This week, ASUS made a big splash at the Computex 2011 with its tablet-smartphone combo, PadFone. However, the company also unveiled a new family member for its famous EEE PC line — the EEE PC X101.

The 10.1-inch netbook measures 0.7 inch thick, and offers a Meego-based option for only $200. Just for a quick memory job, Meego is a Linux-based OS developed by Intel and Nokia. With its slim form factor, the price is quite cheap. Aside from its Linux-based OS, other features that are keeping the EEE PC X101’s price affordable are its 3-cell battery and 8GB SSD storage.

The cost of a Windows 7 version is still unknown, while the release date for the X101 is yet to be announced. So just keep it posted here at GADG for more updates.
