The ASUS Eee PC 904 netbook has finally made it on the company's official web page. And, although everything about the new ASUS Eee PC has been pretty much clear for quite some time, the product's specifications list is now official. From the looks of it, this is what the Taiwanese manufacturer sees as a competitor to Acer's Aspire One.

The 904 model will be made available with either a Linux or a Windows XP operating system, which is pretty much the case with most of the other Eee PC netbooks. However, unlike the latest series of the Eee PC that ASUS launched a few weeks back, this 904 model will not come equipped with Intel's Atom. In fact, it will pack the same processor as the one found on the company's first Eee PC, the 701. Provided with the Celeron M, the new Eee PC will be ready for shipment faster than all of the other Atom-powered netbooks. And that can be explained by the fact that the Atom is still in limited supply.

As expected, the new ASUS netbook comes with the same chassis as the Eee PC 1000, but is equipped with an 8.9-inch display, which is capable of outputting images at a 1024 by 600 resolution. The 904 offers 80 GB of storage space on a normal hard disk drive. Its users will also benefit from 2GB of RAM memory and 802.11b/g wireless support. With the built-in 1.3 MP webcam, the 904 is ready to offer its users an excellent Internet experience.

Equipped with a 6-cell battery, the new Eee PC 904 can provide its users with a 5h working autonomy. The netbook will weigh in at 1.4kg, but that is probably because of the high-capacity hard drive that has been slapped onto it.

The Eee PC 904 is yet to make its debut in stores, but expectations are that it will cost less than the company's Eee PC 901 model.
