Say goodbye to the toy-like Eee PC, and say hello to the more luxurious looking Asus S101.
Aimed at providing the mobile techno-warrior with an affordable yet compact netbook solution, the Asus S101 features everything you can expect from an ultra-portable of today and then some. It’s wicked thin measuring a mere 18mm in thickness and has an Intel Atom processor at its very core. Rounding up the rest of its specs are 1GB RAM, 10.2-inch wide LED-backlit 1024×600 252K display, WiFi 802.11n compatible, Bluetooth, multi-touch touchpad, non-removable 2450 mAh battery, and a variety of SSD storage options to choose from. The 16GB SSD variant will come with Windows XP and is expected to cost $699, while the Linux-based 32GB SSD and 64 GB SSD versions will fetch for $699 and $799 respectively.
It may not be as affordable as the first batch of Eee PCs, but with its ultra-slim form factor, users might find its more expensive price worth it. Besides, its still a whole lot cheaper than the Macbook Air, but then again, the Asus S101 isn’t a Mac. No word though on when it will be released locally so just stay tuned for future updates.
