Asus reveals the 64GB SSD-equipped Eee PC S101

It looks like the onslaught of the Eee PC lineup will continue, and not only with more models, but more expensive models. It seems the latest to be revealed, the Eee PC S101 is going to be the high-end or luxury model in the lineup.

While the details for the S101 are not yet officially set in stone, the early specs are calling for a 10-inch LED backlit display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, Intel Atom processor, an option for either a 32 or 64GB SSD, and a battery that will offer around 4-5 hours of use. The S101 be available in either a coffee brown or white casing and measure in at around 0.87-inches thick and weigh just 2.2-pounds.

While the details sound good so far, the price as you would expect is quite a bit more than those original Eee models, estimates are calling for the 32GB SSD model to retail for $699 with the 64GB SSD model coming in at $899. Nothing has been announced officially, however the S101 is expected to make its debut this coming September.
