ASUS Eee PC Seashell 10 Inch Netbook

Its like the Macbook Air, except cheaper, lighter, longer running, more versatile, cheaper, more durable, and less yuppie.

This is the netbook that has both Leo and Andy swooning over its looks.

ASUS really wanted to step up the bar in design with this product, to set itself apart in the netbook industry, and they have done it with the Seashell EEEPC.

For the most part, every single netbook uses the same exact platform... a 1.6 ghz intel atom... 1gb of ram... etc. Therefore, you are choosing your netbook based on the chassis and aesthetic, as they will all perform roughly the same.

This is where the Seashell excels. It has a battery that lasts for 6 hours, a multi-touch mouse, a beautiful sleek body, and a keyboard that is 92% of full size. Toss Windows 7 or Linux Mint on this baby, and you will have the perfect road companion for a third the price of what Apple charges for their Macbook Air laptops.

ASUS not only invented the netbook, but they have been the leader in each generation of them that has been released. It seems clear that the Seashell is representative of a beginning of the third generation of the netbooks.
