Asus eee 900 uses THE SAME preocessor as 700 series.
In 700 series processor was Downclocked to about 600 Mhz
and Now it is running at full speed of 900 Mhz i eee 900 series.
Since it now consumes more battery power, you will get LESS
working time then with 700 series.

I miss Touchscreen and Bluetooth integrated in the device
and I definately don`t like loosing my guarantee for adding it myself (if it could be done). Also, I need modem integrated in machine.

For that price, they could add touchscreen and Bluetooth themselves..

It is the same machine like 700 basically, expect a bit bigger screen, bigger keyboard, bigger case and weigth and bigger 20Gig Linux and 12Gig Windows disks
(separeted in 4G+16 and 4G+8 chunks in respected versions)
Since it passed much time since eee introduction, they could sell it for the same
price like original eee, not for more..

You fools. Do a little resarch. It’s 549 in the US price. Its slightly cheaper in HK by $50. If you cant wait then get one off ebay for $50-100 markup. Only glitch is that there is chinese characters on the keyboard. The rest you can reinstall.

Isn’t the 8G selling for like $499? With the improved processor, screen size, and trackpad, this new Asus will probably be priced in the 600 range. I think Asus should focus on what made the 701 such a great machine – portability, speed, and the great programs. I am interested on what apps will be included in the new 900, go penguin racer!

The HP 2133 Mini-Note will feature a 1.2 GHz VIA C7 processor, 8.9-in. WXGA screen, 802.11 Wi-Fi, plus the Bluetooth option. The machines comes with an aluminum case and is 6.5-inches wide and 10 inches long. Its weight is said to be around two and one-half pounds.

“Education shouldn’t end at the bell,” said Jeri Callaway, vice president and general manager, Personal Systems Group – Americas, HP. “HP believes providing each student with an affordable, creative multimedia tool like the HP Mini will better prepare them to live, learn and work in an information-rich society.”

The company state that it also plans to launch a 2133 Mini-Note packed with Windows Vista Business. As expected, this model will be more expensive: $599.

At present time all eyes are on Dell, who is expected to come up with a similar announcement. Still, one question remains: isn’t $499 a bit too much for a notebook targeted at this specific market?

The $600 price for the Eee PC 900 was incorrectly derived from the announced price of €400 in Europe, which includes some 20% taxes. (European laws demand that consumer prices are mentioned with taxes included.)

US price for the Eee PC 900 was announced to start at $500 ($499):

600 USD!?? are they crazy! i rather buy the Jisus from http://www.vanderled.com. Here is the link to the Jisus: http://vanderled.com/onlinestore/product_info.php/products_id/81?osCsid=adfd9d79b9e019c7ad8d054dbd36333a

If asus can sell that laptop for 600 then there sure are some crazy people out there. The cheap laptop idea was good. but they should not milk it like a cow. it could be the downfall. I mean, it was ment to be cheap. so why make it a little better and alot more expensive?
