It’s turning into a whole day of the ASUS S101, but we can’t quite get enough of what’s proving to be ASUS’ slickest netbook yet. After the live shots and the press shots, we now have the review; Mobile Computer Mag have the luxury netbook (an oxymoron, you’d think) on their bench, and put it through its paces compared to what lesser models have to offer.
We’ve seen live images but this press shot of the ASUS S101 is the first time I’ve seen the luxury “fashion” netbook in something other than brown – an acquired taste, to be sure. The ASUS Eee PC S101 is the company’s high-end netbook, complete with an 18-25mm thick chassis, a minimum of 16GB SSD storage and an included 16GB SD card to boost that storage.

The ASUS S101 netbook went official last week and is already parading its super-skinny form to the admiring crowds. Engadget China grabbed some hands-on photos of ASUS’ so-called luxury “fashion” netbook, and it certainly looks to be thinner – 18-25mm in fact – and a more mature design than we’ve seen in other ASUS budget ultraportables.
With economies around the globe sliding sourly down the pan, it seems an unusual time to announce a $1,600 chair. Still, if people are going to be sitting glumly, contemplating their sinking shares, they may as well have something ergonomically sound to do it on: enter Herman-Miller and their latest uber-chair, the Embody. Follow-up to the iconic Aeron, the Embody takes that fourteen year old design and adds even more flexibility and support.
ASUS has officially announced the S101 netbook, its “fashion forward” model with higher specs than the traditional Eee PC range. The S101 has the usual 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU paired with a 10.2-inch WSVGA display with LED-backlight, SSD storage up to 64GB and WiFi 802.11n. It’ll be available in brown, champagne and graphite.
Say what you like about the Lamborghini Estoque concept – and some will love it, some will hate it - but it certainly sticks in your head. Lamborghini’s four-door 170mph saloon has been wowing crowds at the Paris autoshow, and Autoblog stopped by to grab some photos. In the metal, the Estoque apparently works as a more coherent design, although they do suggest that it might have been rushed together to meet the deadline and could do with “a couple more drafts”.

ASUS’ upcoming S101 netbook – which company CEO Jerry Shen insists is not an Eee – was expected to launch in September. Instead all we have is this recently discovered photo, which seems to picture the Atom-based ultraportable in its identity-confused phase as it still has the Eee logo on the lid.
Oh. My. Gosh. It’s not often that I’m at a loss for words over a piece of tech, but this DINO200 Animated T-Rex Skeleton is just so incredibly awesome I can’t find a big enough adjective.
The Universal Remote Control MX-6000 is no ordinary remote. In fact, it’s not even an ordinary universal remote. This thing is a luxury item and typically would only be available as a part of a professional installation package. You can’t just hop over to your local electronics store for this one.
As company names go, you can’t exactly accuse iBuyPower of disguising their purpose in life. The company has taken the wraps off of its latest gaming PC, the Paladin 998, and while it, too, won’t win any prizes for subtlety it could nonetheless find some fans among gamers. In its standard configuration, inside the Cooler Master HAF 932 case lurks an Intel Core 2 Quad Processor (Q9550), 4GB of DDR-3 1333 memory and a 500GB SATA-2 7,200rpm hard-drive, together with ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics. However, throw your credit card at the options list and you can specify an even more impressive machine.
