Asus Eee PC 1008 netbook details and pricing revealed

Eee PC 1008HAFollowing our hands-on first look of the Asus Eee PC 1008HA last week, we’ve finally been given the full details of this miniature wonder. We’ve also managed to get our hands on some official photographs, and it looks just as great in pictures as it does in the flesh.

As expected, the Eee PC 1008HA’s 10.2-inch screen features a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, which is fairly standard for a netbook. Processing power comes from an Intel Atom N280 chip, backed by 1024MB of memory. Storage space comes from a capacious 160GB hard drive, although there are currently no plans for an SSD model.

The internals aren’t going to set the world alight, then, but at £359 (inc. VAT) that’s no big surprise. Still, if all you’re after is a stylish and incredibly portable word processor or something to browse the web with, this has to be top of your wish-list.

    14 of the best netbooksWhen netbooks first arrived on the scene, no one – manufacturers or consumers alike – expected them to take the world by storm.

    Since then, we’ve seen netbooks from nearly every major manufacturer – several in some cases – which is great for the consumer. It also presents a conundrum, however, as with similar sizes and specifications throughout the market, it makes choosing the right netbook for you even more difficult. Here we take a look at the best, making it easy for you to pick your perfect portable.
