Asus S121 Goes Big With Optional 512 GB SSD

The 12-inch S121 Netbook from Asus will pack a healthy wallop for those who can afford the upgrade. At a price of “quite a bit” — so, nothing concrete yet — the laptop can be set up with a 512 GB solid state drive. We also hear that the machine uses an Intel Z520 processor and Asus’s Super Hybrid Engine Technology, and can hold a charge for eight hours. All that in under three pounds.  [Gizmodo via Akihabara News]
