I have to say, the Eee PC S101 may be one of the sleekest looking netbooks in the Eee PC lineup, but Asus hasn’t really spent much time promoting this netbook since last year. Instead, the company has moved on to its new “Seashell” line of netbooks including the Eee PC 1005HA, Eee PC 1008HA, and upcoming Eee PC 1101HA….

That fake Acer Aspire One we spotted yesterday isn’t the only name-brand netbook clone popping up in China. The folks at Shanzhaiben have uncovered an Asus Eee PC S101 clone as well. The knockoff appears to have very similar specs to the original Eee PC S101. Both netbooks have 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel displays, Intel Atom N270 processors,…

Computer maker Huawei is showing off a 10 inch netbook at the CommunicAsia trade show. The computer uses an Intel Atom CPU, has 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. It also has an integrated  UMTS wireless broadband modem. But the other striking thing about this netbook is that it looks kind of familiar. As Netbook News.de points out,…

The Asus Eee PC S101 is thin, light, and overall a very sleek looking machine. But in order to keep the size and weight down, Asus threw in a relatively small battery that sits flush with the base of the computer. And that makes it hard to throw in an extended battery without making the computer look absolutely ridiculous. Case…

[/caption] CeBIT begins this week, and even though Asus just unveiled a whole slew of new Eee PC branded products at CES in January, the company has a few new goodies to show off in Hannover, Germany. And according to DigiTimes, that includes the new Eee PC 1008HA Shell, which we first heard about just a few days ago. The…

Over the last year, a bunch of companies have relased a bunch of mini-laptops with incredibly similar specs. You don’t know how tired I’ve grown of typing “1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP Home.” But when the main specs are so similar, you can really focus on the little…

Some netbooks like the Asus Eee PC 900 or 1000H or the MSI Wind seem like they’re built for third party batteries. Since the batteries Asus and MSI ship with these mini-laptops already stick out from the bottom or back of the unit, it’s not that hard for third party battery makers to create extended batteries that provide extra run…

Super Talent is pushing a new line of solid state disks for the Asus Eee PC S101 (or any other netbook that can accept a mini-PCIe card).  The SSDs feature maximum read speeds of 90MBps and write speeds of 55MBps. 16GB, 32Gb, and 64Gb versions are available. These are MLC or multi-level cell” based chips, which means they’re relatively inexpensive…

The Asus Eee PC S101H is basically just an Eee PC with a hard drive instead of a solid state disk. I got a chance to see one at CES, but didn’t think too much of it since it seemed to have pretty much the exact same specs as the Eee PC S101, right down to the 10.4″ x 7.1″…

That pink Eee PC S101 mini-laptop Asus launched in Japan last month is now shipping. PixieStash picked one up and posted a few up close and personal shots with the new netbook. The laptop is actually a combination of black, pink and silver. The paint job looks very professional, and has a nice shine to it. And even the wrist…

Asus may be preparing to launch a new mini-laptop, which Fudzilla reports will be called the Eee PC S101H. The company’s Eee PC S101 netbook is the thinnest netbook in the Eee PC line, and at 2.4 pounds, it’s the lightest netbook with a 10.2 inch display that Asus offers. While there’s no official word on what features will make…

Asus has been pretty consistent about calling low cost laptops with 10.2 inch or smaller screens netbooks while labeling anything with a larger display as a notebook. And that’s why the Asus S121 notebook is not officially part of the computer maker’s Eee PC line. But that doesn’t mean that the 12.1 inch notebook doesn’t look exactly like the Asus…
