Although Asus in the UK remain tight lipped about this new product, in Taiwan, a new Eee PC has been made official.The Eee PC S101 is a bit of a departure for the range - described as an "exquisitely designed netbook for fashion forward individuals who view style as as much of a factor of success as substance".
