ASUS logo ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA has received an award for best netbook in Europe by EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association). The judges were particularly impressed by the slim and gorgeous design, low weight (1.1kg), large display (10 inches, 1024 x 600 pixels resolution) and relatively fast processor (Intel Atom N280 clocked at 1.66GHz).

Here's what EISA had to say about the Seashell 1008HA:

The rounded corners and the glossy surfaces define the ‘Seashell’ style of the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA. The unit is slim and light and very easy to carry. The 10 inch LED-backlight wide display of 1024x600 pixels is one the largest in its category. The device is powered by the Intel Atom N280 processor, the very best in the field and it’s pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows XP Home and Microsoft Works. The netbook also includes: 1GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB SATA HDD and 10GB Eee storage on the web. Effective connectivity is ensured as it comes with WLAN 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, 2 x USB 2.0, LAN, and an audio mini jack. If you want to have the most powerful netbook, and the most fashionable one, the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell is your best choice.

ASUS are of course quite pleased with the award and had the following to say:

“When we set about designing the Eee PC™ 1008HA Seashell, we wanted to make a statement both in terms of aesthetics and functionality,” said Samson Hu, Vice President of ASUS’ Eee Business Unit, System Business Group. “We were keen to equip it with the very best features, but remained sensitive to how this would impact the overall form of the device. I think we’ve struck a perfect balance with the Eee PC™ 1008HA Seashell—everything about it just makes sense. Receiving EISA’s European Netbook 2009–2010 award reassures us that we are charting the right course with our design and development efforts.”
