Asus is pitching the Eee PC S101 at those who want a less toy-like Netbook, or anyone who doesn't want an expensive alternative such as the Sony Vaio TT, Toshiba Portege R500, Panasonic R7, or even Asus' own S and U series. Click on the photo above for more images.

Our friends at Crave UK got to play around with Asus' premium Eee PC S101, and they can't stop raving. Here's a taste of what they had to say:

We've just got our greasy palms on the brand-new Eee PC S101 and it is--hands down--the best Eee PC ever ever ever. Yes, we know we keep saying that with every new Netbook, but we really mean it this time. It's that awesome.

Our first impression was that it's extremely well-built, and way more stylish than Asus' standard Eee range. In fact, it's the most stylish Netbook on the market--eclipsing even the HP 2133 Mini-Note. The high-gloss mocha-brown lid, brushed aluminium wrist rest, and electro-plated frame are all stunning, with the only questionable point being the inclusion of a small Swarovski crystal in each of the hinge edges.

Wow, I am in the market for a netbook. Any details from Asus as to when this laptop with head to the states, price in dollars? I might just consider waiting for this one. There's not much selection with the 10 inch models.
