How to win?

The Eee PC Evolves

[Thank you to everyone who took part, the event has ended on 16th June, 2009]

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.

  • Inspired by nature

    Nature has a way of creating elegance out of simplicity and ASUS has followed the same philosophy for its latest Eee PC™. Inspired by the sleek shape of the humble seashell, the Eee PC™ Seashell 1008HA combines a striking slimline design with the latest mobile technology – the Seashell’s slender case is less than 1in at its thickest point and artfully curves to a razor-thin edge. This stunning low profile is made possible by a revolutionary new ASUS motherboard that takes up very little space, whilst the integral lithium-polymer cell removes the need for an unsightly, bulbous battery.

    The Seashell features a stunning new design that offers an unrivalled combination of style and function. The case tapers from less than 1" to mere millimeters to create an impossibly slim profile, and a dazzling pearlescent finish is the very epitome of style and sophistication.

    The 10" LED-backlit screen is complemented by a new low-profile keyboard that's 92% full size. The wide keys mean that typing on the Seashell is anything but a chore, while the large touch-pad multi-touch gesture support makes light work of documents and web pages.

  • A Perfect Balance

    Powered by the latest Intel® Atom™ N280 power-efficient processor, the Seashell is one of the fastest, most capable mini-laptops available. It's also one of the most portable and, despite it's incredibly low weight of just 1.1kg, it can last for up to six hours on battery power.
