If you’re still in the hunt for that elusive highly affordable netbook, well you’re in luck as Newegg might have what you are looking for. How about this – an Eee PC 900 for $169.99?  And you won’t have to pay for shipping cost as well.

If you have forgotten already, the Eee PC 900 used to be one of Asus’ mighty netbook, before the likes of the Eee PC 1000HE and the Seashell variants came out.

Anyway, the Newegg deal offers the Eee PC 900 with the following specs:

• 8.9″ LED-backlit LCD
• Intel Celeron-M ULV 353 900MHz processor
• 512MB RAM
• 4GB SSD
• Linux OS
• SD card slot
• 4-cell battery

Not bad for a netbook priced that cheap right?

If you’re interested, head over to the Newegg product page before supply runs out.

ASUS has responded to the user complains that British Eee PC 900 comes with 4400mAh battery while North American Eee PC 900 were shipping with 5800mAh batteries, same as in the original Eee PC 701 4G.

As company stated Asus has special deal with different markets. In EU countries, Eee PC 900 ships with 4400mAh batteries but you will get a two-year warranty within the country you bought the Eee 900.

Practically the same situation as with a trade-off buying the Windows XP powered Eee PC 900, pay for the Microsoft OS and get less storage capacity, 12GB instead the 20GB found in the Linux version. A

nd question remains will European buyers would likely have stronger battery than two year warranty?
