Asus Announces Eee PC With 160GB














Asus recently announced their 3.75G laptop which has built in 3G capabilities making it possible to go online pretty much anywhere. They have now announced another upgrade to their 900 series Eee which puts a massive 160Gb hard drive inside it.

The only problem now is choosing between better connectivity or more hard drive space. From my point of view I could live with the lower storage capacity if I could have the better connectivity that the 3.75G model offers.











The new Asus Eee PC is named the 900HA and is powered by an Intel Atom N270 processor. It has 3 USB 2.0 ports and a built in 1.3 megapixel camera.

The display is at the standard 8.9 inches for the 900 series which runs at a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. On the connectivity side there is Wi-fi built in as well as a LAN port for those who prefer wired connections. Also there is support for both MMC and SD cards allowing you to more easily transfer your digital photos to the Eee PC.

The price of this little laptop is surprisingly cheap at $350 and for this price you also get Windows XP installed.

I am still in favour of the 3.75G model though as I easily prefer better web connectivity to hard drive space. If only they could create an Asus Eee PC 901HA so we could have both the extreme amount of storage space and tons of connectivity. Oh well… maybe the next announcement will tell us just that.
