ASUS announces Eee PC S121

Bigger screen, better keyboard and browner brown

Asus is obviously happy with the performance of its upmarket Eee PC model, the S101, as it has now seen fit to grant it a successor.

The S121 comes with many familiar netbook specs - the Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM and choice of OS. However, it steps outside the norm with the inclusion of a WiFi-N connectivity. It is also offers a couple of marginal improvements over its predecessor – the screen is now 12.1” and it is expected to come with hybrid SSD/HDD storage and a full sized keyboard.

It has retained the trademark “exquisite” brown stylings, which this time looks to be a little deeper than those found on the S101 chassis and will surely go nicely with your autumn apparel. We’re still waiting for price and availability details, but we’d be expecting something around the £500 mark. More info as we get it.

When is a netbook not a netbook??

Surely 12.1" is closing the border to laptop size a bit too much?

And £500? That amount of money could by you a fairly well specced laptop.

People went to netbooks because they were small and cheap, this isn't either so I'm a bit puzzled as to who would buy it?
