Asus releases Eee PC900 specifications and UK prices

Asus says that it will launch the Eee PC900 range in the UK on May 1, and clicking the image above will give you a good idea how it stacks up against the popular Eee PC 700. Asus says:

ASUS Eee PC magic continues with its next generation dubbed ASUS Eee PC 900. It offers several stunning updates and improvements. The screen size grows from 7" to 8.9"; the RAM size grows from 512MB to 1GB, all supported with larger storage of up to 20GB. All the new models are Windows ready and come with a built in webcam (growing from 0.3m to 1.3m pixel), 4GB of SSD and a superb battery life of 3.5hrs. Finally, the weight stays below 1kg making it the ideal fusion of mobility and computing.


Of course, the fact that there's an announcement doesn't mean there will lots of supply: that remains an unknown.

So, do you reckon the 900 is worth the extra over the 700? And which version will sell best -- Windows XP or Linux -- bearing in mind that they are the same price?
