LaptopMag reviews the ASUS Eee PC S101 – it’s beautiful and thin but it makes tradeoffs

ASUS S101

LaptopMag is out with one of the first reviews for the new ASUS Eee PC S101 netbook. The S101 is thinner, lighter, and more stylish than all previous Eee PC models yet features standard netbook components such as an Intel Atom processor, a 10.2 inch display, SSD, media card reader, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, Ethernet, 1GB RAM, and a built-in webcam.

Now the real question is – are the improved looks, thinner and lighter form factor, and stylish design enough to warrant higher prices when the system specs are otherwise the same as other net\books? Here’s what LaptopMag thinks of the system:

“The Eee PC S101 ($699) is hands-down the best looking mini-notebook we have seen, and its thin size and small footprint make it a machine that you’ll want to show off to the world. However, the chunkier but cheaper Eee PC 1000H ($479) features a longer-lasting six-cell battery and a much larger 160GB hard drive. Similarly, our category favorite, the MSI Wind (street-priced as low as $479) also sports a better six-cell battery and a larger hard drive, plus a better keyboard than either Eee PC”
