Asus EeePC X101 vs EeePC 1011px - Video Review

This video review takes a look at the new, super-slim Asus EeePC X101 and compares it to the upgraded, but more mainstream EeePC 1011px netbook. Plenty of details and even a performance comparison. Both are running Ubuntu Ubermix, which you can learn more about at http://goo.gl/Ab9R

Is the slim one (x101) in the uk? i cant seem to find it

[jnetman1]

@TheJENNINGSs I'm not seeing it anywhere there either. Was supposed to be released in both countries at the same time. Not sure why it isn't there yet.

We've been buying the 1011px, but seriously considering the X101 for the future - video out is the only thing holding me back. Could always buy each class a USB VGA adapter, but would need to work on an easy to use interface for it. Using one is still a pretty clunky affair.

I'm not aware of a dual-core with solid state, but hopefully the X101 is a sign of things to come from Asus.

I really like the x101, but need Windows for work. I have preordered one and my plan is to upgrade the SSD for more storage and then install Win XP on it. Is the SSD easily accessible for a user upgrade? Thanks, and thanks for the video.

I look at the internet today and find out that the new version of x101h of this has a dual core n570 atom with 2 cores and 4 threads,.It has also larger hdd with 320g compared to 250g of 1011px but with a 3 cell battery so it will not last a couple of 4-5hours. Also the x101h in our country is much cheaper than the 1011px. So which do i choose? x101h with low battery or the 1011px with 6cell battery?

@jnetman1 Im having the same problem really, the 1011px appears on plenty of websites but the other doesn't. What also buggs me is that the 1011px is £300 normally which roughly amounts to $420 (why is it so much in the UK?). You might be lucky to find it on sale for £200 but even then it still adds up to $308 US dollars ; yet you get it for the very good price of around $270.

Excellent review. I have an Eee PC 700 that I'm finding v difficult to update the OS - I don't think it's easy to do on this machine, it's almost 4 yrs old. And I want to use a Linux OS netbook.

I really like the Eee PC X101 - the SSD and the $200 price. I'm willing to try the MeeGo OS but if I were to download Ubuntu - which I've never done - are there SIMPLE step-by-step instructions to get a 'Live' version onto the X101? I don't want to use Windows - me no like!
