Asus S101 gets reviewed
The Asus S101 has only just been launched but it looks like mobilecomputermag are way ahead of the curve with this review. They’ve also got a huge selection of images for Asus fans to drool over.
Here’s some of the highlights from the S101 review:
- Price £449 - or there abouts
- 32GB SSD with the Linux variant and 16Gb with Windows
- At just under 1.1kg, it’s lighter than both the Eee PC 1000 and even the Eee PC 901
- The S101’s keyboard is identical to that on the Eee PC 1000 – same width, same key shape and size, same amount of travel
- A large touchpad, colour-matched to the lid, sitting in the expanse of brushed metal wrist-rest seemed to catch the reviewers eye
- Battery life - 3 hours and forty-five minutes under heavy load, and just over five hours in light-use
All in all, the reviewers over at mobilecomputingmag gave this latest netbook a big thumbs up. Ok, it’s a little pricey for a netbook but you remember that this is a high end device - if you want quality expect to pay for it.

The S101 does look very cool. I bought a 901 last year and took it away with us for 6 months as we travelled round the world. The 901 was brilliant, it let us backup and edit or photos easily, play movies on it when we were bored and most importantly connect to the WiFi that’s offered by most hostels/hotels now and Skype friends and family. After 6 months of being in a backpack it’s a little battered but still works 100%.
