Asus Eee PC 1008HA Netbook

Asus Eee PC 1008HA Netbook

Asus's next netbook might make you look twice. It's sexy, it's white--but it's not a Mac.


It's thin, sleek, and light, and at least one Macworld editor is eyeballing it with interest. Nevertheless, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA netbook is no MacBook. Asus seems to be spitting out new additions to its netbook line faster than I can count. (Who can forget the Asus Eee PC 1000HE, the Asus Eee PC 1000H 80G XP, and the Asus Eee PC T91? It ain't easy, since all three came out in the past six months or so.) Nevertheless, the company's designers continue to find ways to refine their machines. The proof is in this new $420 (as of May 26, 2009) netbook.

  • The good: New slim design; clever hidden ports and connections; thin LED screen.

    The bad: Near the upper end of the Netbook price scale; hidden ports and VGA dongle can take a little effort to access.

    The bottom line: Asus reinvents its iconic Netbook with the slim, attractive Eee PC 1008HA, a bold experiment that largely works.

    What is it: Stylish, lightweight 10-inch netbook

    What we think: Great styling and a relatively light chassis make this netbook a winner

    This VR technology provides for a completely immersive 3-dimensional experience by surrounding users in a cube of digital imagery, combined with stereoscopic glasses and motion-tracking hardware to provide for a dizzying ride through virtual environments.



    EON Reality’s ICube system uses an array of high-definition video projectors to bounce real-time CGI images into a cubic room covered with white screen surfaces. Each visitor dons a special pair of lightweight 3D glasses which can be outfitted with IR markers to detect head movements.
