And at the last paragraph as well. I guess in the end, it'll be up to your preferences and your threshold for money, if you'll buy this one or not.

Btw, any chance we're going to see an HP Mini 210 Broadcom HD review at some point? I'm really swaying towards that one, but wont get one before Engadget's seal of approval lol]]>Feb 5th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/dell-mini-10-with-broadcom-crystal-hd-accelerator-review/

Also tested some HP netbooks a few months ago for work - I'd rank them between the Asus and the Dell, closer to the Asus.

Hope this helps!]]>Feb 6th 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Thanks for the update Joanna! Its a shame that DELL was sluggish at everything else haha...

@THJ
Appreciate the help man! That ASUS has a craaazy battery life, and i love the fact that the Dell can be hackintoshed, but I know it sounds silly, but I'm actually really looking forward to the capabilities of the broadcom HD, so that i can attach it to a TV and watch 1080ps... Thing is, the DELL that Joanna linked above seems to be sluggish at everything else haha, that's why i was hoping that the new HP Mini 210 HD would redeem itself lol... Still those two netbooks you mentioned are awesome too, and i've considered them many times in the past!]]>Feb 6th 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 6th 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/

Until somebody spills their drink on it; then you'll be really glad you can yank the battery (or else you'll kick yourself for buying a laptop with an integrated battery). I can't imagine investing in a laptop that I can't remove the battery from. Certainly not an expensive model like a certain fruit-named manufacturer puts out.... :-P

where will you be able to get an extra battery (for $50)? will asus sell it or do you have to go third-party?]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/
Goes pretty far in furthering my opinion that Karim Rashid is the most overrated industrial designer ever. There are thousands of designers with far more talent than him that get paid far less because they didn't get a fancy chess set in a design book.

How about you make another vacuum cleaner with all the ergonimcs of a stick.

Yes, my thoughts exactly - Rashid is a poser:

"My real desire is to see people live in the modus of our time, to participate in the contemporary world, and to release themselves from nostalgia, antiquated traditions, old rituals, kitsch and the meaningless."

Sorry Karim, this lame case design screams nostalgia and kitsch. ]]>Feb 5th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/
My analogy is of KR's work is: Sorta like using an aerosol air freshener after doing the dirty on the can...sure the scent it's all fine and dandy but at the end of the day all it does is mask the sh1t!

I saw him speak a few years ago and was underwhelmed. His household product designs are usability disasters. Worse, he was totally unapologetic (in fact, he was rude) when asked about his reliance on industrial plastics over more environmentally friendly materials. And his tight white suit was just... douchey.]]>Feb 5th 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/asus-eee-pc-1008p-seashell-review/Feb 5th 2010 4:35PM
