The netbook market is dominated by laptops whose frames are thick slabs of unattractive plastics, and design is often sacrificed in the name of hitting basement prices. In looks, the new ASUS EeePC 1008HA (Seashell) is basically everything that the EeePC 1000HE isn't. Though the frame is still made up of plastic, it's noticeably thinner and lighter than the 1000HE while maintaining the 10-inch widescreen and 92 percent keyboard. Replacing a removable battery with a nonremovable one was the only serious sacrifice. Even then, the nearly 6 hours it scored in battery testing is more than acceptable.
