We’ve heard about the 9-inch ASUS Eee PC 900AX before, and some of us where hoping it’d be a new netbook but it’s just a slight rehash of the original 900 series with pretty much the same specs – an Atom N270 processor, 8.9″ 1024 x 600 display, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Windows XP.
Turns out it’s now selling over in Australia for just $198 ($195) which is amazingly cheap considering that most electronics there are pretty expensive.
The new / old 8.9-inch netbook today was short listed on the official ASUS website. Notebook Italia drafted the specifications, and images show that there are virtually no differences between the “new” ASUS Eee PC 900AX and the now no longer available for ASUS Eee PC 900A. The system relies in the same case and continues to have a Intel Atom N270 CPU. This device could be little more then an attempt by ASUS to get rid of remaining stock, but for those who crave the 9″ form factor, this is an interesting re-rerelease.
