Asus Eee PC 1008P
Written by Lee
Asus Eee PC 1008P is a unique netbook designed by the renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid who has done a marvellous job on its exterior; however, the inside the shell sits a smart package put together by Asus engineers. Asus 1008P Seashell has been innovated on the legacy of Asus 1008HA version which is itself a great machine but this new budget Asus Eee PC 1008P offers more bang for your bucks with its distinctive look, extra artistic improvements and outstanding battery life.
Light Weight Seashell Chassis with Matte Coffee Brown
In terms of design, the Asus Eee PC 1008P netbook is simply oustanding. This 1.1kg lightweight netbook comes enfolded in an elegant casing with striking Coffee Brown layers sprinkled with glittering gold from top to bottom and for a softer touch to the upper layer translucent rubber paint has been used. When you open the lid, you see a new matte look instead of the traditional glossy interior and there you see Karim’s signature just below the keyboard as an endorsement for the 1008P aesthetics.
Energy-Efficient Intel Atom N450 Processor
In the processing area, you see the Intel Atom N450 processor built on the new Pine Trail platform for quick and smooth handling of day to day tasks. It’s always great to have huge memory but the Asus Eee PC 1008P being a highly portable laptop is powered by 1GB RAM and Windows 7 operating system to give boost to the overall performance of the machine. Since Asus 1008P is not meant for running heavy applications, 3D games or memory-intensive programs, therefore, the processing devices are more than enough for corporate and home users.
10.1” Screen and Outstanding 8.5hours Battery
The smart display screen is quite impressive and suitable for some serious work besides enjoying videos and other multimedia on this netbook. The best thing about the 10.1” widescreen display is its energy-saving efficiency which helps the system to enhance battery life up to 8.5 hours which is simply incredible! Laptops screens consume a major chunk of your battery but Asus has crafted the display in such a way that it doesn’t drain the battery too quick and enables system to last up to 510 minutes from a single charge.
The Bottom Line
Weighing just 1.1kg, the Asus 1008P netbook is a superb addition to the Asus Eee PC family. With its unique design and colour combinations, it looks equally attractive for both office goers and home users. Designed especially for frequent travellers, the Asus Eee PC 1008P lets you perform all your tasks with its 8.5hours of outstanding battery.
