Asus Cuts Eee Pc 901 Price: Now Less Than $500

It looks like Asus is slashing the price of the Eee PC 901. Previously you could pick up this 8.9 inch laptop with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 12GB SSD, 1GB of RAM and Windows XP for about $599. But now Amazon is asking just $499 for the netbook and I’m guessing other retailers will soon follow suit.

This isn’t the first time Asus has lowered the price of a netbook to keep it in line with prices for similarly specced machines. When MSI released the 10 inch Wind laptop with a 6 cell battery for $550, Asus cut the price of the 10 inch, 6 cell Eee PC 1000H from $650 to $550. And now that Lenovo, Dell, band other laptop makers are offering 8.9 Inch Netbooks for under b, it only make sense that Asus would follow suit.

Oh yeah, the 20GB Linux version of the Eee PC 901 is also now available for $499.
