yes, i also dont understand why asus change the battery to lower capacity

Battery cell shortage.... LG factory that produces the cell burnt so there's 6million piece of backorder in the industry for higher capacity battery.

That means the 900 should also be equipped with the higher capacity as the 701?

for the media preview set, the battery is 5800mAh

That means we have to beware that we check the battery before purchasing the 900.. by the way, is there a 5800mAh sold in Taiwan at all?
Also, I have heard several reviews saying that the battery capacity are the same for both 900 and 701.. now i'm confused, I'm not sure which is which now..

I haven't gone to the shops yet as I was outstation for a while.. but the webshop states the specs as 5800mah

i think the current batch for eeepc 900 is all using 4400

Damm..........!!
i've just got my 701 recently, now the 900 is out d...........

Then those people who buys the 900 will say oh damn,.... the 1000 out di. Hahahaha... expect to see A LOT of competition coming out in June.

Acer, Dell and Compaq among them

wat 2 do........
since tis lovely lappy out 1st in the market n the others are jealous about it............
so there is so many competitor now in the market loh...
hahaha.......

the price if for direct conversion is very tempting le... hm...
