The rounded corners and the glossy surfaces define the ‘Seashell’ style of the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA. The unit is slim and light and very easy to carry. The 10 inch LED-backlight wide display of 1024x600 pixels is one the largest in its category. The devi...

Presumably having taken a blow to the head and woken with a small epiphany, a la Doc Brown in Back to the Future, Asus ‘invented’ the netbook back in 2007. The Seashell – or to give it its full name, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA – is its latest Eee-branded o...
The sexiest netbook by far.
Expensive for a netbook. It's lost a USB port!...

For its Eee PC Seashell series, Asus claims to have been inspired by one of nature’s most beautiful creations: seashells. From this starting point, Asus have created an elegant and functional series. The range is headed up by this very light 1008HA: 1...

We liked the Asus Eee PC 1008HA - aka Seashell - when we first saw it at the CeBit show this past March. Asus has done luxury netbooks before - most notably the Eee PC S101 - but they never won us over. Just too darn angular for us. You might as well...
Get over hang-ups about built-in batteries and youll see the 1008HA as not just a very, very sexy, slimline netbook but as an eminently portable and a powerful one too. The only aspect we dont like is the very limited upgrade path. Wed like the pri...

The Asus Eee PC Seashell (also known as the 1008HA) is been the most talked about netbook of recent months. The name is now a bit of a joke - the engineers meant to call it the clamshell, but that got lost in translation on the way over from Taiwan.Alt...

Surprisingly heavy, Mildly lacking graphics, Only a half-generation leap, 1GB RAM is not enough, About £150 too expensive...

Don't be fooled by the spec sheet. The Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell may boast the blandest of innards (A 1.66GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and Windows XP), but that's not what's new. The Seashell's USP is that all of these features...
The Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell doesn't look like anything you'd find washed up on a beach, but that's no bad thing. From the tapered edges to the firm, wide keyboard and invisible trackpad, it's the bestest looking Eee PC yet. And for a l...
Somewhere along the way, a USB port has been lost compared to previous numbers - there are just two tucked away on the sides - and the doors they live behind can be a bit too tough to prise open. The screen is almost as dim as Kerry Katona too, but these...
The Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell takes the slim profile of a MacBook Air and crosses it with netbook specs and size to come up with the most stylish, efficient ultra portable we've ever had the chance to play with. This is bound to trigger copycat comp...

Asus' propensity for creating an endless stream of different netbooks is well documented and it has been both a blessing and a hindrance. On the one hand it has kept its burgeoning Eee PC brand in the limelight; on the other it has fostered within us an e...
Hardcore netbook users, who want the very best battery life possible for the least amount of cost, won't find the Eee PC 1008HA to their taste - not least due to the inaccessible battery. Yet, Asus has delivered a very refined and classy netbook without s...

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is thin, sleek, and light. Asus may be spitting out more revisions of its Asus Eee PC netbook line than we can count, but at least its designers are continuing to look at ways to refine the machine. The proof is in this new netbook. Under its frosty exterior, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell sports current netbook innards: an Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Bluetooth, 802.11n, and a three-cell battery. The 92-percent full-size keyboard is big and...
