Asus Eee 900 on Woot, today only for $179

Posted on 19 March 2009 by



eee900 Just a few weeks ago, Woot featured the Asus Eee 701 netbook on their Yahoo branded site, shopping.woot.com. Today they are back with more netbooks. The Asus Eee 900 is available from shopping.woot.com today for just $179, available in black or white.

The refurbished unit has the following specs:

  • 1024×600 8.9” screen
  • 512MB of RAM
  • 900MHz Celeron CPU
  • 4GB of SSD storage
  • Linux

More detailed info can be found at the Eee 900’s Portal page.

Head over to shopping.woot.com soon if you want to buy one, this deal will only be available through the end of the day or until they sell out!

I thought their description of the product was funny, here is an excerpt:

    Since these are 900 and NOT 900A on top of that they are refurbished (usually as good as new, but should be cheaper), some time ago now already I took this pic at a Best Buy $199.99 for 1G RAM 4G SSD EEE 900A, brand new:

    Not to mention I feel Dell Mini refurbished is a much better deal :) but they are selling http://sellout.woot.com/Default.aspx?WootSaleId=8242&ts=1237481202&sig=15d9f8945d311d82
