle deal. Again, you should check the terms of any insurance policy on receipt
