  • Get over hang-ups about built-in batteries and youll see the 1008HA as not just a very, very sexy, slimline netbook but as an eminently portable and a powerful one too. The only aspect we dont like is the very limited upgrade path. Wed like the pri...

  • Without properly benchmarking the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell, we cant give a definitive verdict. But the early signs look good, and we think the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell will be a winner. Darren Gladstone Buy it now: click here ...

  • The Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell takes the slim profile of a MacBook Air and crosses it with netbook specs and size to come up with the most stylish, efficient ultra portable we've ever had the chance to play with. This is bound to trigger copycat comp...

  • Comfortable keyboard and mouse; lightweight chassis; excellent styling
  • Battery isn't user-replaceable; no 3G
  • The Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is better-looking and more portable than the vast majority of its 10-inch rivals. Based on that fact alone, it's worthy of recommendation. It's worth noting, however, that its battery isn't user-replaceable, and you won't ge...
