Eee PC S101H Detailed Review

Arnold Zafra — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:05:02 +0000

Kamal of Gadgetmix got his hands on the classy netbook Eee PC S101H. I guess, you know by now what that H stands for, if not well it simply means that this version of the ultra-slim Eee PC has a HDD for storage instead of the SSD of its brother the Eee PC S101.

According to Kamal’s review, the Eee PC S101H is a sexy Eee PC taunting some luxurious design on some of its parts including some crystals on its hinges, and a glowing keyboard keys. Incidentally, talking about keyboard, the Eee PC S101H’s keyboard suffer the same problem as the Eee PC 1000H – that is the misplacement of the right shift key. And from the looks of it, it borrows the same keyboard desing as the 1000H – meaning it’s not the chicket-style keyboard similar to the 1000HE.

Kamal also noted the particularly slow boot-up time of the Eee PC S101H.

Battery life is also not as good as the 1000HE despite the fact that the S101H is also equipped with the Super Hybrid Engine Technology. Given that the S101H runs on Intel Atom N270, our favorite Eee PC 1000HE is still better in performance.

One key feature of the S101H is the touchpad which only have one bar below it. The S101H’s touchpad is easier to use according to Kamal. It supports multi-touch gestures, two finger scroll and zoom-in and zoom-out functions.

Ok, that’s all we have to tell you about the S101H. You may now head over to Gadgetmix.com for their full review of the Eee PC S101H.

Thanks Kamal!

The 3.5G enabled, large hard drive packing Asus Eee PC S101H has reportedly been released in Korea, where it is now available for purchase. The Asus Eee PC S101H is one of Asus’s high-end netbooks, sporting a 10.2-inch LED-backlit screen, Wi-Fi n and the aforementioned 3.5G antenna. As with all Asus netbooks, it should be well worth the money, if you’re willing to spend on a new netbook, that is.

Asus Eee PC S101, S101H and 1002HA compared

Our good buddy Peter at Portable Monkey has posted a slew of photos comparing the Asus S101, S101H and 1002HA. These three are among Asus’s highest in their high-end netbook category, and other manufacturers haven’t been able to match these in some aspects. Him summary of the netbook comparison goes:

The similarities of all three ASUS Eee PC S101, S101H and 1002HA can be confusing and honestly, I can’t see a point to the S101H. The S101H is as we know, “the S101 but with a hard disk drive, instead of an solid state disk” but it’s actually half way between the S101 and the 1002HA. The differences are all so minimal though and don’t amount to much. I would either stick to the 1002HA and save money, or go for complete mobility and battery life with the S101. The S101H is in the middle, no man’s land…

Fellow Eee PC news site Eee-pc.de has published photos of a side by side comparison of the Eee PC S101H and Eee PC S101. In the photos, the hard drive equipped S101H ends up looking thicker, though it is noted that both netbooks actually have hard drives installed, even the S101 that’s supposed to have an SSD for storage. Some people might view the thickness of the Eee PC S101H as a good thing, thinking it will help the product become more sturdy. But others will value the S101’s sexiness more. Whichever side you take, you might want to check out the rest of the photos in this mini photo shoot. Do so by going to the link below.
