New Notebook Asus Boasts Added Performance Features for Versatile Mobile Computing As the recipient of the prestigious red dot design award 2009, the exquisitely designed ASUS S121 is a versatile mobile computing companion for individuals who view their notebooks not only as tools, but also as accessories that complement their diverse lifestyles. Powered by an Intel® Atom Processor Z520 and Windows XP™ Home edition, the ASUS S121 provides extensive multi-tasking capabilities and mobile performance, enabling it a highly capable tool in the office, while providing style and sophistication in the trendiest parts of town after hours.
Enjoy All-Day Computing with Extended Battery Life
The ASUS S121 features the exclusive Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) which greatly enhances the notebook’s energy efficiency, letting users enjoy longer battery life per charge—enabling longer hours of continuous computing. SHE also offers a choice of performance and power consumption modes that allow users to make quick and easy adjustments to suit their usage scenarios. In addition, SHE has the ability to intelligently boost system performance under heavy load, thus enabling the notebook to meet the demands of processor and resource-intensive tasks.
An Award Winning Marque of Exquisite Taste and Design
The ASUS S121 sports a majestic glossy brown Infusion finish that graces the LCD lid, while Swarovski® crystals masterfully imbedded into intricately crafted metallic hinges add a touch of class, reminiscent of a pair of marquis-cut diamond cuff-links on a business suit. The pièce de résistance, a luxurious and elegant leather palm rest, completes the ASUS S121—a celebration of high fashion and functionality.
Substance in Equal Measure to Style
Head-turning looks aside, the ASUS S121 also packs substance in the form of a suite of user-friendly features. Equipped with a 12.1” energy saving LED backlight display, the S121 provides comfortable viewing for documents, multimedia and Internet browsing without eye strain. Users who require a larger storage space for business or school will appreciate hard disk drive storage options up to 250GB, while users who travel frequently and need instantaneous data access while on the move can choose a Solid State Drive (SSD) of up to 128GB. SSDs offer absolute data protection by resisting shocks and knocks, and deliver excellent data writing and retrieval speeds. SSDs also operate silently and consume significantly less power as compared to conventional storage drives.
