Asus EeePC 1008HA UltraSlim Netbook

So it looks like the Asus S101 isn’t the slimmest of the Eee PC line anymore. Asustek has announced a new netbook, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA (dubbed the Seashell) which it claims is only 1″ thin at its base.

Based on the photos below, this model of the Eee PC looks like the old MSI Wind U100.

The specs haven’t been fully revealed but UMPCPortal shares some tiny bit of info — 92% of standard keyboard size, 1.1kg weight, multi-touch touchpad, 1.3MP webcam, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, 3.75G and WiMax. Not sure what that 3.75G really means but most likely it’s just higher speed HSDPA (3.5G).

The 1-inch thick netbook doesn’t sound “ultraslim” to me considering that many other netbooks are within the 1″ range, including the earlier S101. Unless they can come up with lower than 1″ netbooks (say .7″ like the MacAir), they should hold up on using the ultraslim label or else they’ll run out of words later on.

  1. hmmmm… this is Asus counterpart for Apple’s air macbook. pretty sleek. hopefully it would come in the EeePc’s price range.

  2. This is cool if the price is also cool. I expect to have more choices and cheaper price as we approach the 2nd half of the year. I hope there’s more competition ahead so that we, the consumers would get more feature at a more affordable prices.
