Asus Eee PC S101 - Gorgeous, Quirky and Overpriced

When the first Asus netbook came out, it was fantastic. What was fantastic? The price. Cheap enough to buy on impulse. You can really throw the small thing into your bag and type something at the coffee shop.

With the S101, it just makes me think about the macbook air.

Gorgeous points to ponder.

• Less than 1 inch thick.
• Shiny body.
• Luxurious mocha-copper brown coating.

Quirky points to ponder.

• The logo is somewhat cheap looking.
• XP almost makes anything gorgeous look dull.
• Bigger than 901.

Overpriced pointed to ponder.

• The original Asus was so cheap, it made netbooks fun.
• The price for the S101 is not fun.
• 20GBs of included online storage floating somewhere.
