ASUS EEEPC 1008HANicknamed Seashell, the EeePC 1008 HA is a cut above the previous models, mainly because of its looks and design. It is sleek, sexy, and very stylish. So far netbook manufacturers have paid most of their attention to features and convenience, but this baby is sure to win a lot of hearts. Since the Seashell has hardware and features that are common to most netbooks, there isn't much to speak in this regard. The closest match to its configurations is the 1000HE. Built around the Intel 945 chipset, this netbook is powered by an Atom N280 processor, has 1GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive. What caught our attention the most was the slim design-it is as thin as a thumb and is the lightest netbook available. The all-black glossy body, attractive touchpad, great keyboard and an overall slick finish is what makes this netbook one of the most attractive ones out there. Underneath these flaps are 2 USB ports, audio jacks and an Ethernet jack. Only two things are without flaps, a multi-card reader and a power jack. Asus has bundled a USB-to-VGA dongle, which co0nnects to a tiny USB port and this dongle is smartly nestled in a compartment underneath the unit. In addition to the looks and design, even its build quality is worth the praise. The combination of qualities such as strong hinges, light weight and overall ruggedness is usually hard to find in netbooks and laptops.
Performance-wise, the Seashell will suffice for most office application, Internet surfing, video conferencing, chatting, watching movies, light gaming, emails and so on. Even the battery runtime of this netbook is quite impressive-up to 6 hours.
