ASUS Launches Fashion-Friendly Netbook: Eee PC S101

ASUS has launched the Eee PC S101, a stylishly designed netbook for fashion conscious individuals, who view style as much of a factor of success as substance. The Eee PC S101 builds upon the form factor, ergonomics and features of its predecessors but boasts a revamped exterior in three gorgeous colors—brown, champagne or graphite—accentuated with details such as premium Infusion finishes and crystal-adorned hinges, offering a melding of fashion and functionality.

“The ASUS Eee PC S101 has raised the bar for netbooks. Customers now have more choices in terms of style without compromising on functionality. We expect Eee PC S101 to lead our netbook sales in India,” said Stanley Wu, country head – Notebook Business, ASUS (India).

Features

The Eee PC S101 supports Wi-Fi 802.11n, enabling high speed Internet access virtually anywhere. It also features Bluetooth V2.0, ensuring fast and convenient connectivity with a vast range of Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Every Eee PC S101 comes with an encrypted 20 GB Internet storage facility known as Eee Storage, allowing users to store and subsequently access their important documents and media securely whenever, wherever. The Eee S101 will be available in two variants - a 16GB solid state drive and a 160 GB hard disk drive model. Rounding off the Eee PC S101’s comprehensive storage capabilities is an integrated 4-in-1 flash card reader that supports more formats than other Eee PC models. The supported flash memory types are MMC, SD, Memory Stick and MS-PRO.

The Eee PC S101 is also equipped with a vibrant 10.2” wide active matrix LED-backlit display, which is capable of running at WSVGA resolution, thus providing more-than-ample space for viewing documents and perusing other media.

Battery Life

The Eee PC S101 features the Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), which greatly enhances its energy efficiency, letting users enjoy longer battery life per charge—enabling up to five hours of continuous use—thus eliminating the need to lug power adapters along with them. SHE also offers a choice of performance and power consumption modes that allows users to make easy adjustments to suit their usage scenarios.
