Asus S101H To Feature Hard Drive

Word has it that Asus will be rolling out yet another variant of its 10.2″ netbook known as the S101, and this time round it will feature a standard hard drive instead of a solid state drive. This variant will come with a ‘H’ suffix, and judging by the S101′s thinness, it will probably be space starved to contain nothing larger than a 1.8″ hard drive, which ought to be sufficient to hold much more memory compared to the current SSD option that has a maximum capacity of 64GB. There is no word on pricing and availability of the S101H, but the inclusion of a hard drive would probably point towards a much cheaper price compared to the current $699 you have to fork out for the SSD-powered S101. Other features like the amount of RAM, Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity are expected to be retained as well.
