Asus Introduces a 160GB Eee PC 900HA Netbook

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.

Corsair Rolls Out a 64GB Flash Voyager USB Drive

Corsair has always been a pioneer, concerning portable storage drives, and as we speak, the company has launched another flash-stick milestone, boosted with 64GB of storage capacity, literally doubling previous 32GB version. Surprisingly, you won’t need to break your saving box to get this one, since this ultimate storing, transporting and backing solution is priced at merely $199, which is fair enough, comparing to last year’s costing. The good news are, that with this large density, you can store complete seasons of your favorite TV shows or the entire contents of most notebook hard drives, and because those drives are bootable, you can actually store full versions of operating systems and applications, in case you’re facing system problems. The new drives will be available immediately, but to be more convinced, check out the comparison table after the break.
