Asus Eee PC 901 spied on web... in black

Once again, way cooler than the white one

We saw leaked piccies of the white Atom-powered Eee PC 901 t'other week, but now it's the turn of the black version to find pictures of itself slip out of Asus and appear on the web.

Once again, the shots come from French-language fansite Blogeee.net, which clearly has a mole inside Asus' art department. Here's just a taster of the shots on offer:

Earlier this week, it was claimed that this machine - now facing competition from the likes of MSI's Wind, HP's Mini-Note 2133 and, now, Medion's Akoya - will be offered with an optional Bluetooth module.

However, it doesn't appear that the 901 will get the once-promised WiMax option.

Asus has suggested that the Atom version of the 900 will appear over here toward the end of June following a formal launch earlier that month at the Computex show in Taipei.

Nah

Having the Eee in black just makes it look like every other laptop out there - nothing particularly special about it except the small size, I really like my white 701 because for one you can see the keys much easier in lower light conditions and will be getting a white 900 when the Atom version is released.

Will I still use my beige systems?

I've heard that once you have black, you never go back.

This is of concern to me, as I still have some beige systems.

Paris, because she'll have anything, as long as it's 'hot'.
