Asus Eee PC 900 Announced in the US
Recently, Asus introduced Eee PC 900 and had announced its released date in the United Kingdom. Now the latest buzz is that Asus plans to roll out the 8.9-inch laptop in the United States after exactly 12 days of its UK launch.
Powered by Intel Celeron-M processor at 630 or 900 MHz, the lightweight and ultra compact notebook PC runs on either Microsoft’s Windows XP or Linux. In the Windows OS version, the 900 incorporates an 8GB internal flash module, due to licensing fees associated with Windows, which adds to a total of 12 GB of storage. The Linux-based Eee PC 900 is equipped with a 4GB SSD and an extra 16 GB internal flash memory, totaling up to 20 GB.
Asus’ Eee PC 900 incorporates an 8.9-in 1024×600 display, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, a multi-touch trackpad and 3 USB 2.0 ports.
“Cost would be one of the reasons, but not the main one,” Asus spokesperson Charlton Ho said. “Also, [the] Linux version is our main Eee PC model with our unique interface, so the consumer not only can get the great and easy-to-use interface on the Linux version but extra storage.”
The Asus Eee PC 900 will carry a price tag of $549 (approx. Rs. 21,960).
