So you’ve always wanted to get an Eee PC but wished it could look a lot better? Here it is—basically a repackaged form of the Eee PC 1000 is the new Asus Eee PC S101. Netbooks are supposed to be low-cost portable systems, but with the number of Eee PCs Asus is churning out, it’s no wonder the company has thought of coming up with a stylish model.

The Asus Eee PC S101 is only 25mm thick and 1kg in weight with a 10.2-inch LED-backlit display. The display coupled with the 1.6GHz Atom processor means the netbook is energy efficient. It even employs the use of Super Hybrid Engine that optimizes the processor based on what you’re doing on the computer to save energy. All the factors combined enable the Eee PC S101 to be used around five hours running on battery. The Asus Eee PC S101 is equipped with a multi-touch trackpad and will be available in champagne, brown, and graphite for around AU$899. Would you pay more than what the Eee PC 1000 costs for a version that only looks better?
