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

I had bought one for my wife and liked it so much I ordered a 2nd for myself.

Three words for this netbook: Stilysh, compact, slim. I was skeptical about getting 1008HA vs. 1005HA due to battery life but unless you travel often to Europe (which is a 12 hour travel from US) you might not need an all day computer. 4.5 Hours with mid-bright screen and running wi-fi (or 6 hrs no wifi/bt & lowest brightness) is what you get on this little machine. The covered ports are awesome and really makes this pc look expensive and original. Everyone in the office asks me about it because, compared to other netbooks, this one is really thin. Regarding the 2GB upgrade, you see when you run WinXP with customized desktops, antivirus & antispyware you're pretty much about 416MB of ram. The other 584MB you can use for PPTs, (Internet Explorer, Itunes, and Outlook) and you'll be fine. I have a friend who made the 2GB upgrade on this 1008HA and really, it doesn't feel any faster (performance wise). Windows 7 Requires a minimum of 1GB of ram for a 32BIT, so when the final release comes out it will run perfect. I'd give 5 stars just because $400 bucks really makes it worth of the price being 1/4th of a macbook air. You won't regret it.
