Asus keeps raining more and more Eee PC netbook versions, when this time, it’s the Eee PC 900HA, which is pretty similar to its 900A sibling, only with a 160GB hard drive, instead of the 30GB inside the previous model. The rest of the specs stay the same, including a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4-cell battery, Windows XP onboard and the usual 8.9-inch 1,024 x 600 display. Now, generally speaking, we welcome new additions, anytime, anywhere, but c’mon guys, don’t you think this is too confusing. I mean, why launching a new model when all you can do is announcing a new 900A edition. Seriously, the more you release, the more it gets frustrating, and don’t get me wrong, I truly like these netbooks, but it’s really hard to follow, when the same laptop keeps coming, only with a different name, isn’t it? Anyways, it is now available for $349, if you manage tracking them.
Update: looks like our desperate call wasn’t strong enough, since Asus has just released the Eee PC 904HA, with 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 6-cell battery and a 160GB hard drive, adorned with green or red glaring colors and priced at $399.99 (via eeepcnews). Don’t bother to much, it’s exactly the same as the 900HA version, only with an improved battery and different casing. Check the picture after the break.

Hi! You wrote “Dont bother to much, its exactly the same as the 900HA version, only with an improved battery “.. WHAT are you talking about, this is the only thing you should care about! The shitty battery time is the biggest problems with these little suckers, becuase with a lausy battery they are just gadgets. With the improved battery time of the 904HA it might just be the perfect work tool for a lot of at the same time…! 🙂

In a way, you’re right, but my main issue – saying that – was to stand on the minor-overall differences between the two versions. IMO, improving battery is not a reason to change the name of a model. Battery time is one of the most important things in laptops, however, it gets frustrating when every second day you get to hear about a new netbook without substantial changes.
