Asus Eee 900 to hit shelves on 1 May
The Eee 900, which will come with an operating-system choice of Linux or Windows, will cost £329. The Linux version will have 20GB of solid-state storage on-board.
As previously revealed, the screen size has increased from that of the first-generation Eee 701, from seven inches to 8.9 inches. The screen resolution is an unusual 1,024x600 pixels (1,024x768 pixels is more common). The RAM has doubled from 512MB to 1GB and the built-in webcam's resolution has been boosted from 0.3 megapixels to 1.3 megapixels.
The Eee 900, at 990 grams, will be about 100 grams heavier than its predecessor but will also include a multitouch touchpad, similar to that seen on the MacBook Air. This kind of touchpad makes it easier to zoom in and out of images using two fingers.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

At the proposed price of around $600 this will not fly
This needs to be no more than $500 to sell. For $549 we can get the HP Mini-Note which is only slightly bigger and only a half pound heavier. The $549 Mini-Note has sharper resolution, a 120GB HD, and an infinitely better keyboard. When HP switches the CPU to the upcoming drop-in replacement VIA Isaiah, who would buy an EEE?
