ASUS Eee PC 900 now available

We knew it was due today, and what do you know: ASUS is busting out its new 8.9-inch Eee PC 900 right on schedule. So far ZipZoomfly is selling the XP version for $600, while Buy.com is offering up the Linux edition for $566. We're not sure what happened to those other resellers, or where that $550 pricepoint went, but we're sure we'll be seeing both before long -- which means it might be wise to hold off for just a tad bit longer, unless you really can't wait for sweet, sweet subnotebook embrace.

If this new EeePC 900 come with a 4400mAh battery instead of a 5800mAh, people will start complaining.

Japan will get this about the same time as the US gets all of the cool electronic toys that are only available in Japan...

Who's gonna wait to see what Dell's got for us?

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 5:42PM]

No one. Dell is a follower, not a market leader and they missed the ultraportable angle this year. TOTALLY caught off guard. They don't deserve our money; not in this product category, at least.

E-tailers are price gouging now.

[ran Posted May 12th 2008 1:26PM]

This looks nice!

[Hydra Posted May 12th 2008 1:34PM]

I have been trying to wait for the atom, but i bet by the time the Eee ships with atom, it will be at the $800.00 price point. So i guess my best choice is the linux version. You would be a fool to buy it with xp and get less harddrive space. I am sure everyone has an xp copy laying around

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 2:49PM]

Or it could be cheaper. The actual chip isn't expensive. That's sort of the whole point.

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 5:07PM]

I have no copy of XP lying around.

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 1:47PM]

Does anyone know if it will be available in Galaxy Black? Because Amazon.com only has Pearl White... I also noticed that with the 8G I rarely found a black one for sale. ???

[(Unverified) Posted May 14th 2008 1:21PM]

why the obsession here with the Atom processor. Power consumption will be lower, but won't performance drop too? Or am I wrong?

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 2:27PM]

$399 for the linux version or no buy
im sure they'll get by without me

[(Unverified) Posted May 12th 2008 3:10PM]

I really want to wait and see what Dell comes out with but they're really dumb for not releasing any specs before the Eee 900 could hit the shelves. They deserve to lost the sales.

[blender45 Posted May 12th 2008 4:16PM]

zipzoomfly is 549 for the xp version.

[frz1 Posted May 12th 2008 4:34PM]

I'd definitely buy if this was a tablet pc for that $600 with the same specs.
