    Asus' diminutive Eee 1008HA Seashell which we review, makes a handful of tradeoffs for its stunning good looks. Read more

    • Thin, lightweight design; functional keyboard and multi-touch-capable trackpad; minimal preinstalled clutter; respectable netbook performance
    • Needs hard-to-find drivers to enable true multi-touch; non-removable battery; deeply recessed ports

    Click To Enlarge Basically, if you select this netbook over the fantastic Eee PC 1000HE, you'll be doing so for style alone. Overall, you get less functionality for your money, but if you're willing to shell out for beauty... Read more

    When the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell first launched, it impressed us with its thin design and above-average performance. Now updated with Windows 7 Home Premium, a larger 320GB hard drive, twice the RAM, and a suite of... Read more

    The design pleases and also the associated interface covers will surely find their fancier. The performance is on the well-known netbook level despite optimised energy efficiency and is added to by the standard range of... Read more

    My new eee pc only worked for three months, then it stopped working gradually over the next two months... first the power supply started to get flakey, then the wifi card stopped working, and then the lcd screen broke. Read more

    The Asus 1008 HA is ultraportable, nicely designed and does what you expect from a netbook. It makes my older Asus 1002 HA look big. I have gotten the white version of it, since I didn't want fingerprints to be seen on the... Read more

    • Lightweight, Long Battery Life, Quiet
    • Not a powerhouse, RAM upgrade is tricky

    This is a very prudent purchase if you're looking for something super tiny to take with you for trips of any flavor. I'd recommend going to 2GB of RAM as this significantly improves the capabilities of this netbook. Read more

    • Very responsive touchpad.
    • These might be a little nitpicky, but ... it doesn't have an easy option for an upgrade to one of the Windows 7 variants.

  4. Met all my expectations

    I got this netbook for my daughter to use in school. It's been a great success. It's small enough for her to easily take to school in her purse and the battery life gets her through the day, most days. Read more

    • Adequate Storage, Comfortable Keyboard, Compact, Fast, Good Battery Life, Lightweight
