MacNN notes that Asus' eeePC 900 is now available on sites like Amazon.com for $550.

The 8.9-inch computer's specifications remain the same and take the Eee slightly further upscale with a sharper 1024x600 resolution, a basic multi-touch trackpad, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Versions hold either 12GB of flash storage on Windows XP models or else 20GB on versions with the less expensive Linux operating system, though either can accept SD and SDHC cards. Launch models continue to use a 900MHz Celeron M processor rather than the Intel Atom planned for later editions.

The earlier model with smaller screen, less memory, no web camera is also available from around $300.

For what you would do with that computer, I bet you 20GB is more than enough for most users.
