By Ollie Lucas (cnet.co.uk) Read the full review
An excellent netbook, one of the best out there at the moment, so easy to carry around (ideal for school) The Screen is very nice, and if you get the windows 7 edition, you can get a 250GB model with 500GB online storage, which is obviously extremley...
Excellent design, price, portable generally good performance
Performance CAN sometimes be slow and sluggish but only for a short period, volume keys stopped working very quickly

Asus Eee PC 1008HA notebook
By (pocket-lint.com)
Does a built-in battery reduce this model's appeal?
The Eee PC 1008HA looks as sleek as a high-end laptop, only without the price tag. Its looks are far removed from the OEM-looking netbooks of the past. This Asus Seashell does have the more powerful CPU that we wished for in the 1005HA and only at £80...

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA
By Dan Ackerman (zdnet.co.uk)
ASUS has reinvented its iconic netbook in the shape of the slim, attractive Eee PC 1008HA. It's a bold experiment that largely works.
New slim design ; Clever hidden ports and connections ; Thin LED-backlit screen
Pricey for a netbook ; Hidden ports and VGA dongle can take a little effort to access

Asus Eee PC 1008HA - 10in Netbook
By Andy Vandervell (trustedreviews.com)
Award: Recommended!
Andy takes a look at Asus' latest netbook effort, the 'seashell' inspired Eee PC 1008HA netbook.
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...
And, while it is expensive for a netbook, it delivers enough that it isn't extortionate. Thus, if you're after a little more refinement than regular netbooks can deliver, this is your best bet.

Eee PC 1008HA Seashell review
By Rory Reid (cnet.co.uk)
Award: Editor's Choice!
The Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is better-looking and more portable than the vast majority of its 10-inch rivals. Based on that fact alone, it's worthy of recommendation. It's worth noting, however, that its battery isn't user-replaceable, and you won't get...
Comfortable keyboard and mouse ; Lightweight chassis ; Excellent styling
Battery isn't user-replaceable ; No 3G
Conclusion The Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is a stunning netbook. It's very comfortable to use, extremely light and portable, and is a good all-round performer. For us, the Eee PC 1000HE's superior battery life makes it the better machine, but the Seashell...

Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell review
By Alex Cox (techradar.com)
Although it's more expensive than the majority of the Eee line, it's worth bearing in mind that the Seashell does away with many of the 'innovations' that turned the original few into -- and bear in mind we're saying this with a fair bit of hindsight...
Adequate - if over shiny - screen ; Slim, unisex rofile ; Decent battery life ; Low-voltage architecture ; Pleasant keyboard
Surrisingly heavy ; Mildly lacking grahics ; Only a half-generation lea ; 1GB RAM is not enough ; About £150 too exensive

Asus Eee PC Seashell 1008HA review

The Eee Seashell does good things for the netbook market, but is it really just a stopgap?

Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell review
By Darren Gladstone (pcadvisor.co.uk)
We take a look at the netbook that some people are comparing to a MacBook: the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell.
Without properly benchmarking the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell, we can't give a definitive verdict. But the early signs look good, and we think the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell will be a winner.

Asus Eee PC 1008HA
By Jayesh Shinde (pcworld.in)
The Asus Eee PC 1008HA performs decently and is the slimmest, lightest, and Eee PC out there. But all that style comes at a price.
Looks ; Slim design ; Multigesture touchpad
USB ports ; Battery
At Rs. 29,620, the Eee PC 1008HA is the costliest Eee PC ever, no doubt. But if you want a sleek, good looking netbook which does everything it should, you should definitely check the 1008HA out.

Asus Eee PC 1008HA review
By Dan Ackerman (asia.cnet.com)
The Eee PC 1008HA, better known as the Seashell, charges a premium for its new slim and tapered profile.
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.
