CNet got their hands on the Asus Eee PC S101, the upscale version in the line and had some great things to say about it.  All in all the review was positive, but at $650+ is a steep price to pay for a netbook.  The one area where the S101 shines is with battery life.

This can be chalked up to two things.  One it uses an SSD hard drive.  Since as much as energy isn’t spend retrieving data from the drive it’s able to help keep the battery from draining as quickly.  Second is that it’s has 2GB of RAM.  By having more memory it’s able to execute tasks faster.  With the system having more resources to open and switch between programs the overall impact makes the product more energy efficient.
