Low Price ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life

Ahhh....the 1008HA Seashell is so cool and feels so good.

If you are looking for an overall excellent netbook then this is the one for you.

It is extremely nice looking, very thin and smooth just like a seashell. The style is truly fantastic. Better looking than any other netbook out there. It will blow you away when you see how nice it looks and how awesome it feels in your hands.

Performance is snappy and the sound is quite loud from the built-in stereo speakers. It is too bad you must be a brain surgeon to upgrade the memory ( RAM ), but this is really not a big deal since things work well with the included 1 GB of RAM. Still it would be nice to have the option to self upgrade. This is a weird design flaw ASUS ! The non user replaceable battery is not a big problem either as I have never needed an extra battery for a laptop and I always get rid of a laptop to get a new model before the battery ever goes bad. The trend is to build in the batteries and the laptop can be smaller, thinner, lighter due to using custom battery packs that fit around other components in the chassis. We will just have to get used to this.

The screen is sharp and bright using the latest low-energy LED backlighting. It is glossy, but I have found no problem with this. Colors are bright and vivid. The Seashell is also an "Energy-Star" approved device since it is very energy efficient.

The keyboard is very usable and the trackpad nice. The trackpad has little raised bumps and the multi-touch works good. The button is a one piece type and you push the right or left side. The button is somewhat stiff, but on the upside this prevents erroneous key presses.

It is the best netbook out yet in my opinion.

The included case is really nice and luxurious. It is a black velvet type of material outside and very soft inside and is very well padded. It has the eee logo and a zippered enclosure. It is a true case, not just a flimsy sleeve. It is a very nice touch that they include this.

The power supply or charger is white to match the white netbook. It is a 3 piece deal with a small "brick" in the middle and 2 cords. One goes from the brick to the wall and the other cord goes from the brick to the computer. While it is ok and serves it's purpose I would have preferred a "cell phone" type of charger with only a small cube that plugs into the wall and a cord plugging into the computer. This would have been much cooler.

Highly recommended netbook. This is the BEST netbook available right now in my opinion.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life.
