Now we all know now that the Asus Eee Computer 900 is definitely not the first Atom platform we all thought it would be, but the fully-clocked Dothan puppy parked inside would make delicious news to many. Aside from the multi-touch trackpad ASUS calls “FingerGlide,” the ASUS Eee PC 900 will also carry at least 12 GB of storage, a webcam, and an 8.9-inch diagonally wide LCD screen.

Not bad for a tiny 900 MHz monster weighing under 1 kilogram, wouldn’t you concur? ASUS promised that it still maintains its mobility and relative light weight for a laptop that now pushes high resolution screens of up to 1024 x 600 pixels. Its added volume also allowed Asus to incorporate a high-quality 1.3 megapixel CMOS webcam – but at a sacrifice of one available USB port.

The Eee Computer 900 will come with a stock memory capacity of 1 GB DDR2 RAM linked to Intel’s Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) graphics engine. For the Windows XP Lite-preloaded versions, there’s an additional 8 GB Flash solid say drive to accompany the built in 4 GB SSD storage. The Linux version, for its cheaper OS overhead, gets a whopping 16 GB from the external SSD.

Other features include the stock-fare wireless capabilities, SD/MMC support, HD audio with standard-fare earphone and mic jacks, the ever nifty VGA-out, and a standard, non-giga-capable Ethernet port. It will come in black or new black (that’s pearl white to those who’re blessed with cleaner outdoor air), and the 22.5 x 17 x 3.38 cm huge puppy will consume just about 36 watts when powered from an outlet.

Of course, all these added luxuries, plus the full-throttled Celeron M processor, would drain the Eee PC’s battery relatively swift, and that wouldn’t fit well for some who’d trade a little performance for longer operation.

Some won’t have much of an issue there, as the price point of US 500 to US 650 still leaves room to buy an extra battery for double the operation time.

Right now, what we’ve heard is that the ASUS Eee PC 900 has already launched in the UK and Hong Kong, but our own sources confirm that it launched even earlier in South East Asia for US 800 from retail. France will be next on April 17, while Taiwan and Singapore’s launches are due later this month. U.S. launch dates haven’t been confirmed, though. Updates on that as we get them.

If you were planning on getting the very sleek and very adorable Asus EeePC 900 – no doubt the name was coined after a few members of the female persuasion squealed at how terrifyingly compact this thing is – then you’d superior read up. It seems that something about the newly-released laptop isn’t what it first seemed, but not to worry – it’s still a very worthwhile purchase.

So, what’s the deal, then? The fact is that the Hong Kong and Taiwan release models are still using the same 900MHz Celeron M processor as the original Eee PC 701, and not the Intel Atom promised in CeBIT. While this may not seem to be a big of an issue to some – the thing still runs at a full 900 MHz even without overclocking – it could present itself as a bottleneck when one loads it with the CPU-demanding Windows XP.

And that’s it – but not quite. That was the bad news. The good news is that the laptop itself does come with the recently-discovered multi-touch trackpad, and in the video below, you’ll be able to see it in action. No more tap-tapping your way into laptop confusion – now you can do it with two fingers! Enjoy!
