Excellent Laptop

Mar 2, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Superlight, great battery life, good screen
Cons: hard disk is too small
Opinion:
Good looking, small and light machine with a long-lasting battery (5 hours). Doesn't have independent pg-up/pg-dn keys but the Multi-touch trackpad provides those functions.

Only gripe is the less than sufficient hard-drive - just 16GB, though it comes with a 16GB SD card and 30GB online storage. Makes you think about what you want to keep on the computer, and forces you to carry an external hard drive with you, which kind of negates the weight advantage.

As for the Atom processor, since i dont do any gaming on my computer anymore, and have never needed to run any advanced mathematical models, am wondering why bought large, heavy laptops with ripsnorting processors all these years.

Adding in the expressgate feature would have made it even better.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: It is slim, it is light and it is CHEAP
Cons: Processing power, price premium?
Opinion:
It is easy to push this against notebooks that have better processors and more RAM. One need to note that those notebooks uses Vista and thus need more processing power.

Time to calm down and think what you REALLY need to do on that laptop. Chances are you won't need those huge power hogger applications and only use it for Internet and Email.

If my EeePC 1000H is any indication to the S101, this notebook if paired with the right software would do as well as any notebook.

Just to share what I put in my 1000H
a) Photoshop 7 Slightly worse off than Elements 5 but still extremely usable on the road. Open source? GIMP is very good as well for this
b) Open office (Does well with powerpoint and article writing)
c) Latest Firefox.
d) Latest IE
e) GOM player
f) Free RAM XP Pro

I should say, it work flawlessly well. Just ... Read more
