Manufacturer's Description

glossy hot pink

Making Waves with the Techno-chic Digi-Wave Design
The Eee PC™ 1008P is encased from top to bottom in visually striking, organic Digi-Waves. The rippling lines which convey a sense of forward movement adhere perfectly to the golden ratio, bearing testament to the extreme precision required to produce the subtle waves and retain color consistency across the peaks and troughs. The perfection of each wave can be perceived with the gentlest of touches.

Be Bold in Glossy Hot Pink
Hot Pink is the new black for fashion and a shock of punchy pink is just the thing to brighten any ensemble. This positive and very orgulous color clearly communicates the idea of immateriality, entropy and energy of a strong optimistic presence.

Great little machine 13 Jun 2010
Despite being an apple fanatic I chose this as a second computer for home. The specification was really good and this machine has lived up to,and indeed surpassed, my expectations. After using the bundled version of Windows 7 for 3 hours I downloaded Ubuntu and have been running the machine on Linux ever since. It is fast and responsive and I am really impressed with both the Asus and Ubuntu. Using Ubuntu, the machine boots up very quickly and shuts down in about 15secs. Open Office is bundled in the Ubuntu download and is also easy to use. Web browsing is fast and easy and streaming works well. The sound quality is fine but better with external speakers, of course! All in all an excellent machine. If the pink is too girlie then the bronze is good too!

Hot Pink! 19 Nov 2011
By Marfitt
I love the raspberry ripple coating on this netbook. Great design. This netbook is ideal for doing lightweight tasks such as surfing the web efficiently. One battery lasts for over 4 hours and two batteries are supplied. I have had no issues when using the device powered by the battery alone. However, when I have been using this plugged into the mains I have noticed that the mains adapter and the underneath of the netbook get very hot. On one occasion I was unable to switch the netbook back on whilst it was still hot.
I can hear the netbook fan operating and I had not obstructed the netbook ventilation in any way and was some what concerned!
After cooling down I was able to resume normal use of the netbook. I hope I have not shortened the lifespan of this netbook!!!!
Subsequently I decided to mitigate the risk of this overheating problem and removed the battery and am now simply running the netbook from the mains only. The adapter now stays cool and although I can still feel a hottish spot underneath the netbook it is much more localised to where the mains power input resides. So far this has been OK.

I am not sure if this overheating is experienced by other users or just me???? It may be that the normal use of this netbook is with the battery only??? I thought of investing in an external battery charger (to charge the battery outside of the netbook) but I can only seem to find an American supplier and nothing in the UK.
