Compare Prices : Asus EEE PC S101 - Expert Reviews

Award: Recommended!

Review summary: Asus gives the Eee PC brand the business class treatment with its latest incarnation, the Eee PC S101.

Review summary: 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.

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

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

Verdict: 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

Review summary: The original and the best?

Pros: Great design, amazing battery life

Cons: Expensive

Verdict: The most expensive Eee PC to date is worth every penny, as it's simply a stunning netbook

Review summary: 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. ...

Pros: Styling ; keyboard

Cons: Storage is split across a SSD and SD

Verdict: 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

Review summary: Eee PC gets pimped

Pros: Portability; Hardware

Cons: Battery life

Verdict: Would you believe it? They've done it again, this is the greatest Eee PC that ever was.
