EEEPC 900 is slightly bigger

a better pouch but IMO easy to get dirty

behind

no more phonejack

same 2 USB port and SDHC slot on the left

touch pad is bigger, and it supports multi-touch

EEEPC 900 has bigger screen and 1.3mp webcam

EEEPC 900 using 4400mAh battery, where EEEPC 701 using 5200mAh battery, but good thing is all EEEPC 900 user are entitled for free battery upgrade to 5800mAh

another comparison

power adapter, EEEPC 900 is using different type of power adapter. EEEPC 900 cannot use the old type of power adapter

16GB SSD on the mini pci slot
