Asus has added to its netbook family with the Eee PC S101
device.
The
Windows XP- or Linux-driven S101 comes in a brown, champagne or
graphite exterior with crystal-adorned hinges.
"Users can carry themselves with effortless grace, without the
slouching and strain that often plagues users of regular
notebooks", said Asus.
The netbook is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth short-range
wireless, and comes with an encrypted 20GByte internet storage
facility known as Eee Storage.
Also keeping users´ data safe is the Eee PC S101´s shockproof

as silent operation and reduced energy consumption. The SSD comes
in capacities of up to 64GBytes.
The Eee PC S101 is equipped with a 10.2in wide active matrix
LED-backlit display and a five-hour battery. The price of the
