ASUS Eee PC 901 falls to a cool $500
,----[ Quote ]
| For reasons unknown, netbook manufacturers (on the whole, at least) have been
| asking ridiculous sums of money for their wares, but now that the novelty of
| the sector is wearing off, we're seeing those figures start to head south.
| Following in Acer's footsteps, ASUS has evidently lowered the entry price for
| its Fine Ebony / Pearl White Eee PC 901 to $499.99.

4 new mini-laptops -- which is smallest, lightest, best?

| While Windows is an option on most models, Linux is the operating system of
| choice because of its low cost and modest hardware requirements.
