AnandTech - ASUS Eee PC X101: Running MeeGo, Windows Optional

@nadamany the UX32, not the thinner UX31, has a single SO-DIMM slot. Only qualified for up to 4GB, 8GB should work but not 100% yet

Just a little Jay-Z and SSD testing, maybe even building a new HTPC for the theater

ASUS' Zenbook Prime UX21A now in Bench: http://t.co/o8WRdDKX

@JonWorrel the UX21A, the review just posted: http://t.co/LN9GNdiY

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant there's progress, just not along this one vector. that will come too.

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant hangon now: 19x10 in an 11.6-inch form factor, much better CPU perf, much better wifi, USB 3, etc...

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant wait seriously it is?!? is that why all of my machines are running so slow? :-P

@DrPizza @babgvant @mcrommert welcome to the world of appliance computing, just upgrade again next year when you need more memory

@babgvant @DrPizza @mcrommert I agree that I would like to see more, but 4GB with an SSD is definitely usable for most client workloads

Running a cTDP battery life test on the Zenbook Prime at 13W while I prepare the V4 1.4 on the SSD testbed

Wondering on the Spec. by iwod on Monday, May 30, 2011

Intel said their next gen 32nm Atom will cost 30 - 40% less. Which is a good thing since they are too expensive for what they are used anyway.

But will this new X101 be using 32nm Atom? Dual Core? Or am i asking a bit too much for $199. :P

RE: Wondering on the Spec. by Andrew Rockefeller on Monday, May 30, 2011

At 1.5GHz, the N550 is a good guess:

The Z670 is the only other 1.5GHz Atom, but I suspect it'd be woefully inappropriate:

Edit: Ppl are reporting that it's an N435 (yet to be released)

RE: Wondering on the Spec. by Kristian Vättö on Monday, May 30, 2011

We may see an updated Atom lineup in Q3. That would just be a change in clocks though with possible price cuts. 32nm Atoms will come in 2012 IIRC.

Battery? by Alien959 on Monday, May 30, 2011

My question is about size-capacity of the battery. I hope they use big enough battery I expect at list 9+ hours on this thing or am I aking too much for 199$. :)

Oak trail performance` by tipoo on Monday, May 30, 2011

Oak trial is meant to be a low power part for tablets, isn't it? I wonder how its performance compares to Atom's made for netbooks?

If you have an old copy of xp laying around will you be able to buy this for 199 and put xp on it without any issues?
