The typical mini-notebook chassis has come a long way since ASUS started the category with its toy-like Eee PC 701 less than a year ago. The S10, like the recently released Dell Inspiron Mini 9, represents the next phase in mini-notebook design. It looks and feels solid, and it's rather stylish to boot.
The S10's good looks are rooted in simplicity rather than bling. The chassis is made from a shiny, but not glossy, plastic that resists fingerprints. The hinges, which also contain a hole for a Kensington lock, have a tasteful matte-steel finish. The flat, rounded edges give the notebook a very thin, symmetrical design. The space-age blue status lights and color-coordinated wire mesh, which covers both the front-mounted speaker bar and the area above the keyboard, project a futuristic minimalism.
Placed next to two competing 10-inch netbooks, theASUS Eee PC 1000Hand theMSI Wind, the S10 appears definitively thinner, though it's not necessarily lighter. Our review unit featured a three-cell battery and tipped the scales at 2.6 pounds, which was the same weight as the six-cell MSI Wind, but 0.6 pounds lighter than the 3.2-pound Eee PC 1000H.
