The Asus Eee PC 1008P is definitely a premium looking netbook, with regular netbook performance. It also comes with two separate batteries, gesture-enabled touchpad, and pretty good battery life. At Rs. 26,990, the higher price tag is highly justified...
Great design, very sexy looking, Decent CPU performance
Switching batteries, as included one is a 3 cell, Expensive
