Asus breaks sub-$300 price barrier with Eee PC 900A at Best Buy
jkOnTheRun — Let's get the sub-$300 netbook party started! Pereira just pinged me to share this Best Buy link which shows the white Asus Eee PC 900A available for $299. This is basically the same model as the 900, but the "A" stands for Atom. As in 1.6 GHz Intel Atom. So it still comes with Linux pre-installed on the 4GB SSD drive and includes 1GB of RAM which is more than plenty. My original Eee PC was pretty zippy when running Linux with just half of that. At one point, there was discussion of netbooks being an impulse purchase right off the shelf. At under $300, that becomes much more of a likely reality if you can find them on the shelf to begin with. I just checked stock at the ...

Asus Offers sub-$300 Netbook
Wired: Gadget Lab — Looks like in this weak economy, low-cost netbooks are the perfect buy. Check out this Asus N270 netbook priced at $299 from Best Buy. The specs are pretty good for the price. A 4GB solid state drive, 1 GB memory and a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor. The netbook has an 8.9-inch screen and runs Linux operating system.

ASUS Eee PC 900A now under $300
SlashGear — It’s not quite the $199 netbook we were originally promised, but ASUS seem to be celebrating the Eee PC’s one-year birthday by dipping under the $300 barrier.  The ASUS Eee PC 900A, first announced back in August, is currently available at Best Buy for $299.99.  Your three Benjamins gets you an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 8.9-inch display and 4GB SSD storage. OS is Linux, RAM is 1GB but the battery is unspecified.  The 900A was originally tipped to use a 4-cell pack, but that model also only came in 8GB or 16GB versions; it’s possible that ASUS have slipped in a 3-cell battery along with the SSD cut. Nonetheless, an 8.9-inch netbook for that price is a good ...

Best Buy offering the Eee PC 900A for under $300
Gadgetell — Section: Computers, Mobile Computers, Laptops The pricing seems to be gradually getting lower and lower for the Eee PC lineup and the latest model to hit that magical sub-$300 price point is the Eee PC 900A.  For those (myself included) that have become confused as to just what each Eee PC model offers, this $299.99 Eee PC features an 8.9-inch display, 1GB of RAM, a 4GB SSD and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor.  This model is also running Linux as opposed to Windows XP.  The product listing does not mention a battery size, originally the 900A shipped with a 4-cell battery, but with the lower pricing I would not be surprised to see this shipping with a smaller 3-cell battery. ...
