Eee PC, the little computer with a dangerous penchant for getting more expensive, is upping the ante once again. Asus has announced the new Eee PC 901 will be available in June at a price point of 'under $650' (it's totally going to be $649). Enhancements include a new low-power Intel Atom processor under the hood, bluetooth and a couple of metallic highlights to slightly change-up the current design.
The Eee PC has faced competition in the subnotebook category in recent times with the introduction of the MSI Wind and the HP 2133 Mini-Note. In fact, the MSI Wind is a full $100 cheaper, yet also packs an Atom processor. Is it just me, or does Asus seems utterly determined to price themselves out of the low-end market?
