Reception

The Eee PC S101 received generally favorable reviews from members of the press.

TrustedReviews noted that the S101 visually "pushes all the right buttons" and that overall they believe that the S101 "deserves a recommendation because it's discernibly different from what else is available - something you can't say that often."
