COMPUTEX 2011: ASUS Eee PC X101 MeeGo netbook

The X101 is the next evolution of the Eee PC netbook, which was originally created by ASUS and took the world by storm 4 years ago. As you can see, it's quite thin with a profile of only 17.6mm and weighs in at under 1kg. Hardware wise, it's got all the features of a standard netbook, including 802.11b/g and n wifi, Bluetooth 3.0, a webcam, 2 usb ports, an Ethernet connection and a built in SD card reader. It's powered by Intel's latest dual-core atom processor. Depending on the model there's an 8gb ssd or 250gb hdd version. The software is where the X101 is different as it features Intel's new open source operating system, MeeGo. The MeeGo OS is designed for the user that's always on the go, yet wants to stay connected. It has specific applications for accessing social media sites like Facebook, twitter or flickr, much like a smartphone would run. For those who are a bit more traditional, there's also a model with Windows 7 Starter edition. When paired with Instant On capability, the OS quickly boots back up in a matter of seconds, and has a super long idle mode at up to 3 weeks.
