Asus launches super-slim Eee PC 1008HA

Just an inch thick at its thinnest part

4 March 2009 14:41 GMT / By Verity Burns

Asus has launched the super-slim EEE PCT 1008HA, a netbook measuring just 1-inch thick at its thinnest part.

Channelling more than a hint of the Apple's MacBook Air, the 1008HA weighs in at just 1.1kg and looks rather swish in a white "pearlescent" casing.

Asus are being quite shy with the specs at the moment, but we do know you can expect a 92%-scaled keyboard, a 1.3-megapixel camera and connectivity options of 802.11b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth 3G and WiMAX.

The 1008HA also features a desktop application bar called "Eee Docking" providing one-click access to a full suite of software.

There are few other details available at the moment, but word is that the price will come in cheaper than the high-end S101. We'll keep you updated on any news we get.

  • This Rocks !!! - It looks just like a Macbook Air :-)

    Three thinks would be great though (besides knowing it gets a removable battery):
    1. They should definitely make a 32GB and 64GB SSD model as well !!!
    2. Maybe make it an option to download a custom Linux image from their webpage for all their EEE-netbooks.
    3. Make the screen white so the color inside looks more like 1002
