All the people comparing the 900 to the 901 seem to be leaving out an important factor when you are saying “how do you account for the higher price?!” People mention bluetooth blah blah blah, but no one seems to mention the 4cell batter in the 900 compared to the 6 cell in the 901. Thats 2.5 hours compared to 6-8 hours…. very worth it to me. Plus there is wifi N in the 901 vs wifi b/g.
Im using price comparison websites and have found a eee pc 901 for $545CND and will likely be getting that before I start University in a month.

waitng on my BLACK 900.

Yeah- it’d be nice to have the features of the 901 or 902 or 903 or… all for the price of the 701….

I’m suspicious of first gen atom-bleeding edge-, but looks promising. i like how stingy it is w/ power. The celery proc w/ the wider screen and all those exiting bluetooth hacks will get ‘er done for me right now.

price? like ben says- find a way to justify it if you want it- get some freelance work or something and it’ll pay for itself in a few weeks.

It’s all about the size. One guy said-”show and tell game”- It’s kind of like bicycles- you can get a nice bike for $200, or get an ultra-light one for $2000 – you are paying more money for less weight. Target audience has access to multi-core desktops(first car). This is not a second car(laptop). It’s a third car.

as a third car- it doesn’t need to run or autocad or photoshop. just word and firefox etc.

why would it cost 650? when it only cost like 100-200 to manufacture it… i mean the keyboard is already flimsy… thats like a a 400% over expected price range… THEY MENTIONED OF GIVING A PC TO EVERYONE, THEY ARE NOT HOLDING THEIR WORDS! YOU LIED ASUS! YOUR SCHEME WAS JUST A MARKETING TOOL.. FUCK YOU!

Hmm… On the issue of pricing, it does go against what the EEE pc was created for. If the 901 is around $550 then yeah sure, thats a decent price for what your getting I SUPPOSE. $650 just is simply to friggin much. That was the whole point of this thing. Cheap, and gets the job done.

No such thing as expensive. Its just that, you just cant afford it.
Either you work hard for it ; or desire less.

On the price issue….

Asus hit the sweet spot with $400 701. They designed and targeted it at kids and women who could easily haul it in a purse or something. What they didn’t figure on is that there are enough professionals out there that also like the thing, and they don’t mind paying a few more dollars for a few more bells and whistles. ( I myself am kind of on the fence right now, moved past my sweet spot ). So it’s quite simple, If you don’t want to pay for the bells and whistles go for the 701. They still sell it. If you feel rich go for the 900, 901, or the 1000. I’m gonna sit a while and watch what happens. Hate to be a victim like the iPhone shenanigans: $100 dollar price drop withing a couple of months of being released.
