Asus Eee PC 904HA

The Eee PC 904HA is a netbook PC that offers a blend of entertainment and business features from Asus' 2008 lineup.  The netbook features an 8.9" LCD display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and Asus' Super Hybrid Engine for improved performance.  It offers up to 1GB of DDR2 memory and differs from the 900 model since it has an Intel Atom processor with a 160GB HDD.  At 1.4kg, the Eee PC 904HA is heavier than the 900 due to the hard drive and also lacks the SD card reader that comes with the 900.  It includes a 1.3-megapixel webcam, digital array microphone, and built-in stereo speakers.  The netbook also offers Wi-Fi connectivity and has a VGA port and 3 USB ports.  The Eee PC 900HA has a battery life of up to 6.8 hours with the 6-cell battery and operates on either Windows XP Home or Linux.  The netbook is available in a fine ebony or pearl white finish.
