This one does look might tempting though.]]>Jun 24th 2009 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 25th 2009 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/
However I'm hoping they would include a svelte docking base with an optical drive & extra batteries for the really long hauls, and the CPU section can detach for average, daily use. That way you get the best of both worlds.

The docking base would have HDMI/ S-Video outputs as well as extra USB ports.

Alone, the CPU section should last ~8hrs. ]]>Jun 25th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Especially considering how freakishly cheap it is these days.]]>Jun 24th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 24th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 25th 2009 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220551

Engadget just decided to link the blue version for some odd reason.]]>Jun 25th 2009 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 25th 2009 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 25th 2009 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 25th 2009 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 29th 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/
My 1008HA is great. The only real advantage with the 1005 is the battery, which also makes it a little larger, so it's a wash. I get 4 to 5 hours of use from mine. Whenever the battery dies to 30 minutes of use, I'm sure there will be something better for another $400 out there. With a solar battery/charger like the ULIFE022400 you can alleviate that anyway, if you really need extended mobile power.]]>Jun 25th 2009 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1005ha-available-for-pre-order-shipping-ju/Jun 26th 2009 11:48AM
