Asustek to Launch Eee PC 904 HD

PC Retail Magazine confirmed today that Asustek is to launch a new low cost ultraportable laptop – the Asus Eee PC 904 HD.

The 904 HD will have the same chassis as the 10-inch models with a full size keyboard, but will ship with an 8.9-inch display reportedly.

“It will also feature a hard disk instead of a solid state drive that the other models feature, hence the HD after its name,” PC Retail says.

The 904 HD will hit the UK market “within a matter of weeks”, and will be priced at around £250 (around $500), according to an unnamed spokesperson.

There is no information on availability in the United States.

We assume this news is also a confirmation of existence of the Eee PC 904 with an SSD.

[...] Along with these lower-end models, the roadmap says that Asustek is going to release the S101 and S91 “extreme slim and light” models and “professional elegant” 1000HV, 1002SA, 1002HA, and T101. There are also some new 9xx series, such as 900A, 900HD, 904HD, and 904HA. [...]
