Asus pulled up the curtain on its sleek looking new Netbook, Asus Eee PC 1008HA in March 2009. Asus terms Eee PC 1008HA as the most stylish and elegant looking of all the netbooks it has ever launched in the Eee PC series so far. Is the 1008HA "Seashell" better than other Eee PCs introduced until now? Is it worth the wait or can you just get the currently #1 selling netbook on Amazon: Asus Eee 1000HE.

The Asus Eee 1008HA is available for pre-order in the UK, but the shipping date given on Amazon UK (Price: £379.50 ~$570) is vague 1-2 month. Japanese notebook exporter Dynamism (Price: $449.99) lists the 1008HA with a shipping date of May 25th. I assume that the new Asus 1008HA will be shipping in the US still this month. Read on to see if the 1008HA is worth holding off your netbook purchase for a couple weeks.
