Bite-Sized Asus Eee Seashell Returns To Original Netbook Flavour
Andrew Robichaud — May 27, 2009 — Tech
The Asus Eee Seashell is a gentle reminder why netbooks were such a good purchase in the first place.
It’s 1-inch thickness and 10-inch monitor make it fit right in as a conveniently portable laptop.
The Seashell weighs just 2.4 lbs which makes it small but not ridiculously small for hardcore computers (gamers, business folk, etc.).
The touch-sensitive track pad has a braille-like design instead of the smooth pallet used on most laptops worldwide.
It features 1gb of RAM (upgradeable to 2) and 160gb of hard drive space, bluetooth 2.1, and is conveniently priced at $429 (not as cheap as others but others tend to be larger).
Pretty decent little guy coming from Asus (their best netbook yet).
