Asus Eee PC 1008P Netbook Seashell Karim Rashid Collection Review in Laptops · Expect to pay £329.97

Laptops Thinks

A netbook aimed at girls, unless pink is your colour, that may stand out of the crowd simply due to its design and not its specification.

Laptops Price Comparison

Pros

The Asus Eee PC 1008P comes with an appealing chassis and a comfortable keyboard.

Cons

A girls' netbook that comes with an average battery life.

Introduction

The Asus Eee PC 1008P Seashell Karim Rashid edition is available around £329.9 and is based on the 1008P chassis with numerous tweaks. The chassis is slick and comes with a glossy surface and the surface is covered by numerous small, rectangular squares each of which is slightly twisted to give this netbook a rather unusual texture. It's available in either brown or pink.

Furthermore, another great feature of this netbook is how all of the ports are hidden behind flaps which help to give this netbook an unbroken pink, leathery appearance. In addition, the keyboard and trackpad are both large and easy to use honestly a joy to use.

Unfortunately, the 1008P is rather underpowered thanks to the Intel Atom N450 CPU clocked at 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive. However, its battery life is fairly average at 3.5hours but still fairly decent.

Overall, the 1008P Karim Rashid netbook isn't the best netbook on the market even though it may be one of the best looking.

Conclusion

This limited edition Karim Rashid designed netbook is light, compact and delivers an impressively long battery life.
