1.7 Ghz Eee PC 900?

This must be a typo right? Buy.com are offering an Eee PC 900, SKU EEEPC900-W012X, with a 1.7Ghz Celeron processor. Click the image on the right to see the details. [Buy.com product link.] The same is also appearing at ZipZoomfly.

I wonder if this is an attempt to sneak a high-end Eee PC 900 out of the door with Windows XP before the rules change!

Thanks, whatever7, for the tip.

It has to be a typo, the price is the same as for the 900Mhz version…
Either that or Asus will lower the price of 900MHz version – not likely…

As long as the HD is split up like it is now they can put a dual-core in it and i still wont buy it.Another question is,how long will the battery last with an 1.7GHz processor,one hour or less ?

Still go for MSI Wind.
