The same day that the Asus Eee PC 900 appears on most U.S. retail stores is its product launch in Manila, Philippines. None other than two representatives from Asustek came all the way from Taiwan to launch the Eee PC 900 before the Filipino press people, bloggers and enthusiasts. The Eee PC 900 would sell for almost the same $549.99 equivalent to Philippine peso. Unfortunately, when I asked the Asustek representative if they have the black version, he said that Asustek is releasing the white version first. But there is certainly the black ones, as I noticed in their press kit. I’m guessing that they would deplete their stock of the white Eee PC 900 first before releasing the black ones. As for other colors, Asustek doesn’t seem keen on releasing other funky colors similar to the colors of the Eee PC 700. And yes, the Eee PC 900 would come with the 4400mAh battery, which the Asustek representative said would last for a good 3.5 hours. We’ll have to confirm that from actual users though. Here are a couple of shots of the press launch, as well as some shots comparing the Eee PC 900 with the 701. Just click on the thumbnail for a larger view.
