When was the last time Asus came up with a very good and sensible product? I do not remember due to my poor memory. But if you are affected by the same memory lapse, think no further. Asus has really done a wonderful job by making 2.2lbs, 0.7 inches thin (a bit thicker than the Air) and 10.2″ LED screen with 1024×600 resolution laptop named Asus S101.

Technical Specifications

  • CPU: Intel Atom Intel
  • Memory: 1 GB DDR2 RAM
  • Storage: Solid State Drive 16 GB/ 32 GB/ 64 GB
    20 GB eee storage
  • Weight: 1 Kg

Other Features

The best feature of ASUS S101 is its price, lol. But let us go for the technical specification now.

  • Ethernet port
  • Bluetooth
  • Multitouch trackpad
  • 4-in-1 card reader
  • 20GB of free online storage and high quality speakers

Price

So here we are for the most talked after point in this topic.

The listed price is

  1. 16GB SSD, 16GB SD, Windows XP: $699
  2. 32GB, Linux: $699
  3. 64GB, Linux: $799

Our Verdict

Despite having a low profiled hardware specification, if you are a stylish gadget lover and couldn’t because of the towering prices of Macbooks, then here is a chance for you to have a no-nonsense laptop. The higher storages don’t support Windows XP (God knows why! Doesn’t ASUS want to increase it sells?), the battery life is still poorer. But then again, to win some you will have to lose some. So own your style with ASUS if you are ready for small compromises.
