Engadget
has some details on the Eee PC 900HA. Amazon already has a listing for the
system with
a few details. The 900HA looks to have the same Atom processor and 8.9",
1024x600 display as the Eee PC 901, but it includes a 160GB hard drive instead
of the latter's 12-20GB of flash storage. With a gig of RAM, a four-cell
battery, and a copy of Windows XP Home Edition, the 900HA costs $350 with free
shipping (although it's only up for pre-order right now). That makes the 900HA
considerably cheaper than the Eee PC 901, which still costs almost $500
according to our price search engine. $350 also happens to be the exact price of
the Celeron-powered Eee PC 900. Both the 900HA and the 900 have four-cell
batteries, however, whereas the 901 has a six-cell unit rated for up to 7.8
hours of run-time. The skimpier battery and potentially power-hungrier storage
could make the 900HA less mobile, but some may prefer the increased capacity and
higher performance of the mechanical hard drive. (thanks
