The new Asus S101 notebook seeks to occupy the same space (or lack thereof) as the MacBook Air and similar ultra-slim, ultra-portable devices, albeit with lower specs and a lower price. With an extremely slim 0.7-inch thickness and weighing 2.2-pounds,  the notebook sports a 10.2-inch LED backlit screen with 1024 x 600 resolution, 802.11n and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, 1GB RAM, and an Intel Atom CPU. Prices range from $699 for the 16GB Windows XP or 32GB Linux models to $799 for the 64GB Linux model and comes in three colors--brown, champagne, and graphite.
