Asus is following Acer’s lead in dropping the price of one of their netbooks, the 901. Asus is dropping the price to $499 which is pretty darn good for a netbook with a 1.6 GHz Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 12GB SSD, 8.9 inch screen and a 6-cell battery. It looks like the netbook field is getting crowded enough to put some pricing pressure on the big boys. That can only be good for us little consumers.
