What is it:
10.1-inch netbook with long battery life

We like:
Sleek, attractive design; amazing battery life

We don't like:
Thicker and heavier than the previous model, the Eee PC 1008HA Seashell

The judgement:
Asus hits nearly all the marks with the Eee PC 1005HA Seashell. Performance is typical of a netbook, but impressive battery life and a good keyboard make it stand out from the crowd
