Just a day or so after Acer’s Aspire One goes on sale in Australia comes news that the Asus Eee PC 904 will shortly go on sale in the UK, muddying the waters over which is the best value ‘netbook’ to buy.

Wow, yet another new Asus Eee PC?

We know all about the Acer Aspire – an 8.9-inch model with 1024x600 screen, Intel Atom 1.6Ghz chip, 512MB memory and 8GB storage for Linux and 1.5GB memory and 120GB storage XP of memory, a keyboard that is 85% the size of a regular keyboard, USB ports, Wi-Fi, a webcam and more.

We also know it is going on sale at AUD $599 with a $99 cash back for the Linux model, thus being $500, or $699 with a $99 cash back for the XP model, thus being only $600, putting pressure on the already released Intel Atom-powered Asus Eee PC 901 which sells at AUD $649 and has the same size keyboard as the Eee PC 701, which Acer says its Aspire One keyboard is larger than.
