Eee PC S101

If you’re anxiously waiting to get more information on that new ASUS Eee PC S101 netbook, then you should head over to Mobile Computer UK’s website for an exclusive review of the “high end netbook”. Their review system had the following specs:

  • Intel Atom processor running at 1.6GHz
  • 1GB RAM
  • Intel GMA 945
  • 16GB SSD or 32GB SSD (Windows XP/Linux)
  • 10.2 inch 1024 x 600 LED backlit display
  • 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • Ethernet
  • Three USB 2.0 ports
  • VGA port
  • SD card slot
  • audio ports
  • Built-in webcam
  • Measures 266 x 191 x 28 mm and weighs 1.06 kg

Judging from the plentiful pictures, the S101 certainly looks like a piece of art (though I’m also not crazy about the crystals in the hinges). Here’s an excerpt from the review:

Still, an extra £85 is much extra to pay over the Eee PC 1000 and you’re getting a lot less netbook (in a good way!) for your money. The S101 is no less portable than the compact Eee PC 901, but has none of the usability compromises. That said, we did hope for just a little more for something billed as “high-end”, and onboard HSDPA would be an obvious addition, even if it added a tenner to the price.
