Pink Asus Eee PC S101 Unboxed

While the Asus Eee PC S101 pink version is currently available only in Japan and Taiwan, Pixiestash has ordered a unit of the pink S101 from Taiwan through Ebay, and posted the first impression together with some pictures on the blog.

"My first impression is that the S101 is a class act all the way. The box is matte black with a subtle “Eee PC” embossed in silver. A far cry from my Blush Pink 701 from last February, the S101 has an equivalent-sized body but a 3″ larger screen. Its SSD hard drive is 3 times larger and the battery life is more than double. But the real difference is in the fit and finish - my 701 looked like a Hello Kitty toy, but the pink S101 is sleek, shiny, and all grown up. The metal parts are not chrome but understated gunmetal, and the crystals embedded in either end of the hinge are subtly sparkly. The keyboard is unfortunately not pink, but the palm rest and multitouch trackpad are brushed metal and color-matched to the pink cover. Even the case is classier than the 701’s, in brown, padded ultrasuede with matching drawstring bag for the cable and power brick."
