ASUS' 11.6-inch Eee PC 1101HA has finally made it to retail, with the 1.33GHz Atom Z520 ultraportable landing at Amazon. $429.99 gets you not only the 1101HA's 1,366 x 768 LED-backlit panel, but a 160GB hard-drive and 1GB of RAM. According to ASUS, the 1101HA's battery is good for up to 10hrs runtime.

There's also WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth and Windows XP Home. According to the early hands-on we've seen the 1101HA is a well put-together machine, but we do have some concerns about both the relatively underpowered Atom CPU – which proved disappointing in the Acer Aspire One 751 – and the pedestrian GMA500 graphics.
