ASUS EeePC 1008HA (Seashell)

 

The ASUS EeePC 1008HA is the slimmest and lightest ASUS netbook yet.

Slimmer and sexier design than the 1000HE. Good battery life despite using a two-cell battery.

Non-removable battery. One fewer USB port than its peers. VGA connectivity requires a dongle.

Asus Eee PC 1008HA review: Asus Eee PC 1008HA

 

Asus Eee PC 1008HA

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.

Review Asus Eee PC 1008HA Netbook

 

The pretty boy. Asus, the "netbook pioneer", constantly extends i

Great design; Port covers; Good keyboard; Very energy efficient; Predominantly very quiet; Low heat development

Below-average display; Sensitive surfaces; Battery permanently built-in; Poor accessibility of components; Stiff touchpad key

Is enormous, but no model is so light with a similarly long battery life. The similarly light Aspire One D250 only has a 24Wh battery and clearly gets hotter. The particular unique selling points of the 1008HA are not necessarily sales relevant. The...

Review Update: ASUS Eee PC 1008HA with Windows 7

 

We were one of the first to bring you a review of the thin and light Eee PC 1008HA "Seashell" netbook. We decided to take a second look at this popular ultraportable now that ASUS has re-released it with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can a new operating...

Windows 7 boosts "snappiness ; More RAM than previous model ; Larger, faster hard drive

Still using Atom N280 processor ; VGA adapter is a mixed blessing ; Basically the same as before

In short, this update to the Eee PC 1008HA gives you more reasons to make a purchase if you were already on the fence ... but if you weren't interested in this netbook last time you probably won't buy it this time around either

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell Review

 

Once again, ASUS managed to impress our editors with their attention to build quality in the Eee PC line of netbooks. The glossy black plastics suffer from very little flex and the keyboard is as firm as even the best business-class notebooks on the...

Thin and light ; Excellent battery life ; Cool built-in VGA adapter

Integrated battery ; Weak VGA output performance at HD resolutions ; Bad touchpad buttons

Still, what the 1008HA lacks in performance, it makes up for in finishing touches. The thin and light design, extreme battery life, and nearly full size keyboard make the Seashell Eee PC a very attractive travel laptop. If you can overlook the...

Asus EEE PC 1008HA – a fancy 10″ Seashell netbook

 

Asus 1008HA Seashell review summary Most netbooks from Asus look good but are made to be more practical than fancy. Thus, some design elements might not be just as perfect as you'd want them or the actual...

very slim (up to 1 inch) and light (2.4 pounds) ; fancier looking than the standard 10″ netbook ; 10 inch display and 1024 x 600 px ; powerful enough hardware for everyday applications: N280 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive ; good connectivity:...

battery life is OK, but not great: up to 5 hours in real life tests (6 hours on paper) ; screen is glossy so using it in strong light conditions won't be pleasant ; the device is 10-15% more expensive than a standard 10″ netbook ; this device lacks the...
