Eee PC lineup seeing lots of price cuts

Eee PC lineup seeing lots of price cuts

Perhaps due to the overabundance of options in the netbook market, Asus has begun to lower the prices on several of their Eee PC models. The latest two seeing a price cut are the Eee PC 901 and the Eee PC 1000H.

The Eee PC 901, which features an 8.9-inch display with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 12GB SSD and 6-cell battery is down to just $499 on Amazon.

The second model seeing a price cut is the Eee PC 1000H, which features a 10-inch display with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive and 6-cell battery is being found as low as $449 on MWave and $505 on Amazon.

Both the 901 and 1000H are available in black and are running Windows XP. These price seem to only be a good thing for consumers, maybe we can see these netbooks get back to being a more affordable range like they were initially introduced at. Although the Eee PC 701 was never as low priced as initially promised or hoped for it was still fairly inexpensive, since then it seems the pricing of netbooks in general has just gotten higher and higher, its nice to see them coming back down.
