Eee PC 901 to Arrive in UK on July 1

Register Hardware is reporting that the new Eee PC 901 will start hitting markets in the UK on July 1. And surprisingly despite being touted as a better model than the Eee PC 900, the Eee PC 901 will retail $20 less than the introductory price of the 900, that is around $620 (£319). The Eee PC 900 retailed for around $640 when it was released in April.

If you would recall the Eee PC 901 have better specs than the Eee PC 900. Aside from the Atom processor, it will also have a much sought Bluetooth connectivity feature and a better 6600mAh battery. So, if you will ask us how come the Eee PC 901 would be cheaper than the Eee PC 900, I guess we all have to credit the threat of competitors to the Eee PC product line (MSI, Acer and Dell).

And of course, the Eee PC 901 that will arrive on July 1 in UK stores will be available in shiny white or glossy black.
