Probably the internet’s most popular deal-a-day website Woot.com seems to be quite found of the Asus Eee 900 [Portal page]. They have offered it several times in past and today you can find it on not just one, but two of their sites.
On Woot.com today you’ll find the Asus Eee 900 featuring the 900 MHz Celeron CPU, 512MB of RAM, 8.9 inch 1024×600 resolution screen, 4GB of SSD storage and Asus’ custom Xandros Linux for Eee PCs.
On Sellout.Woot.com you’ll find a slightly better version of the Eee 900 which has identical specs except it runs Windows XP, includes a webcam, and has double the SSD storage (8GB). Uh-oh looks like this one is already sold out!
Both units are refurbished but can be had for the very reasonable price of $150 and $180 respectively. If you are interested, buy quick! Once they sell out or the day is over, they are gone! (note: Sorry international friends, Woot and Sellout.Woot only ship in the US)

I thought their description of the product was funny, here is an excerpt:

One of the most popular netbooks here in the Portal can be bought from my favorite deal-a-day website, Woot.com for $289. I’ll cut right to the chase so that those of you who want the Aspire One can get the facts and go pick one up before they sell out!
Take a quick look at my Aspire One review to get a general feel for the hardware; software review can be disregarded as the Aspire One on Woot is running Linpus Lite (Linux) instead of XP like the one I reviewed (of course you could always put your own OS on it). So anyway, here is what you are going to get for $289 (+$5 shipping):
- 1.6 GHz Atom N270 CPU
- 512MB of RAM
- 8GB SSD
- 1024×600 8.9" screen
- Linpus Lite (Linux) OS
- All the other goodies that are common across every Aspire Ones
And there you have it, you can pick up a nice netbook for $289 if you are quick on the trigger, I feel certain that it will sell out quickly. Remember, the deal will only be available today and only until it sells out. Make haste!
