Digital Home Thoughts: New Asus Netbook and Laptops

"We've got the skinny on ASUS's latest North American foray, with the Eee PC 1008HA Seashell, UX50 and U80V "thin and light" all vying for your slice of the stimulus this summer. The quite familiar (by now) 1008HA will be retailing for $429, featuring 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, a new thin form factor and six hours of battery (thanks to the Super Hybrid Engine) to set it slightly apart from the netbook competition."

If Apple ever came out with a traditional netbook, I'd expect it to look a lot like this. If you like the whole thin and light thing, but want more of a traditional laptop, check out the U80V at $899 or the UX50 for $1,199.
