Crave UK has a hands-on with the ASUS Eee PC S101
The folks at Crave UK have published a hands-on look at the new ASUS Eee PC S101 netbook here on their website and man.. it sure does look sweet. Crave’s even gone as far as saying the S101 is “hands down – the best Eee PC ever ever ever”.
Now I know I ragged on the S101 for it’s price point but there’s no doubt the netbook is slim and sexy (though like others, I could live without the Swarovski crystal in the hinges). Now aside from the good looks, the S101 also appears to have an excellent keyboard (definitely something to consider if you can’t stand the small keyboard form factors of the 900 series or the Aspire One etc). I did find an interesting comment in the hands-on. Apparently the Windows XP versions of the S101 are shipping with the smaller 16GB SSD drives because of the following:
The reason for this — we’re informed — is that Microsoft won’t give Asus as big a discount on the Windows XP licence if it supplies XP on a netbook with SSDs larger than 16GB.
Weird indeed. In any case, Crave UK will have a full review up shortly but in the meantime, check out those pics! (above photos from Crave UK)
