Perhaps Asus never got the memo that nobody really cares about sub-10 inch netbooks anymore, or that Intel has come out with this thing called Pine Trail. More than likely, however, the vendor is just looking to clear out old inventory with a new model number, the Eee PC 900AX.
This blast to the past sports an 8.9-inch display with a 1024x600 pixel resolution. It comes equipped with a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, which isn't even the fastest of Intel's last-gen Atom parts. Other bits of nostalgia include 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 0.3MB webcam, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi (no Wireless-n), and Windows XP Home.
Making a compromise between the 3-cell batteries that are still commonplace and the more desirable 6-cell units, Asus is equipping its Eee PC 900AX with a 4-cell battery, which the company claims is good enough for up 4 hours of usage.
No word yet on price or availability.

I dont mind these either but has anyone figured out yet what these things are for? I mean we have desktops that go with your desk. Laptops for being mobile. Smartphones for everything left over. What in the world are these netbooks for????
