Asus Eee PC S101 (black)

Upscale brushed-metal design outshines other Netbooks ; almost as slim as the MacBook Air

More expensive than similar Netbook configurations ; hard-to-use, tiny keyboard

Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, but some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises make the S101 harder to use than it should be.

It's readable, but most documents and Web pages will require some scrolling. Asus Eee PC S101Average for category [netbook]VideoVGA-outVGA-outAudioStereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacksheadphone/microphone jacksData3 USB 2.0, SD card reader2...

ASUS S101 Netbook

By Jason Jacobs

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years you are probably familiar with the new breed of laptops to hit the market. These ultra-portable, ultra-lightweight, and usually very cheap PC's have flooded online stores and even the ...

So what we have here is a netbook that is targeted towards a high end consumer. Someone focused upon looks and form more than function. The S101 certainly has all of the functionality of 90% of other netbooks on the market, indeed including some added ...

ASUS Eee PC S101 (XP)

By Joanna Stern

This premium mini-notebook is gorgeous and strikingly thin, but you have to be willing to make some trade-offs in the name of fashion.

Head-turning, fashionable design, Multi-touch trackpad, Spacious keyboard, Included 30GB of online storage

Relatively expensive, No extended battery option, Awkwardly placed right Shift key

The touchpad has been remolded for the S101; it's coated in a brushed metal, which gives it a smooth yet textured feel. The dedicated left and right buttons from the 1000H have been replaced with a single bar that's more comfortable and easy to press

Asus Eee PC S101

By Rory Reid

This 10-inch netbook is the best-looking thing we've ever seen, with its luxuriously glossy brown lid. The current Windows XP version will ship with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU and 1GB of DDR2 667MHz RAM -- the staple underpinnings of most netbooks. ...

Styling ; keyboard

Storage is split across a SSD and SD

The S101 is a stunning netbook -- the best we've seen to date. Its battery life isn't quite as good as its some of its bedfellows, and it's a little more expensive, but it's the perfect choice if your mission is to make the Joneses look poor

Those familiar with the Eee range will have noticed that the Eee PC S101 uses a completely new chassis, which is both thinner and lighter than Asus' previous efforts. The Eee PC 1000H lasted around 3 hours 56 minutes, while the smaller Eee PC 901...
