It’s official: Asus is pulling yet another Eee PC out of its very, very large hat. The Asus Eee PC 900A, which we first started to hear about a few weeks ago, is indeed virtually identical to the Eee PC 900. But there’s one major difference: The new model packs an Intel Atom CPU.

The Eee PC 900A is also the first Eee PC I’ve seen that comes in purple. Here’s a rundown of the rest of the specs:

• CPU: Intel Atom N270
• Display: 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
• RAM: 1GB
• Storage: 8GB or 16GB SSD and 20GB free online storage
• Connectivity: 802.11b/g, Ethernet
• Expansion: SD card slot, 3 USB ports, VGA output,
• Webcam: 0.3 megapixels
• Battery: 4 cell, 3-4 hours
• Dimensions: 22.5cm x 17cm x 2~3.38cm
• Weight: .99kg
• Colors: white, black, and purple

No official word on pricing or availability yet, but German retailer ComTech is accepting preorders for the computer for 299 Euros or about $445 US.
