It could be a lousy battery life, low performance or just tad too pricey. Now, in 2011, Dell promised something that will balance out all these issues. For quite some [...]

Virgin Freedom Netbook review

It runs the aging Intel Atom N270 processor and has (boring) Windows XP on board.

Dell Mini 5 review

Dell Android MID runs, um, Android 2.0 operating system. It has a 5-inch bright WVGA display (800×480). It has all the latest connectivity options including WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G radios.

It has back and home buttons on the right side of the display.

It has a 5MP camera with dual-LED flash at its back to click pictures in the dark.

There is also a micro-SD slot via which you can expand the storage. It is ARM based and has 1300mAh battery, which may sound enough considering it is not x86-based. But, since it is also a phone and has a huge 4.8-inch display, 1300mAh may be too short for lasting through the whole day.

ASUS EEE 1008HA final thoughts

We have done plenty of tests on the EEE 1008HA and have played a lot with it from the past couple of days. So, do we recommend buying it? You will be able make your decision for sure after reading this post for sure.

We have tested and reviewed a lot of netbooks so far. However, EEE 1008HA is pretty different from the all the EEE PCs that have been released so far. Here are few points what make it different from the rest of the ASUS netbooks:

• It is hands down the most attractive EEE PC made till date
• It is very slim, which makes it easier to carry around
• Even though it comes with an 10-inch display, it is much shorter in height than the EEE 1000HE and EEE 1000H.
• It has a built-in battery. Most of the EEE PCs come with user-replaceable battery.
• That said, it still manages to provide us with great battery life (see this post for more information)
• Although its keys make a lot of noise while typing, it still has the best keyboard we have seen in ASUS netbooks.
• We absolutely hate carrying the VGA dongle. If you plan to connect your netbook to big screens and projectors, look out for some other netbook with built-in VGA output port
