With the Eee PC 901 shipping (or about to ship) worldwide, who in their right mind would buy the now outdated Eee PC 900? Think of it, for an extra $50 you get twice the processor at half the power usage. Thus, in an attempt to sell its remaining stock, Asus is now issuing a $100 rebate on all Eee PC 900s sold between today and July 31st.
The rebate brings the Eee PC 900’s current price-tag of $550 down to a competitive $450. A few noteworthy differences in the two models are as follows. The 901 has the more efficient atom processor, a bigger battery, better microphone, sleeker design, and an overclocking/underclocking feature. However, both models have the same screen size and resolution and more-or-less the same features. So if you’re tight on money, you may want to give the 900 a shot.
