Many of the basic specs found in the 80 G9 are also in the 101 G9 including ports, the 1.5 GHz processor, front-facing camera specs, and connectivity. The biggest difference with the 101 is the 10.1-inch screen size with 1280-by-800 resolution.

The 101 G9 will be available with 16GB of flash storage for $399 or a 250GB HDD for $469. The flash storage version is half-an-inch thick and weighs just over 1.4 pounds; the HDD model has a 0.61-inch thickness and tips the scales at 1.66 pounds. The 101 will also be available in October, but a specific launch date was not announced.

Both 80 G9 and the 101 G9 feature a similar body design.
