ASUS Launches the Eee PC X101H, the Thin and Lightweight Netbook
ASUS has launched the thin and lightweight netbook, the Eee PC X101H. Announced earlier this year at Computex, the X101H has a super thin 22mm profile and weighs 1.02kg so it is easily slipped in to bags for superior portability. Preloaded with the choice of either Windows® 7 Starter or MeeGO with 320GB HDD, the X101H allows users to stay connected to their favorite social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and more. The X101H model gives users the option to choose the environment they are more comfortable with. This is the perfect netbook as a first computer for kids, teens, as well as students.
Mobility achieved
The X101H comes with its thin profile of 22mm and a lightweight 1.02kg, yet is still equipped with all the standard netbook goods. It features the latest Intel® Atom™ N455 processor with 1GB of RAM, 2x USB 2.0 ports, a MicroSD Card reader, built-in webcam. ASUS Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) technology is also built-in to help conserve battery life for the X101H, which is available in a variety of colors including white, black, brown and red.
Staying social
The new MeeGo OS was developed to help users stay connected through a convenient, easy to use interface. With specific applications for Facebook, Twitter, as well as a dedicated instant messaging client, keeping up with friends has never been easier. Google’s Chromium browser is also built-in to the MeeGo for web surfing, while a variety of cloud-based services like asus@vibe, the asus appstore and the popular Dropbox online file storage are also available for use.
Computer aided learning
While the X101H is a great computer to stay connected, it is also a great tool to learn the world’s international language, English. Offered on the X101H is the British Council Learning Application, which comes in the form of a content bundle of interactive games, videos and mp3s which are pre-installed on the X101H. Over 300 pieces of material was developed by English Language Training (ELT) leaders and the British Council, with the application designed by Intel’s award winning Performance Learning Solutions.
