It was almost two months ago when we first wrote about the Eee PC 1101HA (part of the new Sea shell line).  Asus now has these puppies available to order and the good news is that they’re going to be cheaper than originally thought.  Initially there was chatter that the 1101HA would be coming out at $459.  I’ve learned today that Sears is now selling the 1101HA for $399!

In case you need to be refreshed about what makes this netbook so great, you can find the specs here:

-11.6″ LED Backlight WSVGA screen (1366×768)
-Microsoft Windows XP Home Preloaded
-Intel Menlow Z520 Processor
-160GB Hard Drive + 10GB of Eee Storage
-1GB DDR2 RAM
-High-Speed Wireless 802.11n
-Bluetooth V2.1
-6-Cell (62.64W/h) Battery Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life
-Built in 1.3 megapixel Webcam

I have an 1000HE with a 6 cell battery and I can attest to the long battery life found in these netbook.
