The ASUS Eee PC S101
Trilogy of Netbooks
Undeniably, when the very first ASUS Eee PC came into being just shortly a year ago, demand for netbooks just skyrocketed without much prompting from the various manufacturers. Being one of the very first few manufacturers to introduce and popularize the netbook genre, ASUS seems bent in upping the ante with its latest range of netbook, the ASUS Eee PC S101. And since the netbook fad is one that's considerably mainstream, the S101 will cater to those with an eye on aesthetics more so than performance with three varying colors: Brown, Champagne or Graphite.
Nonetheless, performance will still be playing a major role in the S101. Here's another overview of the S101 and some of its key features for you to take stock of:

According to the specifications, the S101 would be one heck of a thin netbook, measuring in at almost 18mm in thickness. Furthermore, unlike its 1000 series netbook, the S101 manages to shed quite a bit of weight to its current 1kg measurement. Other bells and whistles added onto the S101 would include hi-definition audio CODEC, a multi-touch mouse pad (not exactly new since it has appeared on its previous Eee devices before) and interestingly, it also comes with a 30GB online storage, essentially increasing your storage space so long as you get yourself connected onto the net. We're getting a bit long-winded, so we'll let the images do the talking from now on.
Availability
According to ASUS, the S101 will be retail ready by the 24th of October, though choices will initially be limited to the Brown variant. Both the Champagne and Graphite variation will be available by November, and for all three versions, the retail price has been tagged at S$1098.
