Asus has launched the Asus Eee PC X101 netbook in India, pricing it at Rs. 12,499. Bearing a 10.1-inch display, what makes the Eee PC X101 different from other such offerings in the world is that it comes with MeeGo installed – not a more conventional distro version of Linux, or Windows 7 Starter edition, like most netbooks. It will come in three colours – brown, red and white.
Asus launched the Eee PC X101 in India ahead of most regions in the world, including Europe and the U.S. Taking a look at the netbook’s specifications, it becomes apparent that Asus is trying to make Eee PC X101 a combination of a netbook and tablet. It comes with an 8GB SSD inbuilt, 1GB of RAM, choice of an Intel Atom N435 or N455 processor, two USB2.0 ports, Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, a webcam, and a 3-cell battery that is rated to deliver up to 4 hours of battery life. The battery life, not extraordinarily long, is aided by Asus’ Super Hybrid Engine (SHE).
Asus’ Country Head, Alex Huang, commented on the launch of the tablet in India:
“In Asus X101 netbook we have integrated the consumer's productive needs with his lifestyle requirements to enrich our customers’ experience. I am sure this new offering will bring in substantial traction.”
