The Eee PC 1008P 10.1" Seashell Karim Rashid Collection Netbook Computer from ASUS is a netbook featuring a modern, chic design and built with ultra-portability in mind. Designed by Karim Rashid, the trendy system weighs a scant 2.5 pounds. Its 10.1" screen is perfect for watching videos and browsing the web. The computer is bundled with a USB mouse and a protective sleeve.
The computer is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU and boasts 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi are available for wireless connectivity, and the computer features a built-in 1.3MP webcam and microphone. Its Lithium-polymer battery can power the system for up to 6 hours on a single charge. Windows 7 Starter is the installed operating system.
Making Waves with the Techno-chic Digi-Wave Design
The Eee PC 1008P is encased from top to bottom in visually striking, organic Digi-Waves. The rippling lines-which convey a sense of forward movement-adhere perfectly to the golden ratio, bearing testament to the extreme precision required to produce the subtle waves and retain color consistency across the peaks and troughs. The perfection of each wave can be perceived with the gentlest of touches
Be Classy in Matte Coffee Brown
Subtle, mature and understated yet elegant, Coffee Brown is timeless and classic. The Coffee Brown Eee PC 1008P has two layers: a Coffee Brown bottom layer sprinkled with gold glitter, and a soft-to-the touch upper layer of translucent rubber paint
No Deficiency in Efficiency
This Eee features a breathtaking design that includes a 10.1" frameless LED backlit display and an ergonomic chiclet keyboard. It also comes with an extra 500GB of online ASUS WebStorage which allows users to access, share and back up their files and media no matter where they are, through an easy-to-use drag-and-drop web-based interface
Saves Power and the Planet
The netbook features the power-saving Intel Atom N450 CPU, which works in tandem with ASUS' exclusive Super Hybrid Engine energy management technology to deliver 6 hours of battery life on a single charge. The replaceable battery design and memory door ensure that changing the battery or upgrading parts are simple affairs. In addition, the slim and eco-friendly Li-polymer battery can be charged more than one thousand times, which is three times more than normal batteries
The Signature of Style
Every Eee PC 1008P bears Karim Rashid's signature, marking its status as a beacon of style that will make waves wherever you tote it
