HotHardware.com has a first look at the first Eee PC netbook that looks nothing at all like its predecessors. All netbooks are rather square in design and frankly not that pleasant on the eye. Along comes the new Eee PC 1008HA. It has a nice seachell design which includes this netbook and the upcoming 1005HA.
Although visually pleasing, the specifications are about the sames as you’ve seen on practically every other netbook to emerge within the past six months.
