Looking for an Ultra Portable? New Asus Eee PC 901
The original Asus Eee PC was spectacular hit. Most people, however, wanted more power, longer battery life and a larger solid state storage drive. Many wanted to install Windows besides.
Now it’s here! The ultimate in an ultra portable PC.
The new Asus Eee 901 PC, which comes in white or ebony, has all of that. The Asus Eee 901 is based on the new Intel Atom CPU, has 1GB RAM, 802.11n wireless, bluetooth, 10/100 lan, webcam, 12GB SSD drive, 8.9″ (1024 x 600) WSVGA display, hi-def speakers and mic, MMC/SD slot and it only weighs 2.4 pounds.
This machine is packed full of features and has Windows XP Home preinstalled. Thanks to the new Intel Atom architecture it can boast a battery life of 4 - 8 hours instead of the typical 3 hours of the original Eee PC.
When the first Eee PC debuted I thought it was just a bunch of hype and that it would die down. It never did. In fact, entire online communities sprung up around the Eee PC and what you could do with it.
Now with the 901 version of the Eee, Asus has added about every feature that users hungered for in the first edition.
You won’t find much competition on the price, it’s pretty set at $599. What you will be looking for is availability.
One of my favorite vendor’s is Buy.com, they are offering the Eee PC 901 with free shipping - when in stock! You can place your order and they will ship it as soon as it’s in.
