Asus outs Karim Rashid Eee PC SeaShell

Asus is looking to invade the fashion-accented market of HP netbooks. So move aside Vivienne Tam and Tord Boontje — Karim Rashid is here.

This is basically the Asus EeePC 1008P with Intel’s Atom Pine Trail.

Intel Atom N450
10.1-inch display @1024×600
1GB of DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD
WiFi 802.11n
Gigabit LAN
Bluetooth 2.1
1.3 megapixel camera
3-cell battery

And it looks like they put some effort in the design of the lids (it’s not just a paint finish but a textured one as well).

The Karim Rashid Collection is available in Hot Pink and Coffee Brown colors and will sell for Php25,900.

@josengsisiw

of course you can.. but that’s not the point here. the price premium is due to the redesign of the case. Kinda like buying a Sony over an Acer, considering same specs.

It comes with an extra battery pack too …. a nice feature when you’re out on vacation, or just working in some coffee shop. :)

Ram is down even though putting a Pinetrail, still its not in my choice. Really don’t like the specs and the looks. Fashion, eh?
