Expert Review:

Asus has given a new designer crocodile skin like texture to the EEPC 1008 Windows 7 Netbook through leading industrial designer like Karim Rashid. Thin (just 1”) and lightweight (2.42 lbs), the laptop is powered by Intel Atom Processor N450 with1.66 GHz clock speed, 667 MHz FSB and 512 Kb L2 cache.

The 10.1” LED-backlit TFT Widescreen 1024 x 600 pixels resolution frameless screen has poor viewing angles. The 250 GB capacity hard disk is sufficient for normal storage and the main memory is only 1 GB RAM. For external connectivity, this small laptop is provided with Wi-fi, Bluetooth and the traditional Ethernet but only 2 USB ports which is not standard. In addition there are built in speakers, webcam, headphone jack and microphone. The 3 cell 31 WHr Li-polymer battery lasts about 2 hours under normal usage.

Windows 7 Starter Edition drives this lightweight netbook and Asus provides standard 1 year manufacturer warranty. To sum up, the Asus EEPC 1008 Windows 7 netbook has great look, is highly portable and reasonably priced but is fit only for general day to day use.
