Asus Philippines is still mulling over the suggested retail price of the newer Asus Eee PC 900. The firm handling the launching of the model next week indicated it will be Php24,995 but the final price will be revealed during the event.
All the while, units are already being sold on PC Corner with a price tag of Php 28,999. They previously listed this at Php33,900 (with 2GB of RAM).
Two flavors are currently available — a 12GB + Windows XP model and a bigger 20GB + Linux Xandros model. Both will have 1GB of memory on board.
P.S.: Bloggers interested in attending this Press Launch can leave a comment. I can recommend you on the Asus event list. This is on May 12, 10:30 AM in Makati.

Of course, just to be sure I might as well leave a comment here also. Hope they could send me an invite. Thanks!
Me and my fiance are looking for the right notebook for our needs and their launch event will be a good thing for us, BUT, Monday morning? I have Corporate meetings, and my fiance have to attend her ICT seminars.
Right now we’re choosing between Lenovo (IBM) IdeaPad and Asus Eee notebooks.
I received an email invitation to the press launch. I’m thinking of attending. I’ve never been to a gadget press launch before so what should I expect?
Oh yeah, I took the liberty to sent some of your names and emails earlier.
@Eugene freebies! hehe.. it’s fun
Any press launch/conference is always fun. The mere fact of getting an invitation when you’re doing nothing is in itself very elating.
It means they know “YOU”.
Finally, you of course get to right the first info about the gadget and first photos. So bring your notebook so you can update real quick :p
I’d like to be there. Looking at it for some upcoming travel.

25K hmm… sounds like a deal but again more I’m inclined to wait for an Atom version.

Hi Master,
I also received an invite to the Press Launch. Will you be there? I want to go. This will be my first time to attend an event like this and I’m not confident. What should I wear? Should I wear barong? Amerikana? Ano? hehe…
[...] other news, the Asus Eee PC 900 that used to sell at Php 33,900+ is now down at Php 28,999. Although the suggested retail price [...]
Hi, I want to attend this event, just bought an EEE PC last month, so far it’s been great.
Medyo out of the topic lang po ito but i want to ask why Julia Aquino’s blog ranks higher than Yugatech in Topblogs.com.ph whereas according to her sitemeter, she only receives an average of 2300 to 3000 unique visitors a day. Yugatech should rank higher than Julia.
Naitanong ko lang po kasi kayo po ang may-ari ng Pinoytopblogs dati di ba? And before accurate ang measurement unlike now parang madali atang madaya ang topblogs.com.ph

boo theyre selling them for NT 15900 or about PHP22,000 at the taiwan airport. Got one already
They should be as low as the price can be since they will have stiff competition from the other UMPCs in the upcoming months.

Yugs, can you include me in the list so I can attend the product launch? TY.
Hi guys, I need the blog URL of those attending the Press Launch.
@Aldrin
Just wear what you usually wear. You don’t need to be semi-formal or formal
If you want to wear Barong Tagalog or Coat & Tie, then wear it if that will make you comfortable. Otherwise, just be casual 
Hi, can I go along with my brother?
It would be interesting to see that ASUS 900 laptop among other products too.

Count me in too, thanks a lot

I wanna go to the event. Please invite me. Hehehe.
No wonder I got an invitation too. Thanks Sir Abe!
If it will really sell for just Php24K, then it might change my mind, then again it may not. I’ve been pondering lately and for the same price of Php24k, I’d still get that Compaq Presario I blogged about days ago.
Now if only MacBooks carried these pricetags…lol
