Amazon Starts Accepting Pre-Orders for the Eee PC 901

July 5, 2008 10 Comments

Finally, Amazon has started accepting pre-orders for the much-anticipated Atom-powered Eee PC 901. It is slated for release in July 8, so you better start registering for your orders. And since there has been a lot of reports on the release of other Eee PC 900 variants, we’re suspecting that there wouldn’t be too many units of the Eee PC 901 available in the US market. So, better enter your orders as early as now from Amazon.

But, honestly, with the Eec PC 903, 904 and 905 coming, plus the 1000 and 1000h, would you still consider buying the Eee PC 901?

If you do, be prepared to shell out around $599. The Amazon Eee PC 901 comes with 8.9-inch display, Intel ATOM processor, 1GB RAM, Linux OS/Windows XP. Both the 20GB and 12GB and Black and Pearl White models are available. Funny thing is, there doesn’t seem to be a price difference among all these models. What’s up with that?

Yes, I am ordering this. It’s small screen means the smallest footprint available in an atom processor based unit. Small is what I thought this whole thing was supposed to be about. The 904 on up used the larger chassis which means a larger machine.

There should be no price difference. The linux machine has a larger hard drive (incorrectly labeled on one of the Amazon entries) to make up for the cost of the Windows OS.

Anton..Could you post a translated version of the review?

Anyway, yes I’m getting it and because of the 904, Asus WILL be dropping the price of the 901 to £299. How’s that!

Interesting info on the battery from the translated review:

“The test battery showed that the laptop worked 3.5 hours when watching video.
In mode device with office applications require recharging after 4 hours 20 minutes, which is also a good result. ”

Far from the 7.8h hours that Asus says, but still OK IMHO.

What do you think about this results?
