  • Somewhere along the way
  • A USB port has been lost compared to previous numbers - there are just two tucked away on the sides - and the doors they live behind can be a bit too tough to prise open. The screen is almost as dim as Kerry Katona too
  • But these...

  • Though much of what stands out about the 'shell is aesthetic, its skinnier form factor makes for a more enjoyable user experience. Add to that the excellent trackpad, sweet keyboard, and slightly pumped battery life, and you have a pretty nice package her...

  • Thin and light, Excellent battery life, Cool builtin VGA adapter
  • Integrated battery, Weak VGA output performance, Bad touchpad buttons
  • At first glance, the new Seashell might not seem like an extraordinary netbook. Indeed, with so many netbooks using the same processor, integrated graphics, and standard 10-inch display, there isnt much on paper to make this netbook stand out in a crowd...

  • Abstract:  Its thin, sleek, and light, and at least one Macworld editor is eyeballing it with interest. Nevertheless, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA netbook is no MacBook. Asus seems to be spitting out new additions to its netbook line faster than I can count. (Who can ...

  • Slimmer and sexier design than the 1000HE. Good battery life despite using a 2-cell battery.
  • Non-removable battery. One fewer USB port than its peers. VGA connectivity requires a dongle.
  • The 1008HA is more cosmetically enhanced than the 1000HE, but it had to sacrifice a USB port and the removable battery in order to get there....

  • New slim design; clever hidden ports and connections; thin LED screen.
  • Near the upper end of the Netbook price scale; hidden ports and VGA dongle can take a little effort to access.
  • Asus reinvents its iconic Netbook with the slim, attractive Eee PC 1008HA, a bold experiment that largely works.

  • Extremely thin, light design, Spacious keyboard, Speedy hard drive, More than five hours of battery life
  • More expensive than competing netbooks, Battery not user replaceable, VGA port requires adapter
  • The Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is one of the slimmest and most attractive netbooks on the market, and with the latest Intel Atom processor and more than five hours of battery life, it has the brains and brawn to match its beauty. While it falls short of th...

  • Without properly benchmarking the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell, we can't give a definitive verdict. But the early signs look good, and we think the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell will be a winner. ...

  • The Eee PC 1008HA is a breath of fresh air in a market that has lacked a bit of spice recently. While there are a few design flaws, many are forgivable. The 1008HA looks stunning and it’s sure to turn a few heads when you pull it out of your laptop bag...

  Published: 2009-05-01, review by: technouptodate.com

  • Abstract:  The netbook market is dominated by laptops whose frames are thick slabs of unattractive plastics, and design is often sacrificed in the name of hitting cellar prices. In looks, the new ASUS EeePC 1008HA (Seashell) is basically everything that the EeePC...

  • Very stylish; lightweight; inexpensive
  • Nonremovable battery; port covers interfere with inserting larger USB devices; only two USB ports
  • Lightweight, compact, and extremely stylish, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell offers MacBook Air-style portability and panache at a netbook price. ...
