ASUS created a whole new category of computer with the launch of the ASUS Eee PC 701 in 2007. This innovative low-cost ultra-portable put a laptop well within the reach of everyone, and so the lifestyle netbook was born.
Subsequent models set the benchmark for all netbooks, with more powerful processors and larger screens. But no matter what their specification, ASUS designed each and every Eee PC with the belief that computers should be easy to use, both for work and play. Now ASUS is set to trigger a fresh laptop revolution with the launch of the Eee PC™ Seashell 1008HA.
The Eee PC™ Seashell 1008HA is the perfect travelling companion, whatever your destination, and we’re offering you the opportunity to experience this next-generation Eee PC™ first-hand.
We’re giving away 5 Eee PC™ Seashell 1008HA in May and June, and there are 2 ways to win:
-
