Still Waiting for the ASUS Eee PC X101

"ASUS has gone and made its super svelte Eee PC X101 official with a dedicated product page live on its site. We'd already gotten our hands-on with the crimson-colored ultraportable, but now there's a whole list of specs to flesh out this 920g wonder."

The specifications for the X101 do not look that impressive.  In fact, it looks a lot like many of the netbooks of years gone by.  Probably the biggest part of interest is the $199 price tag, which is finally starting to get the price of the netbook down to where it was originally supposed to be.  I do not see the X101 saving the netbook industry, however.  Netbooks will still play a wonderful role in our mobile computing, but tablets are the hot item, and what everyone is talking about.  You will definitely not impress anyone at Starbucks with one of these.
