ASUS Eee PC 1008P (Seashell) review

Asus Eee PC 1008P Karim Rashid Collection review: Asus Eee PC 1008P Karim Rashid Collection

Asus Eee PC 1008P Karim Rashid Collection

Nice design for a Netbook; twice the RAM of typical Netbooks.

More expensive than other Netbooks, but lacks some high-end features.

This sharp-looking version of the popular Eee PC Netbook has more RAM and a bigger hard drive than entry-level models, but it features the same CPU and low-res display.

Review Asus Eee PC 1008P Netbook

A Vision by Karim Rashid! Asus presented yet another 10.1 inch ne

Elegant design by Karim Rashid; Robust surfaces; Chiclet keyboard; Good workmanship and stability; Intel Atom N450 processor; Very long battery life; Low power consumption; Good work rate; Price

Average viewing angle stability; Poor display (glare type); Missing multi-format cardreader; Poor loudspeakers; Poor scope of delivery

All current netbooks with a 10.1 inch screen based on Intel's new Pine Trail range. For example, among others, Asus' Eee PC 1005PE, Dell's Mini 10, MSI's Wind U135 or Acer's Aspire One 532 netbook.

I was selected to be one of a group of bloggers who'll get the use of an ASUS Eee PC 1008 netbook for a year. This isn't quite the typical netbook though, as this is a “Seashell Karim Rashid Edition” … and before you ask, no — I had never heard of...

Asus Eee PC 1008P review

If you want to make a statement with your choice of netbook, look no further than the Karim Rashid edition of the Asus Eee PC. That's assuming you can overlook the - still eye-catching - chocolate-brown edition, and plump straight for the pink.

In areas such as screen and keyboard, the Asus Eee PC 1008P remains as weak as its Seashell predecessors. But for its chosen audience, we’re sure this netbook will win hearts in its coral-bling Hot Pink finish. And exceptional battery life is a welcome...

Asus Eee PC 1008P Karim Rashid Edition

Cloaked in faux reptilian skin all around, the premium-looking 10-inch Asus Eee PC 1008P netbook definitely makes heads turn.

Slim design ; Stylish, unique exterior ; Two 3-cell batteries ; Gesture-enabled touchpad ; Extended online storage

Two USB ports

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...
