Have you ever tried to work on a laptop and realized it’s just a little too big and bulky, especially when you’re traveling? Or have you ever tried to send an email on a Blackberry or a smart phone, but had difficulty typing on the tiny keys or touch screen? Maybe a netbook is the happy medium you need to run your business. These hybrid technology devices provide the power of a laptop with the convenience of a smart phone.
The Eee PC S101 netbook, offered by Asus, enables business and recreational users alike to take their digital world on-the-go with them. Asus' Eee PC S101 leads the pack of a new class of computers designed to marry the portability of a smart phone with the computing power of a laptop.
Don't judge a book by its cover
Netbooks dwarf their laptop brethren, measuring between nine and 11 inches, making them easy to carry along. Simultaneously, netbooks outpace smart phones donning full scale processors and ample memory. The most defining characteristic of a netbook is clearly its solid state drive (SSD). SSD is an alternative technology to the classic Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that perfectly fits the netbook’s performance niche, allowing it to strike a balance between performance and mobility.

Getting this Eee PC on the move is a cinch. Weighing in at just two pounds, it isn't a burden to carry. Measuring little more than 10 inches wide, this netbook will fit just fine in bookbags, briefcases, purses, or effortlessly tucked under an arm as well. Once you move out, the S101 will keep your business, or pleasure, right there at your fingertips with its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. The S101 even comes with 30 Gigabytes of online storage to store additional data.
Speed and stamina
Don't confuse this PC’s scant dimensions for a lack of power. The S101 boasts an Intel Atom N270 processor and a full Gigabyte of RAM, putting many older desktops to shame. The S101's battery, while slender, can go nearly 5 hours between charges. To put the icing on the cake: solid-state drives, such as those used by Eee PCs, run data access laps around traditional hard drives.
Battle ready elegance
The S101's 32 Gigabytes is enough for storing documents, publications, and spreadsheets. This is likely too small for your MP3 library though. You'll want to take advantage of the online storage for those. What the SSD lacks in capacity, it makes up for in shock protection; Even after a drop, your data is safe. Under shock-free conditions your SSD won't live as long as a traditional HDD, so make sure to use online storage to keep a backup, too.
Good things come in small packages
Asus' Eee PC S101 is clearly a sophisticated machine. It keeps your business just a mouse-click away. Harnessing the power of SDDs and a new generation of hardware, Eee PC can deliver the performance you need for editing documents, updating a presentation, recording a sale, or video chatting with your family at home. It does it all without clunky hardware to haul. Give your business technology a shot in the arm by tucking an Eee PC under yours.
